CEPIDOPTEBA OF THE FAXILT ZTOBNIDX. 403
finding this species without a label, forthwith redescribes it. This
will, I think, account for several instances which I have noticed
of evidently the same species described twice over in consecu-
tive pages of Wnlker’s Catalogues.
Genus COREMATUBA, n. Sen.
Priinaries with two subcostal and four apparent median branches
visible to the nnlred eye, the lower radial forming the fourth
median, the upper radial not visible ; discocellular strongly
angulated in the middle. Secondaries with two subcostal
branches. the upper one lying close to the costa, and four
median branches, the fourth being really the lower radial ;
discocellular strongly angulated. Antennae slender. Head
rather small. Abdomen very long, with large bushy anal tuft.
Type C. ch y8oymtra, Perty.
1. COREMATURA CHRYSOGASTRA = Glaucopis chrysogastra, Petty,
Delect. pl. 31. f. 10.
Eunomir abtlominrlis, Walker, Lep. Het. vii. p. 1617.
St. Paul0 (Bates), Arcliidona (Steam). B.M.
Described again by Walker (in his ‘ Supplement,’ i. p. 89) as
Lagaria abdominalis.
Genus ABQYROEIDES, n. gem*
Primaries with one evident subcoutal branch (forking from
below near apex); two radials placed at the upper and lower
extremities of the cell, so thnt the lower discocellular is reduccd
to about a quarter the length of the upper ; discocellulam
nearly straight ; three median branches, emitted regularly
beyond the middle of the nervure. Secondaries with two wbcostals
; one radial ; straight discocellulars, the upper rather
longer than the lower ; thrce median branches emitted regularly
beyond the middle of the nervure. Antennae plumose to near
the tip. Head moderately large ; palpi about level with top of
head. Abdomen constricted at the base, with terminal straight
anal tuft. Type A. ophion, Walker.
1. .4RGYROEIDES OPHION=Glnucopis (Dinia) OphiOn, Walker, Lep.
Het. i. p. 191.
Crrthagens and Venezuela (Eeckw). Type, B.M.
* I am awnre of the fnct that Aryyrodes (Si.) has bean used for 8 genus of
Arachnida ; but I think Argyioeidts distinct enough for 80 dissimilar a group of
8llhdS.
