258 ON THE NATURAL HISTORY OF THE CLAREMONT ISLANDS. 



Heterocera. 



Pachyarches psitticalis. Only one example of this lovely pea- 

 green Pyrale seen and captured. 



Notarcha multilhiealis. I did not see this in the perfect state, 

 but bred two from larvae taken feeding in curled up leaves of 

 Hibiscus, It is a widely spread and very abundant species, 

 occurring upon all the islands that I have visited. 



Xinhenia recurvalis. Abundant amongst low herbage. This 

 species appears to be cosmopolitan, for I have taken it in all parts 

 of the world I have been to, except the extreme north, 



, Siriocanta testulalis. Common. I also bred one from a larva 

 feeding in a head of Mentha ? This is likewise a universally 

 distributed species among the islands, and I have taken it near 

 Sydney. 



Pachyxancla mutualis. Common. 



In addition to the above I captured several species of Micro- 

 Lepidoptera, which are quite new to me.
