216 Mr. E. Meyrick on Pyralidina from 



Queensland; two specimens (coll. Lucas). Also from 

 Borneo, China, Ceylon, and Mauritius. 



Plconectusa parallela, Meyr. 



Botys horatius, Butl., Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1886, 

 430, is a synonym of this. 



Pleonectusa modestalis, Ld. 



Erilita modestalis, Ld., 426, pi. xvi., 3 ; Pleonectusa 

 chalinota, Meyr., Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1886, 

 233. 



Lederer founded the genus Erilita on this species, 

 distinguishing it by a supposed peculiarity in the origin 

 of vein 5 of the fore wings, which I am unable to 

 perceive. I therefore think the genus may be rightly 

 suppressed. It was in consequence of this supposed 

 distinction that I failed at first to identify his species. 



Cnaphalocrocis, Ld. 



Cnaphalocrocis medinalis, Gn. 



Salbia medinalis, Gn., 201 ; Botys rutilalis, Walk., 

 665; B. iolealis, ib., 666 ; B. nurscialis, ib., 724; 

 B. acerrimalis, ib., Suppl., 1449 ; Cnaphalocrocis 

 iolinalis, Ld., pi. xii., 7. 



Mr. Moore has identified Guenee's description of Salbia 

 medinalis with this species ; and, although this pre- 

 supposes some inaccuracy in the description, Guenee 

 described a single female only, perhaps not in good 

 condition, and I am disposed to regard the identification 

 as probably correct. Mr. Moore also alleges that 

 Walker's nurscialis is a distinct species, without giving 

 reasons ; in this case there is some colour for the suppo- 

 sition, as in the Australian insect there is a more or less 

 yellowish hind-marginal streak which seems obsolete 

 elsewhere, but the point is variable, and without further 

 evidence I prefer to regard it as a local form only. 

 I have not, however, examined the neuration of the 

 extra- Australian form.
