This seems to me to be allied to Felder's Bryoptcra 

 panteata, which is not a Bri/optera ; the species of the 

 latter genus are nearer to Hiipockvoma, and perhaps 

 congeneric with Gazeiia, Wlk. 



I may note here that Tephrosia marmoraria is Brij- 

 optcni couvallata of Guenee, and Tephrosia incongniaria 

 is Bryopteni canitiata ; thus two more of Walker's 

 species are disposed of.

The smaller form seems to be more numerous than 

 the larger.
