65. Parasemia gigantata ? 
Macaria gigantata, Guenée, Phal. u. p. 78, n. 1017 
(1857). 
Serpa, 13th February, 1875. 
Very near to Semiothisa gentilata of Felder. 
66. Parasemia distans, nN. 8. 
Phalena notata (part), Cramer (nec Clerck), Pap. Exot. 
iv. pl. 871, fig. @ (1782). 
Prainha, 14th January, 1873. 
As neither of Cramer’s figures represent Clerck’s 
species they will both require to be renamed ; it is 
possible, however, that the insect represented by fig. 
may already have been described by Guenée, Walker, 
Snellen, or Felder, and therefore, for the present, I pass 
over it. Clerck’s figure (‘Icones,’ pl. 6, fig. 11), repre- 
sents a white species crossed by three pale yellow stripes, 
which commence in blackish spots along the costa of 
primaries; the group of dark spots bounding the third 
stripe on the primaries is not massed upon the lower 
radial interspace, and the ground colour beyond this 
stripe is equally white with the rest of the upper surface, 
whereas in P. distans the wings are pale stramineous, 
with the external area sordid or testaceous. 
67. Parasemia subitaria. 
Macaria subitaria, Walker, Cat. Lep. Het. xxiii. p. 910,
