1128 REVISION OF AUSTRALIAN LEPIDOPTERA, 



shelter of silk and refuse. The perfect insects are very retired in

If the name Hejnalus is derived from the Greek rjmaXos, it 

 should of course be written without the aspirate ; but it appears 

 to me that this derivation is very doubtful, and that without 

 more certainty it is undesirable to vary the usually adopted form.
