some readily appreciable differences which I have used in the

Remarks on the described species of Sibine. 



S. vidua Sepp. The figure represents the fore wings crossed 

 by a bent white line, the hind wings broadly pale brown on the 

 disk. Of fumosa Walker says, "fore wings with an indistinct, 

 irregular and very slender whitish discal stripe." I presume the 

 two refer to the same species. 



Phalcena Bombyx vidua Sepp, Surin. Vlind., I, pi. 6, 1828. 



Nyssia fumosa Walker, Cat. Brit. Mus., Lep., v, 1134, 1855. 



.5. nesea Stoll. 



The figure represents a female in which a strong effort has been 

 made to show the peculiar gloss of the wings, a general character. 

 The subapical dots are shown as united into a short transverse 

 line. I have no specimens showing this character. In Can. ent., 

 xxix, 77, I identified the larva figured by Stoll (Suppl. pi. 21, fig. 

 3) with nesea, but, as I overlooked that Cramer figures three spe 

 cies of Sibine, it is not certain to what moth this larva should be 

 rightly attributed.

S. apicalis n. sp. 



I describe this as new with some hesitation. Most of my speci

 it something. However, it does not correspond to any described
