Lepidoptera from Ma(hi(jascar. 3*J3 



■with fGiTiiginous inucr edge, aud only tlircc of tlie abdoiuiual 

 segments are taicnij at the sides ; the anal tuft also has a ferru- 

 ginous border ; about half of the specimens seen by me have a 

 transverse bar of snow-white scales along the anterior margin of 

 the last segment. 



Deilepliila bi</iittata, Walker. 



The collection contained a good series of this handsome moth ; 

 hitherto we have only possessed the type, a damaged $ example 



Nephile charoba, Kirby. 



A very variable species, the Avings being of all sorts of shades 

 between rust-red and dark smoky-brown. 



Triptogon meander, Boisd. 



A male uf this very rare species, unfortunately somewhat 

 damaged ; the form of the primaries is somewhat aberrant for a 

 Triptogon, so that eventually a genus may have to be erected 

 for its reception. 



Bizoiic ainatura, Walker. 



B. hovii of Guenee is identical with this species. 



Soziiza marginata, Gueriu. 

 This is one cif the prettiest of the Mascareno Lithosuds. 



Borocera iiiadaga><cariensis, Boisd. 



There cannot be a (piestion but that B. Cajani is tlio same 

 species; Jioisduval's figure is hideed rough, but it is just 

 recognisaljle. 



C/jligraiiiina contirrhans, AValker. 



C. rahtJiidoii of Lucas is happily identical with this species, so 

 that the latter name may be expunged. 



Ophiode.^ Jtottentota, Guenee. 

 This agrees with S. African exami)les.
