Moschler's type, a male, came from Aburi on the Gold 

 Coast. Though he called it a Euproctis the venation of his 

 figure is that of a Leucoma ; and as his description corre- 

 sponds exactly with the female Leucoma from Eb Urru I 

 feel sure my identification is correct, though the localities 

 are very far apart ; but we have many instances of East 

 and West Africa having the same forms of moths.
