- Since the above was put into type, Sir George F. Hampson, of the British Museum, has sent me very kindly a transcript of the description of Rhodocera lycorias Doubleday Gray's Zool. Misc. 1842 77 77 78, fig. maleand a tracing of the figure, from which it is clearly evident that both sexes are synonymous with Dercas Verhuelli. The habitat given is “Silhet.” In the description d. Verhuelli is not mentioned, so it may be safely assumed that Doubleday had never heard of it, or he would not have described his species.
