fj-g NOTES ON Al STHAI.IAN UOMIIYLIID-E. 



The brown portion of the wing has the base and band 



across the middle hyaline. tendens, Walk, 



The brown portions of the wings contain no band or 

 spots, but the base of the wing is hyaline, and 

 the brown portion pale. qnadripeunis, Walk. 



The wings with the exception of the white tips are 

 wholly dark brown; a rather small species. 



pvR'argoitata, Macleay. 

 (fof^ciata, Fabr.. according to my description, agrees 

 with privargentata, Macl.) 



The wings like those of prieargentata, but not so 



dark; a much larger species. stria, Walk, 



9. Hyaline portion of the wing without any brown spot.«. 10. 

 Hyaline portion of the wings with brown spots. 11. 



10. Wings quite hyaline, except for narrowly brown 



costa. Kobriciila, Walk, 



Wings faintly tinged with brown, costa moi-e broadly 



brown than in i^ohricitlu; rather large species. 



sobria, Walk. 

 Costal half of wing suffused with brown; very small 



species. partita, Walk. 



11. Abdomen very broad, with side-tufts of black and 



white hairs; wings with foremargins brown, and 

 brown diffused spots below; large species. 



patida, Walk. = plana, Walk.=:«?Hp/a, Walk. 

 Abdomen narrow, without side-tufts of black and 

 white hairs; wings with foremargins broadly 

 brown, and four small brown spots below; 

 medium sized species. 



ycomeirica, Macq. = o/).s-r ?(»•«, Walk. 

 The following species I am not at present able to 

 identify: — C. hicolor, Macq., and C. fidviprs. Bigot. Bigot's 

 Lijijira ruhrifera is probably a Comptofiia." 



ObHervationx. — This part of White's manuscript is ex- 

 ceedingly valuable, in so far as it elucidates various descrip- 

 tions previously found too inadequate- to allow for a determina- 

 tion of the species. White's group C'ow/j^o.su/ is equival.Mit to 

 my Lowa/n'/'fl', under which I have placed it. I have divided 

 the group into three genera, all of which need adju:^ting. 

 My Lotiiatia siibscnc.r is now referred to Coviptoxia proper.
