Guenee's description is based on defective material and is at best 

 comparative. But tbis is undoubtedly bis species, recognizable from 

 tbe cbaracter assigned to tbe reniform spot. 



I bave now identified all of Guenee's descriptions of Deltoidae from 

 our Territory, witb tbe exception of Rivula propinqualis. Tbe species 

 referred by Guenee to Helta, will be described in a succeeding paper.
