CATALOGUE OF THE MACRO-LEPIDOPTEKA OF DERBYSHIRE. 117 



markings between veins 4 — 9, near, and parallel to, the hind margin ; another 

 simple row of simihxr markings about the middle of the inner margin. Hind 

 wing pinkish salmon-colour, pale golden yellow externally, veins at hind 

 margin pale golden yellow. Under side pale salmon-colour, suffused with 

 golden yellow externally ; costa of fore wing obscurely barred with brown. 

 Expanse of wings, 96 mm. ; length of body, 45 mm. 



Newcastle, Asli Island, Hunter Eiver, New South Wales; two 

 females. 



Closely allied to Charagia eximia, Sc, and C. scotti, Sc, but 

 readily recognisable by its more numerous and more diffused 

 markmgs. It agrees with the female of the former species 

 (described by me in Scott's 'Australian Lepidoptera,' vol. ii. p. 8, 

 1890) in outline, and does not possess the silvery spots beyond 

 the discoidal cell of the fore wing which are so conspicuous in 

 that species. 



The name Coreeha is the aboriginal equivalent for Ash Island. 



Charagia has recently been sunk in the old and extensive 

 genus Hepialas, of which the typical species is H. hiimiiU, Linn., 

 and Zelotgpia has been merged m the South African genus Lcio,- 

 but I propose to retain both these groups, as I consider them to 

 be convenient divisions affording characters of generic value; and 

 for the same reason I also propose to retain Trictena, lately 

 sunk in Pielus. In spite of recent revision, and still more recent 

 cataloguing, the species of these latter genera and their immediate 

 allies are in an extraordinary state of confusion ; but I need say 

 nothing further in regard to them here, as I am discussing their 

 synonymy, and giving my views of the value of Charagia, Zelo- 

 typia, and Trictena, in another place.
