PHYCITIDAE. 



HeosphorA; Meyr. 



Under my original description of H. virginella, Meyr., I 

 unfortunately confused two species, which I have since been 

 enabled to separate by the acquisition of additional materiah 

 As the description is no longer strictly determinable, I here 

 describe both species afresh, retaining the name virgmella for 

 that which I originally regarded as the typical form.
