Loxopera deaurana, Peyr., would appear to be most nearly allied 

 to ferrur/inea, Wlsm., both species have pale ochreous cilia, and the 

 fore-wings suffused with orauge-ochreous. Some years since I deter- 

 mined as a possible variety of deaurana a specimen \_^ (812S) Mus. 

 Wlsm.] received from Milliere as francillana, with which it agreed in 

 colour, but the outer band was broken as described by Peyerimhoff. 

 Dr. Chapman has most generously presented his series of deaurana to 

 Lord Walsingham, and with 22 specimens before me I can see no 

 tendency to assume the coloration oifrancillonana. 



It is possible that this specimen represents yet another species, 

 and 1 shall hope shortly to make drawings of the genitalia of the 

 species of Loxopera yet unfigured.

Loxopera ferruyinea having veins 7 and 8 of the fore-wings 

 stalked, 7 to costa ; and o and 4 of the hind-wings remote at origin 

 agrees with the type of Loxopera, to which genus it was referred by 

 Lord AV'^alsiugham, and its suggested removal to Phalonia, Hb. 

 (= Cochylis, Tr.),is erroneous. — Jno. Hartley Burrant, June llth,
