my material, and it is not clear that Mr. Morrison has identified a species 

 more nearly resembling Hiibners figure than the ordinary identification 

 of tritona. 



Apatela grisea (Walk). 



I have examined Mr. Walker's types in the British Museum, and I 

 made the note : Fore wings like tritona ; hind wings white. Professor 

 Belanger sent me a species which I considered to be this of Walker's. 

 It now appears to me that Mr. Morrison has altered my determination 

 and described the moth as a new species. I think that, until Mr. Walker's 

 species is more satisfactorily identified, my own determinaiion should not 

 be interfered with. 



I have since identified several of the species marked unknown to me 

 in the " List " of 1874. A shorter compilation of the "List" is now 

 published. It is no proof that the species is unknown now, that it was 

 at that time. For instance, I have since identified Schinia gracilenta, and 

 it seems to me that it is the same as oleagina Mori.; in my specimen the 

 subterminal space is a little darker than terminal, as somewhat exag- 

 geratedly shown in Hiibners figure ; there is a faint discal discoloration 

 beneath and traces of a subterminal line ; the hind wings above are 

 hardly '''rosy" along exterior border. My specimen is undoubtedly the 

 same species as Mr. Morrison's, and also came from my old school-friend 

 Mr. Graef. I come to the conclusion that oleagina is not a var., but a 

 synonym of gracilenta. 



Apatela de?itata, ;/. s. 



$ . This is allied to tritona and grisea, but is a smaller species 

 wanting all the black dashes. The ground color is blackish, shaded over 

 with whitish. The lines black, single, denticulate. The claviform is 

 indicated by a slight black mark. Orbicular obsolete. Reniform 

 whitish, rounded, with its outward edge black-lined and shaded. T. a. 

 line running in a little on median vein. T. p. line inaugurated above the 

 reniform, running well outwardly, denticulate throughout its length. Sub- 

 terminal line hardly apparent ; a blackish shade over median nervules on 

 the gray terminal space. Fringes gray preceded by blackish interspaceal 

 markings. Hind wings fuscous, lighter towards the base, with indistinct 

 line. Beneath much paler, irrorate, without discal marks and with a 

 common shaded line.
