After I had nearly finished this work, I received Hamp- 

 sons paper on the fam. Sahaliadce and have also been able 

 to look through the collection of Striphnopterygidse in the 

 Museum fiir Naturkunde in Berlin. 



It may here only be remarked, that the peculiar new 

 genus S]iirnmiox:)sis Hamps. belongs to the Strijihnopteryginre 

 and must be placed between Poloma and FhyUalia. It diifers 

 from Foloma by having vein 8 of hind wing approximated 

 to 7 beyond the cell, from FhyllaUa by having 4 spurs on 

 the hind tibice and from both by the presence of vein 10 

 of före wing and by the shape of the cell of hind wing. 



j>Dreatm himaculata Dew. agrees in neuration very nearly 

 with Camerunia and differs essentially only by the lower 

 and middle discocellulars of före wing forming together an 

 even curve, from the middle of which vein 5 is emitted.
