Mr. Grote'stype is in the British Museum, and is, as I have for some 

 time suspected, my fiavicornls, the type of which is with Mr. Graef. I had 

 seen propinquilinea, I believe, in Mr. Thaxter's collection, but the speci- 

 mens were very much more sharply marked than the one whichbecame 

 niy type. My generic reference holds good.

The Grote and Walker types are in the British Museum. Mr. Cra- 

 mer's type is in the Doll collection, and the type of pal-lulu is in the 

 Edwards collection. I have seen all the types and the above synon- 

 ymy is correct, I believe. The Raphia onychlna Gn., was described as 

 Epunda, referred to Raphia by Walker and to Cleoceris by Grote. This 

 has resulted in a duplication of the name in my list of Lepidoptera.
