 child ; a very variable insect. 



Xylopteryx brunneata. 

 Xylopteryx hrunneata, Warr., Nov. Zool., ix, p. 523 (1902). 



1 ^, 1 ^, Curepipe, Mauritius. 1 $, Madagascar. 



The type, a female from Great Comoro, is in coll. Roths- 

 child ; it is very doubtfully distinct from serratao'ia, Walker; 

 the Mauritius examples are not typically of either form, but 

 the Madagascar female is identical with Warren's type. 



Xylopteryx cephalotes. 



Scodiona cei^halotes, Walker, Proc. N. H. Soc. Glasg., 1 (ii), 

 p. 376, pi. 7, f. 14 (1869). 



1 $, Congo (type). 



This is a very curious insect, and in its barred markings 

 beneath is unlike any other species in this Family ; the 

 example is not in good condition and has lost its abdomen; 

 when more are obtained for examination a new genus will 

 probably be necessary for it, it certainly is not a Scodiona ; 

 I put it into this genus tentatively.
