" Pupa in loose cocoon among rubbish, or just under 

 surface of ground. 



" Imago in March and April. Comes freely to light. 

 Common about Valparaiso." — T. E. 



22. Ormiscodes crinita. 



Bomhyx crinita, Blanchard, in Gay's ' Chili,' Zool. 



pi. 4, fig. 4 (1854). 

 Ormiscodes cinnamomea, Blanchard (nee Feisthamel), 



I.e., 7, p. 61, n. 2 (1854). 



A pair ; Valparaiso. 



The 0. cinnamomea of Feisthamel is an allied but 

 quite distinct species, identical with Walker's Dirphia 

 plana ; the synonymy will therefore stand as follows : — 



Ormiscodes cinnamomea. 



Bomhyx cinnamomea, Feisthamel, Mag, de Zool. 



2e ser. pi. 22, fig. 2 (1839). 

 Dirphia plana, Walker, Cat. Lep. Het. G, p. 1362, 



n. 22 (1855). 



Catocephala, Blanch. 



23. Catocephala marginata. 



Ormiscodes marginata, Philippi, Linnaea Entomologica, 

 xiv. p. 283, n. 19 (1860). 



A single male. 



Labelled as C. riifosignata of Blanchard, of which it 

 may possibly be no more than a well-marked variety ; 

 it, however, has much paler and whiter wings, with less 

 strongly defined markings, and with the pale spot at the 

 end of the cell of primaries yellow, instead of white ; in 

 Mr. Edmonds's example the inner greyish band of the 

 secondaries is almost wholly obliterated. 



The succeeding species, which is represented by a 

 single female, is undoubtedly Blanchard's insect ; it 

 answers well to his figure which represents the same 

 sex. 



The Amydona hwmeralis of Walker (Lej). Het. 6, 

 p. 1413) is an allied species to C. marginata, and not a 

 true Pliricodia, as 1 formerly supposed.
