My question concern entomology. In The Hound of the Baskervilles, Conan Doyle 
wrote : "I was chasing a Cyclopides. He is very rare, and seldom found in the 
late autumn". 
I don't find any information about cyclopides on the Web. It is certainly a 
species of butterfly or moth.
Could you give me more infornations about cyclopides and identify the one in 
the story ? The Hound located in Devonshire (England)during october 1900.
Many Thanks.
Jean-Pierre
