-j- This is placed by Hampson in the Hypsidae, but it is taken here for convenience. 

 Nyctemera is now restricted to certain African moths formerly called Otroeda, now placed 

 in the Lymuntriidae. 



% Hampson has recently given the generic name Miselia Tr. priority over Polia Tr. 

 With the imperfect material at his disposal when writing his catalogue he considered the 

 North and South Island forms sexes of White's species. The type in the national col- 

 lection is the same insect as Meyriek's rlwdopleura, so that name sinks. The description 

 in the catalogue requires correction owing to the confusion of the two species. See 

 Ann. Mag. Nat, Hist, (8), viii, p. 421 (1911).
