THE BEITISH MUSEUM, 41 



Mythimna? Littera, Guen. 

 The specimen is evidently Guenee's type, and, as 

 I have long suspected, is my Pseudolimacodes 

 Niveicostatus, an insect which is certainly not a 

 Ilytldmna, and must l3e known in future as Fseu- 

 doUmacodcs Littera. It belongs, most probably, to 

 the Fasciatce. 



Mythimna Decolor, Walh. 

 A discoloured specimen, apparently belonging to 

 Cosmia Infumata. 



HytMmna Suhporphyria, ^Yallc. 

 The specimen is broken, and not, I think, a 

 Mythimna. It may be found to be an Agrotis, when 

 the tibiee are examined. I do not recognize the 

 species. There are no markings ; the median lines 

 vasue, broad, darker shades. 



Mythimna Contraria, Wallc. 

 This is Mamestra Plcta, Harris. 



Mythimna Tripars, Walh. 

 'Not Vi Mythimna, and probably an ^^ro^/s. Not 

 known to me. 



Mythimna Vetusta, Walk. 

 The specimen is a much rubbed Agrotis ; one of 

 the white species, perhaps MvrcEmila. Prom these 

 identifications the student will recognize the fact, 

 that it is simply impossible to use Mr. Walker's 

 work without the specimens at hand to find out
