10 Lord Walsingham's monograph of the genera 



American continent. If Folder's species was truly 

 American, it was probably obtained by Lindig from 

 Bogota, approximately in the same region where Bates 

 collected. 



Walker's description seems to apply to the insect 

 figured by Felder as Eretmocera ? sesioides, and it is 

 probable that two of the specimens in the British 

 Museum are rightly regarded as his types of lineata. 

 These two are distmctly and separately labelled " Sidney," 

 and as the other two specimens, to which Walker's 

 manuscript name Pegella (egeriella is attached, are also 

 both labelled " Australia," it seems impossible to account 

 for his error in stating that his types were collected by 

 Bates at Para. 



This paper contains descriptions of two new genera 

 and eight new species, and as it is intended as a mono- 

 graph, so far as it goes, the descriptions of the known 

 species are proposed to be republished, with such notes 

 and additions as may serve to facilitate their recognition.
