64 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
Tarache tropica. 
3 2 Acontia tropica, Guenée, Noct. ii. p. 217, n. 988 (1852). 
? A. maculosa, Walker, Lep. Het. xii. p. 795, n. 35 (1857). 
3 A. bipunctata, Walker, I. c., p. 798, n. 41 (1857). 
Java, Formosa, China, Ceylon, India. Coll. B. M. 
Singularly enough, in this species the examples from Java 
are larger than those from India; the latter are, as a rule, a 
little brighter in colouring. 
Tarache meridionalis. 
2 Acontia signifera, Walker, Lep. Het. xii. p. 796, n. 87 (1857). 
3d A. meridionalis, Walker, l.c., Suppl. 3, p. 785 (1865). 
? A. scanda, Felder, Reise der Nov. Lep. 4, pl. eviil. fig. 27. 
North and South India. Type in Coll. B. M. 
The name of A. signifera had already been employed for an 
Indian species by Walker (p. 798, n. 31). 
Tarache wmbuta. 
? Hrastria imbuta, Walker, Lep. Het. Suppl. 3, p. 794 (1865). 
Acontia acerba, Felder, Reise der Nov. Lep. 4, pl. eviii. fig. 25. 
3 A. inda, Felder, l.c., fig. 23. 
N. India, Dharmsala, Rangoon, Ceylon. Type in Coll. B. M. 
Tarache detrita. 
2 Acontia detrita, Butler, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1886, p. 401, n. 32. 
3 A. clarissa, Butler, l.c., p. 402, n. 33. 
Australia. Types in Coll. B. M. 
Tarache binominata. 
3 Acontia costalis, Walker, Lep. Het. Suppl. 3, p. 784 (1865). 
South India. Type in Coll. B. M. 
Walker had already given the name of Acontia costalis to a 
very similar female insect from St. Domingo (see Lep. Het. xi. 
p- 787, n. 13), so that the Indian species must necessarily be 
renamed. 
Tarache signifera. 
Acontia signifera, Walker, Lep. Het. xi. p. 793, n. 31 (1857). 
A. subfica, Walker, J. c., Suppl. 5, p. 1964 (1866). 
Japan, China, India. Type in Coll. B. M. 
Walker duplicated the name Acontia signifera on p. 796. The 
latter, however, as already shown, falls to A. meridionalis. 
Acontia biplaga, Walk. (Lep. Het. xii. p. 795, n. 34), altered 
to A. biplagiata, as having been previously used (Suppl. 8, p. 781), 
but unnecessarily, as it was already redescribed on the previous 
page as Huphasia subapicalis ; also Acontia pulchra (Lep. Het. 
xii. p. 797, n. 89) and A. bimacula (Lep. Het. xii. p. 796, n. 38) 
are none of them Acontiide, but Heliothide, and belong to the 
genus Leocyma.
