9. Omiodes hodyta, n. 8. 
?, 17—20 mm. Differs from O. monogona, especially by the 
different form of the second line, which in fore wings is somewhat 
more curved on upper half, projection inwards beneath discal 
mark deeper and more rectangular, thence slightly curved but 
nearly perpendicular to inner margin, whilst in O. monogona it is 
rather strongly oblique; in hind wings slightly sinuate inwards on 
lower half; cilia of fore wings whitish-fuscous. It is also a con- 
siderably smaller insect, and smoother-looking. Possibly the males 
may show more pronounced differences. 
Two specimens.

Botys localis, Butl., Ent. Mo. Mag., xv., 271. 
3 2. 17—23 mm. Antennal ciliations one-third. Abdomen 
light fuscous, segmental margins whitish. Fore wings light 
fuscous ; a dark fuscous line from one-fourth of costa to one-third 
of inner margin, angulated in middle, upper half indistinct, lower 
half well-marked; a dark fuscous dot in dise at two-fifths, and a 
transverse-linear mark beyond middle; a dark fuscous partially 
indistinct line, followed by a band slightly paler than ground 
colour, from two-thirds of costa to three-fifths of inner margin, 
upper half unevenly but moderately strongly curved outwards, the 
paler band followed by a somewhat darker suffusion ; an inter- 
rupted blackish hind-marginal line ; cilia whitish-fuscous, with a 
dark fuscous line. Hind wings light fuscous; an obscure darker 
transverse discal mark at one-third; a cloudy darker fuscous line 
from three-fifths of costa to inner margin above anal angle, rather 
bent in middle, beneath this rather irregular; a dark fuscous hind- 
marginal line; cilia whitish, with a dark fuscous line. 
Seven specimens.

Hymenia fascialis, Cr., Butl., Ent. Mo. Mag., xvii, 9. 
This species occurs now throughout the tropical and 
warmer temperate regions of the whole world, yet, in 
my experience, always in the immediate neighbourhood 
of civilisation, frequenting waste weedy ground in or 
near towns, especially on the coast. I think there can
