Type Cassandra Meyr. I refer here also imogena But!., and 

 most of the species attributed by me hitherto to Xesfocasis, as 

 cliromatiirga and its allies, since I recognise that the type of 

 Xestocasin, with special leg-characters and different form of fore- 

 wings, is properly placed in the Heliodlnidae.
