8 Lord Walsingham's monograph of the genera 



It remains to refer to two species which have been 

 placed by their authors in one of the genera here mono- 

 graphed, but which I have ventured to exclude : — 



1. ? Staintonia Julgens, Erschoff, Hor. Soc. Ent. Eoss., 

 XIL, 347, 1876. 



The description is wholly inadequate to connect it 

 with the genus Eretmocera, or with the group of genera 

 to which it belongs ; indeed, its shorter palpi and broader 

 hind wings serve at once to distinguish it from them. 

 It probably agrees with the genus Lepidotarphius, Pryer.

Of this species I have specimens in my own collection; 

 it is almost certainly a true Butalis. 



The changes here suggested in the generic position of 

 certain species, and in the synonymy of the genera, 

 require a few words of explanation. 



Tincegeria has been restricted to species of which the 

 antennae are thickly clothed on the basal half only ; 

 these have the hind wings rather widened and almost 

 entirely transparent. Snellenia latipes, originally placed 

 in Tincegeria by Walker, differs from his type, T. ochracea, 

 in its antennae being clothed nearly to the ends, in its 

 narrower hind wings with nearly parallel margins, and 

 in the strongly-scaled spurs of the hind legs. For these 

 reasons it has been transferred to the new genus 

 Snellenia, with which it more nearly agrees. It is 

 possible that at some future time, when more material 

 may become available, it may be convenient to form a 

 new genus for its reception. 



Snellenia lineata, also placed by Walker in Tinageria, 

 agrees very closely in structure with S. coccinea, the type 

 of Snellenia, but differs in its longer and more slender 

 palpi ; it differs from Tincegeria ochracea in the same 

 particulars as S. latipes, with the exception of the 

 strongly-scaled spurs. 



After examining, in all details, the structure of 

 Arauzona basalis, Walker, I am unable to discover any
