Mr. Grote'stype is in the British Museum, and is, as I have for some 

 time suspected, my flavicornis^ the type of which is with Mr. Graef. I liad 

 seen propinquilinea, I believe, in Mr. Thaxter's collection, but the speci- 

 mens were very much more sharply marked than the one which became 

 my type. My generic reference holds good.

The Grote and Walker types are in the British Museum. Mr. Cra- 

 mer's type is in the Doll collection, and the type of lyallulu is in the 

 Edwards collection. I have seen all the types and the above synon 

 ymy is correct, I believe. The Raphia oni/china Gn., was described as 

 Upunda, referred to Raphia by Walker and to Cleoeeris by Grote. This 

 has resulted in a duplication of the name in my list of Lepidoptera.
