I am also indebted to Mr. Tryon for a reminder of this 

 likewise omitted reference. 



Boisduval remarks that specimens of this species {}h/lax) 

 .are wrongly named ('unni)t<iJiami in the B. M. collection, and 

 that the true Cnnnuu/hawi vf&s not contained therein at the time 



■ of his inspection. Walker's ('un)iin<ih(tii I will doubtless be 

 more correctly treated as a synonym of this species. 



Genus: MACKOGLOSSA, Orlis.

In our specimens the tranverse white band of primaries is 

 almost obsolete ; in a specimen I liave from the N.Hebrides 

 the band is clearly apparent, but presents an intermediate grade 

 between the type, as described by Boisduval, and the Australian 



■ examples. 



Our insect has been recently described by T. P. Lucas in 



the Queenshindcr newspaper as a new species, under the name of 



Liiicata. 



Sub-Family— CHyEROCAMPIN.E.
