NOTES ON THE SYNONYMY OF NOOTUID MOTHS. 91 
that Col. Swinhoe should have overlooked an Acontiid when 
described as a Perigea. As we have both types there can be no 
question as to the identity of the species united above.

Pseudomicra marginalis.

North America. Types in Coll. B. M. 
My Rhodaria amata from Japan is an allied but quite distinct 
species. The type of Prothymia is certainly not congeneric with 
these species. It is altogether more robust, with thick curved 
palpi and coarsely ciliated antenne. 
Frouva, Grote. 
Fruva parvula. 
Xanthodes parvula, Walker, Lep. Het. Suppl. 3, p. 779 (1865).

It is a singular thing, seeing how variable this species is, that 
Walker should have selected a typical example of A. sulphuralis 
for his new species. 
EUBLEMMID. 
THE type of Thalpochares is evidently T’. inamena = arcuinna, 
which is typical Microphysa, Boisd. ; even the other species sub- 
sequently mentioned by Lederer cannot stand under his name. 
Herrich-Schiffer adopted for them the generic name T'othisa, 
Hubn., and Lederer’s argument that the latter genus only con- 
tained two species (the near affinity of which, by the way, nobody 
disputes) only tells against himself, since the addition of species 
to a genus does not constitute it one’s own property. Unfortunately
