210 Mr. E. Meyrick on Pyralidina from 



Pachyarches, Ij<1. 



Pachyarches psittacalis, Hb. 



Margaronia maliferalis, Walk., Suppl., 1363, is a 

 synonym of this. Also from Townsville, Queensland. 



Glyphodes, Cm. 



Glyphodes tyres, Cr. 



Pyralis tyres, Cr., 2(53 ; Pygospila tyresalis, Gn., 312. 



Port Darwin, North Australia ; several specimens 

 (coll. Macleay). Also from India and Ceylon. Lederer 

 follows Guenee in maintaining a separate genus, Pygo- 

 spila, for this species ; but he does not give any sufficient 

 point of distinction from Glyphodes, only alleging diffe- 

 rences in the anal tuft which I find inappreciable ; I 

 have therefore suppressed it. 



Glyphodes conjunctalis, Walk. 



Glyphodes conjunctalis, Walk., Suppl., 1357; G. acto- 

 rionalis, Ld., pi. xiv., 4 (nee Walk.) ; G. Ledereri,
