Margarodes niqropunctalis, Bremer, Lep. Ost.-Sibir., 

 ■p. 67, pi. 6, f. 5 (1864). 



Margaronia neomera, Butler, Illustr., ii., p. 57. pi. 39, 

 f. 5 (1879). 



Perhaps Boisduval's quinqucpunctalis, ' Faune de 

 Madagascar,' Bourbon et Maurice, p. 117, pi. 16, f. 5, 

 Guenee, 'Reunion,' p. 65, is also the same as Bremer's 

 species, and then the oldest name ; but I strongly 

 suspect nigropunctalis only to be a variety of unionalis. 

 Strongly-marked specimens of the former, in fact, look 

 very different, but in others {neomera, Butler) with 

 small dark spots, only the dark line parallel to the 

 hind margin remains as a distinctive character, and 

 this line, too, is very faint in some specimens. I did 

 not find any structural differences.

[* This appears to be the same as the species identified by 

 Swinhoe with Margaronia marthesiusalis, Walk., Cat., xviii., 

 p. 531 (1859), and agrees with the description of it. Margaronia 

 hilaralis, Walk., I. c, p. 5o2, may also be the same. — H, J. E.]
