Agrotera ferruginata, Moore, Descr. Indian Lep., Atk.,

 A male. 



This species is congeneric with vestigialis, but certainly 

 not an Agrotera, the labial palpi being quite different 

 from those of that genus, rostriform, obtuse, their third 

 joint very short, the maxillary palpi distinct, filiform. 



Ferruginata differs from vestigialis by its smaller size, 

 the regularly arched upper part of the second line of 

 fore wings ; the discal line of hind wings is also not 

 dissolved in a series of points, but nearly uninterrupted, 

 undulated.

 Guenee was probably unacquainted with Zeller's 

 previous and excellent description of the genus Zinckenia, 

 otherwise he would not have formed a new name. That
