 I have very little doubt that Sepp's figure is intended 

 to represent Felder's species. 



Walker erroneously referred the genus Rosema to the 

 DrepanulidcB; it belongs to the Notodontidce, being allied 

 to Phalera, Moresa and Cyj)luinta. 



Etobesa, Walker. 



118. Etobesa xylophasioides, n. sp. 



Allied to E. xylinoides, the wings slightly broader; 

 primaries above whitish, irrorated with reddish -brown ; 

 the veins, longitudinal lines between them, an irregular 

 oblique belt from outer border near apex to inner margin 

 towards the base, a submarginal series of hastate spots 

 and the greater part of the fringe red-brown ; apical third 

 of costal margin spotted with black; secondaries red- 

 brown, paler towards the base; frons and thorax white, 

 collar and abdomen red-broAvn ; under surface white, a 

 few vague red-brown streaks on the discs of the wings, 

 confined in the secondaries to a patch near the outer 

 border: expanse 1 inch 8 lines.

 This is also, in all probability, the P. megalops of Sepp. 

 Walker quoted the wrong figure from Cramer, and, con- 

 sequently, gave the name of P. simois, a species of Lima- 

 codid of the genus Bomhycocera, to this insect.
