comprises two genera, Pogotiostoma, wiih 32 species, all from Madagascar 

 and the outlying islands, and Ctenoitoma, with 45 species, from South 

 and Central America, one extending into Mexico. The second tribe is 

 divided between the genera Tricondyla ( Tricondyia, s. str., and 

 Derocrafiiti), which contains 27 species, with numerous subspecies, and 

 Collyris (subgenera Archicollytii and Neocoiiyris), listing 65 species. 

 Hoth of these genera are Oriental. The remainder of the work is 

 promised soon. — H. F. Wickiiam.

Mesoitiica implicata, var. Williitmsi, n. var. 



Expanse, 21-24 mm. Palpi short and dark, front of head dark, with 

 mark between antennu', as in implicata, Cin.; thorax and abdomen dark 

 olive-brown. Fore wings olive-brown, with no traces of light ash as in 

 implicata, the narrow band enclosing distal dot very dark olive, border of 

 wings dark olive-brown. Otherwise the course of lines and their number 

 are the same as in implicata. Hind wings dark, with 7 or 8 dark smoky 

 bands (not discernible in all specimens). Beneath two faint curved extra- 

 discal lines and one broad marginal, with venular dots on fore wings. 

 Hind wings with two broad extradiscal dark bands and heavy dots at base 

 of intervenular dots of fringe. 



This variety is evidently a second brood of implicata, and differs 

 from the latter in the dark olive-brown fore wings with band enclosing 

 discal dot of the same colour, where in implicata it is light ash, as is also 

 the border of the wing, which is dark in ll^illiamsi. The body of 

 ly/lliamsi is dark, and the dorsal spots more diffuse than in imp/icata, 

 which has lighter hind wings and lacks the heavy dark wavy bands with 

 dark fringe. Heneath the difference is less striking, except in the type, 

 which is more heavily marked on the hind wings. 



This is quite a striking variety, and I find nothing like it in Packard's 

 scries from (!al., Nev. and IJ. C. I take pleasure in naming it after ,Mr. 

 I*". X. Williams, from whom 1 received it.
