In one female, received from Mr. Grote and labeled " C. remissaria 

 Walk. ( Tetrads pandaria Walk.)", which had been compared by him with 



Walker's type, the wings arc mottled coarsely with dark brown, and the 

 lines are heavily shaded, particularly the extradiscal, on both wings, while 

 the inner line on the fore wings is held distinctly at right angles. It is 

 evidently hut a variety of confusaria. 



Regarding the reduction of Walker's species to synonyms, 1 find I have 

 arrived at the same conclusions as Messrs. Grote and Robinson. They say: 

 "The specimens registered as J Caberodes imbraria, \>. 168, £ C. super- 

 aria, id., £ C. ineffusaria, p. lo'9, and J C. Jioridaria, id., seem to us to 

 belong all to C. metrocamparia, Guenee; 9 C. remissaria is darker and 

 maculate, but hardly seems distinct." They add that " Tetrads pandaria 

 Walk, is evidently the 9 of his Caberodes remissaria, which may thus be a 

 distinct species".

2 £ and 1 9. — Body and wings pale ochreous, with an almost frosty 

 appearance. Wings well angulated ; on the hind wing a sinus just before the 

 angle. Apex of fore wings pointed obtusely, but more prominent than usual. 

 Wings more densely scaled than usual, being uniform on both wings. Fore 

 wings with the inner line curved as usual, faint brown; outer line brown, oblique, 

 very straight in its course to where it is reflected on to the costa, below which 

 it is broadly and diffusely shaded with brown externally, thus differing from 

 all the other species known to me. Hind wings with the line shaded as in the 

 anterior pair, but only reaching as far as the discal space. Beneath, wings tinged 

 with a warm yellpw-ocbreous tint, costa and fringe being yellowish, as well as 

 the body, the legs, and also the veins. Both wings uniformly clouded with 

 smoky specks, rounded, not transverse as in C. effectaria. Common line very 

 distinct, dusky-brown, on the fore wings bent on the independent venule, on 

 the hind wings well curved, sinuate, and extending on to the costa, 



Length of body, c?, 0.80, 9, 0.80; of fore wing, S , 0.90, 9, 0.90; 

 expanse of wings, 1.90 inches.
