GENUS AMAZELA. (Apina, Walk.) 



The first species of this " new " genus A. Calisto, Boiscl., 

 is Ajyina Callisto, Walk., who describes two other species 

 Feisthamelii, subsequently referred to Agarista, and Anrjasii 

 also from Van Diemen's Land and Australia. Boisduval's 

 second species, Ecliionc from S. Africa, may be new ; but 

 the locality renders it improbable that it should belong to 

 the same oenus. 



GENUS AGARISTA. (Fhaloimickji h^win.) 



Twenty-one species admitted (exclusive of Megisto, after- 

 wards placed with doulit in Eusemia), some new. As Bois- 

 duval's knowledge of everything pul)lished up to within the 

 last fifteen or twenty years is better than that of most 

 other authors, and little has been published lately on this 

 genus, he has only overlooked three species Casuarincc, 

 Scott, Micacea & Hesperoides, Walk., (C. L. H. vii p. 1772). 

 The two latter species probably do not belong to this genus, 

 and have also been overlooked by Walker himself, who has 

 described a second species of Agarista under the name of 

 Micacea, (C. L. H. xxxi p. 48). I therefore propose the 

 name of ^halcenoides Oeramensis for the latter species. 

 Noct. Bamhucina, Esch., should have been quoted under 

 Lyncea, Cram. 



GENUS EUSEMIA. 



Forty-nine species described, two dou1)tful as lielonging 

 to the genus ; and three others are referred to by Bois- 

 duval as unknown to him. He describes several species 

 as new, but has overlooked Walker's E. Tcrminatus, 

 Connexa, Mollis, Bijii.gata, Chrysospila, Butlcri and 

 Pardalina, and Moore's Funehris and Albimarginata. It 

 is almost certain that some of his supposed new species 

 will prove to be synonymous with some of these; but in so 

 large a genus it would l)e hazardous to venture an opinion 

 on their identity, from comparison of description only. 

 P)oisduvars Flavociliata is however very close to Moore's 

 Albimarginata, chiefly difiering in the colour of the border.
