in the Basin of the Amazons. 271 



One male, Jamiry, R. Madeira, May 26th, 1874, at 

 light; six females, Faro, April 11th ; Saviao, E. Jurua, 

 Nov. 10th ; R. Madeira, May 16th, 1874. 



Walker says of S. castellalis that it is hardly distinct 

 from S. ecelesialis, and that S. discessalis is very near to 

 S. disertalis. The only difference is in the size and 

 extent of the pale spots, owing to the greater or less 

 diffusion of the darker tints.

Two males. One from Obydos, March 8th, 1874 ; one 

 from R. Javary, Nov. 30th, 1874 : both at light. 



Guenee gives N. America for A. monstralis, Brazil and 

 N. America with a query for A. designalis. The A. 

 designalis in the British Museum Collection is from 

 Mexico, the A. monstralis from the United States and 

 St. Domingo. The only difference seems to be in the 

 narrower white costal streak of A. designalis, but this is 

 merely relative. 



Lederer, without any reason, substitutes the name 

 Stenurges for Agathodes, because Guenee had already 

 used Achatodes.

Mr. Butler established the genus Leucophotis for a 

 species of comparatively large size (49 mm.), L. jndcJira, 

 from Fiji. Th s appears to be distinctly related to the 

 genus Leucinodes by the neuration, the ground colour, 

 and the markings of the wings ; and notwithstanding 



^ The location of this species in the genus Leucopliotis I have 

 since found to be incorrect : it should probably form the type of a 

 separate genus intermediate between Apliytoccros, Meyr., and 

 Azochis, Walker,
