Is not Cramer’s Phalena croceata congeneric with this 
species ? ) 
Maaipa, Walker. 
12. Magida aurantiaca, nu. 8. 
Bright orange-fulvous, mottled with ferruginous ; 
primaries with the central area rather paler; a slightly 
irregular ferruginous stripe from the middle of the costal 
margin of primaries to just below the middle of the 
abdominal margin of secondaries; primaries with the 
costal margin striated, and spotted at the origin of the 
transverse stripes with black ; two closely appproximated 
irregular red-brown discal stripes, the external border 
also brownish and mottled with black; fringe black ; 
secondaries with a submarginal ferruginous stripe, very 
slender, excepting towards the costal margin; fringe 
black at apex, otherwise yellow; antenne and a band 
across the back of the head grey ; under surface clear 
golden yellow, the markings bright sienna-red instead 
of ferruginous ; otherwise as above; expanse of wings, 
83 lines. 
Fonteboa, Rio Solimoes, 17th November, 1874. 
The genus Magida is nearly allied to Melinodes.

Serpa, 22nd April, 1874. 
It seems scarcely possible that Guenée can have 
looked at Hubner’s figures of this species; the moth is 
so utterly unlike an Aspilates that even Mr. Walker quotes 
it with a note of interrogation.
