ERIOCERA HILPA. 13 



Another specimen received from the same source, per- 

 haps the cf , — but of which the abdomen is broken off, 

 — has only the above mentioned white spot beyond the 

 middle. 



E. lemostola Walk, (Proc. Linn. Soc. Lond. I. 6. 5), 

 from Singapore, seems to be closely related to this species 

 but differs in having a white tip to the wings. As we 

 have seen in the foregoing species , this character is not 

 constant. E. leucostola may perhaps be the same species 

 as E. Hilpa.
