Dr. Pagenstecher described this sj)eeies under the name of Agarista dulla 

 in 188'!, in the Jahrhiicker dcs Xas-vtuischeii W-rriiig Jtir yaturlmnde, but it is 

 undoubtedly an Arctiid, and fits best into the genus Pericallia. Sir George 

 Hampson places it among the unrecognised species, and quite rightly so, as he had 

 never seen it.
