348 Mr. A. G. Butler on the 
to the genus Semiothisa (regarding as type of that genus 
the S. fasciata of Fabricius) :—Macaria eleonora, Cramer 
=8. fasciata, M. nora, Walker, M. neonora, Walker, 
M. xanthonora, Walker, M. myandaria, Walker, and 
perhaps M. elvirata of Guenée, and Azelina metagonaria 
(which are probably conspecific). 
M. bisignata, Walker (which has no character in 
common with Packard’s Semiothisa bisignata), 1s appa- 
rently a Molybdophora, although the want of Hubner’s 
M. concinnaria unfortunately prevents my comparing 
the neuration, and, consequently, I can only be guided 
by similarity of form. The Semiothisa divergentata ot 
Snellen appears to me to be much more like some of 
the forms associated under Acidalia, although in some 
respects it is more like some of the species associated 
under T'ephrina, such as 7’. divisaria, deerraria, &¢.; to 
the latter group I shall provisionally refer it and a 
nearly-allied species, which I here describe :— 
FIDONIIDA. 
TEPHRINA, Guenée. 
81. Tephrina lucinda, u. s. 
Nearly allied to 7’. divergentata* ; smaller; upper 
surface very pale stramineous, almost cream-colour ; 
wings speckled with dark brown, and crossed in the 
central area by two subparallel slender dark brown lines, 
beyond which the ground colour is more densely speckled 
and yellower; a very slender black marginal line ; 
primaries with a third very irregular brown line near 
the base, and a black spot on the second median inter- 
space; under surface brighter in colour, yellower; an 
arched bisinuate brown line beyond the outer or discal 
line on all the wings; also two black spots beyond this 
line ; otherwise as above; the outer margin angulated 
slightly at the third median branch ; expanse of wings, 
11—13 lines.
