(505) 4. Diacrisia species (?) 



A single male caught at Stanleyville, April 2, 1915, which agrees 

 with specimens in my collection which are labelled cequalis Walker, 

 which Hampson has sunk as a synonym of maculosa (Stoll) . I compared 

 my specimens with Walker's type, and do not regard them as being the 

 same as maculosa (Stoll), but for the present do not wish to dogmatize 

 and leave the insect unnamed.
