On page 284 of the "Transactions of the Entomological Society 

 of London," 1884, Mr. Meyrick makes Scopula gavisalis (Walk.) 

 synonymic with this species. In the Melbourne Museum col- 

 lection there is a specimen of Mecyna rhodochrysa (Meyr.) 

 labelled in Walker's own liandivriting as Ebulea gavisalis, and 

 described by him in " Characters of Undescribed Lepidoptera," 

 p. 73, 1869, consequently Meyrick's name becomes synonymic ; 

 but it would be interesting to know if Scopula gavisalis and 

 Ebulea gavisalis are identical. I have not the description of the 

 first-named at hand, but I may say that the two species — i.e., 

 ptdchrinalis and gavisalis {rhodochrysa) — are superficially some- 

 what similar.
