Of this species, of which three specimens are contained in my 

 collection, I also know only the female ; the elytra are of rather 

 peculiar coloration, bluish anteriorly, greenish near the apex. 

 The species may be known by the nearly impunctatejiead and 

 thorax and the black tibiic and tarsi.

Abrostola, Ochs. 



Walker's second species of /I. oralis, Guen., is A. asclepiadis, 

 and (on turning up the reference to the register of accessions) I 

 find that it is a European specimen purchased from Becker. 

 Walker's carelessness in making certain of the localities recorded 

 in his catalogue has been a source of considerable confusion. 

 Iiuiuridia ahrostoloides is an Abrostola near A. urentis,
