All this is quite unlike the insect, as a glance at our Plate will show. If Fabricius' description was taken from Jones' figures, why should all the spots on the forewings be called white, or why should the ocelli be described an blind, with the exception of the second and third ! Or why should the descrip- tion call for seven ocelli when the figure shows but six! Now it happens that one of the group.^ into which the American species of this genus divide themselves is characterized by just such a simple curved discal band on pr .' 'i-ies as appears in Jones' figures, made up of six oval spots, and outside these i>. .- white spots, two of which are sub-apical, and two placed parallel to the b. just as in these figures also. Of this style of ornamentation are certain Central American species, and also the one called Ichjja, Hubner, lig- urcd in the Samml. Exot. Schmett., a West Indian species ; and that the resem- blance to Herse may appear, I subjoin a cut of it also, copied for me by Mr. Scudder from Hiibner's figure. It must be allowed to approach Herse remark- Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Edwards, William H.
