The last synopsis of this genus was made in 1850, in the' Genera of Diurnal Lepidoptera.' The uumber of species at that time amounted to twenty-six; and in Mr. Kirby's Catalogue, published in ] 871, we find the number brought up to fifty-three. Since then a large number have been described; and in addition to them, in the present paper I add descriptions of twenty-one new species, bringing the total number described up to ninety-five-nearly four times the number named in the 'Genera.' I find that in several instances species have been described two or three times over, and that others hale been overlooked on account of the localities where the specimens were obtained not having heen marked upon them. 1 have endeavoured in the following list to correct, as far as possible, all these errors; but in some few instances I have not been able to examine the types or figures of them; therefore I do not feel certain that all the species are placed in their right position. |
