SPIROCERA CORAS. 133 



Mi,€»nnt*hs, 



1 . Among the Psychids in the Museum there were three 

 small moths labelled: Oiketicus Coras Cram. Two of these, 

 a male and a female from Surinam , are very old and from 

 the collection of Mr. Raye van Breukelerwaard (these are 

 inter alia most probably the specimens described and figu- 

 red by Cramer himself in his Papillons exotiques, IV, p. 

 46; pi. 312, fig. A, from the collection of Mr. W. van 

 der Meulen) ; the Brd , from Brazil , is from the collection 

 of Mr. van Eyndhoven. — Authors have placed this species 

 in different genera, but the neuratiou of the wings and 

 other characters show that it belongs to the Cossina sensu 

 Herrich-Schafier , and without doubt to the genus Spirocera 

 Boisd. 



2. In the «Notes from the Leydeu Museum" (vol. Ill, 

 pag. 89) I published the description of a new Psychid , 

 Acanthopsyche Ritsemae. — The three specimens of this 

 species (all males) were in a bad condition , and therefore 

 I did not prepare the veins , the palps , etc. Having obtai- 

 ned however by exchange one of these specimens, I care- 

 fully examined it and found the species not being a Ps?/c/i^■c/, 

 but belonging to the Liparidae (vide: Observations syno- 

 nymiques relatives a des Psy chides , etc. par F. J. M. Hey- 

 laerts , Compte-rendu Soc. ent. Beige , 5 Janv. 1884). It 

 is the male sex of Perina nuda F. == Perina hasalis Walk. 

 cT = Euproctis antica var. c. Walk. Q = Stilpnotia suh- 

 tincta Walk. 9 =^ Euproctis comhinata Walk. Q (vide F. 

 Moore, Lepidoptera of Ceylon, part VII, p. 94; pi. 114, 

 fig. 1, cTj 1«5 9)1^1 larva). 



Breda, March 1884.
