Halisidota falacra Uogn., etc. 



This insect has been identified by Sir George Hampson as the harfris of Sepp. 

 1 have carefully compared the figures with my long series of 20 f?c?, 4? ?, and in 

 none of them is there any trace of the two transverse bands sliovvn in the figures; 

 and therefore there is no reason, in my opinion, to identify this species with Sepp's 

 insect. Sir George has also identified Sepp's Plialaeim citrina and Phalaena 

 rhomboidea with i'harklea seruba Herr.-Schiiff. and Halisirlota utrigidosa Wlk. 

 respectively. Here again, on comparison, I cannot see any likeness between Sepp's 

 drawings and the respective insects. 



Therefore these insects must stand as 'I'liali'sn srrnbii (H.-S.J and llaUsidota 

 striquloMi ^\'lk.
