NOTES ON THE SYNONYMY OF NOCTUID MOTHS. 141 
Xanthodes ? arcuata is probably an Avitia, and belongs to the 
Herminiide; and Acontia ?? reselloides, Walk., is a Sarrothripa. 
Thalpochares orba, Grote, is a Hypenid ; it is identical with 
Walker’s Hydrelia? latipalpis. 
Micra tineoides, Walk., is a Lithosiid allied to Sorocostia 
vetustella. 
_ Of reputed Acontiidz hitherto not mentioned A. discalis is a 
Tineid. A. discoidalis = venustula is a Spragueia, as also is A. 
decisa. A. olivacea = Anthophila nebulifera is a genus of 
EKublemmide near to Hublemma, but I think distinct. A.? nigri- 
palpis is so much worn, rubbed, and faded that it is impossible to 
be certain of its genus; it is an Acontiid, so far as can be judged 
by its venation, and may be Hiccodes dosaroides of Moore, which 
it resembles in general colouring and size ; but the markings are 
almost entirely obliterated. Tarache destituta is an Ozarba. 
Under Frastria Walker described two Hadenids,—H. varia = 
Oligia festivoides, Guén., and H.? basistigma, which is also an 
Oligia.

Kusiemma, Hiibn. 
Eublemma rosita. 
Micra rosita, Guenée, Noct. ii. p. 245, n. 1036 (1852). 
Micra derogata, Walker, Lep. Het. xii. p. 825, n. 17 (1857). 
Australia, Formosa, Ceylon, Bombay. Coll. B. M. 
The following group differs somewhat in character from 
typical Hublemma, but appears not to differ structurally: it 
consists of H. pannonica from Europe, secta, leonata, hemirhoda 
(and two other undetermined species in the Museum series), from 
Java, New Guinea, Australia, &e. 
* Tt is doubtful whether this genus is actually distinct from Microphysa ; 
in any case it is a convenient name for a group.
