The Asiatic species " Cyclopides " subvittaius, Moore, also appears to belong either to this genus or to one closely allied to it, but the only specimens I have been able to examine have been without antennas and palpi; at any rate it does not belong to Cyclopides, from which the neuration at once separates it. 6.
