'-^<i Mr. B. Meyrick on Pyralidina from 



Ischnurges illustralis, Ld. 



Ischnurges illustralis, Ld., 418, pi. xv., 12 ; Nesolocha 

 autolitha, Mevr., Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1886, 

 240. 



Newcastle, New South Wales ; one specimen (Australian 

 Museum). I think there can be no doubt that Lederer's 

 quotation of New Zealand as a locality for this species 

 is quite erroneous, and should be struck out ; probably 

 there is here, as in some other cases, a confusion with 

 New Guinea. 



Pessocosma, Meyy. 



Pessocosma iolealis, Walk. 



Also from Toowoomba, Queensland ; Albany and 

 Geraldton, West Australia: in May. .Tune, November, 

 and December. 



Archeenis, Meyr. 



Archernis (?) octoguttalis, Feld. 



Also from Cape York, Queensland ; one specimen 

 (coll. Macleay). In this specimen (also a female) the 

 middle costal spot is divided into a moderate costal and 

 small discal spot ; the yellow hind-marginal band is 

 narrower. Recorded also from Ceylon. I consider that 

 Pyralis smaragdina, Butl., Ann. Mag. N. H., 1875, 411, 

 from South Africa, is a synonym of this species ; 

 Pelder's name dates from the same year, but is appa- 

 rently the earlier. 



Semioceros, Meyr. 



Semioceros mesochlora, Meyr. 



Deuterarcha mesochlora, Meyr., Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 

 1884, 313 ; Endotricha annuliqera, Butl., Trans. 

 Ent. Soc. Lond., L886, 427. 



In the male which I originally described the antenna! 

 lull was abraded, and therefore unnoticed: since then 

 Mr. Barnard has sent down numerous specimens which 

 enable me to correct my error. The antenna 1 of the 

 male arc bent once only, in the middle, with a small 

 simple tuft of scales on back immediately before bend.
