NOTES ON THE SYNONYMY OF NOCLUID MOTHS. 189 
As I mentioned in my introductory remarks, the details of 
my arrangement of the genera of Noctue are subject to altera- 
tion, as I acquire more knowledge of the group, and I should 
judge that this may be the case with all arrangements. 
Eublemma hemirhoda. 
Micra hemirhoda, Walker, Lep. Het. Suppl. 3, p. 799 (1865). 
Anthophila roseifascia, Walker, 1. c., p. 803 (1865). 
Java and New Guinea. Types in Coll. B. M. 
It is possible, and even probable, that the following group 
may belong to the Deltoids, in which case it would stand close 
to Mestleta. In cases where the structural characters are almost 
identical in every particular, it is impossible, without seeing the 
larve, to be certain of assigning these little moths to their 
rightful groups: if their larve are semi-loopers they cannot be 
associated with the Kublemmide, the larve of which are of the 
typical. Noctuid form characteristic of Guenée’s Trifide, and 
therefore must necessarily follow them. This group, which 
structurally agrees with Mestleta in the fact that its posterior 
tibiz do not exceed the femora in length, whereas in Hublemma 
the difference is very marked, may be called Humestleta, with 
** Thalpochares”’ patula, Morrison, as type: this genus also 
includes 7’. nuda, Chr., Anthophila virginea, Guen., A. vestalis, 
Butl., and A. ragusana, Freyer. 
Eumestleta patula. 
Thalpochares patula, Morrison. (See Grote’s Check-List, p. 
37, n. 1042.) 
Tarache patruelis, Grote (on label). . 
Anthophila flammicincta, Walker, Lep. Het. Suppl. 3, p. 801 
(1865). 
North and South America. Coll. B. M. 
Grote’s and Walker’s types are in the Museum ; the former 
is admitted by its describer to be a synonym of LH. patula. 
PALINDIIDA. 
In his revision of this family M. Constant Bar has done 
wrong to include Dyomyx, Guen.; the form of the wings and 
palpi in the latter genus proves it to belong to the Pseudo- 
deltoids of Guenée. 
The genus Hulepidotis, Hubn., takes the green-coloured 
species of the ilyrias group, viz., EH. ilyrias, Cr., viridissima, Bar, 
chloris, Bar, and allies. Nearest to Hulepidotis come Palindia 
dominicata and allies, viz., P. argyritis, rectimargo, persimilis, 
candida, and santarema: these are followed by the typical 
Palindie, P. julianata and allies, amongst which I have to record 
the following synonyms ;—
