Show 408 MR. H. DRUCE ON DIURNAL [June 1, 16. A. PSEUDOPTERA, Butl. I. c. p. 428. n. 2. 17. A. AMPHIPROTEA, Butl. I. c. n. 3. The above five species are very closely allied ; and had not Mr. Butler and myself been able to find the sexes of each, I should have preferred considering them as all varieties of one variable species. I have a long series of most of them in my collection. 18. A. EGINA, Cram. Pap. Ex. i. t. 39. f. F, G (1776). 19. A. FORMOSA, Butl. Cist. Ent, p. 213 (1874). Cabinda (J. J. M.). 20. A.
