solecism. The species is a good one, but it is not a true Tinea\ 

 it belongs to a new genus allied to Tinea^ but distinguished 

 from it (as correctly indicated by Mr. Rosenstock) by the 

 antennae, which are as long as the fore wings. I propose for 

 this genus the name Chrysoryctis ; to it may be referred also 

 (Ecophora m-uptella^yV a\k. (nee ZeW.) ,a.nd Incu7'va7-ia purella , 

 Walk., and I have several other species. 



Adela chrysolamprella, Ros. This appears to be Nemotois 

 sparsellics, Walk., of which Adela laiirella, Newm., is also a 

 synonym ; it is a true Nemotois^ not an Adela. 



Hypertro-plia divitiosa, Walk. This was not overlooked by 

 me, nor again is it a distinct species (I have com.pared Walker's 

 tjpe) ; it is identical with desumptana, Walk., of which (as 

 I have noted elsewhere) tortriciformis, Gn., is the oldest 

 name. 



Eulechria leucopsina^ Eos. This is a synonym of Pelto- 

 phora atn'collisj Meyr. 



Q^copJiora apertella, Walk. I have not seen a specimen of 

 what Dr. Lucas sent ; but I have no hesitation in saying that 

 it was not the species named, which is a yellow species of 

 (Ecopliora^ peculiar to New Zealand ; probably the insect 

 intended is not a true G^cophora. 



PMlohota athletica^ Ros. This is a synonym of Coesyra 

 annularis^ Meyr. 



Without entering into the subject of the other groups, 

 I may say that Discophlehia Lucasii^ Ros., is the female of 

 D. catocalina, Feld. ; the affinities of this curious insect need 

 not be discussed here. 



To this list of criticisms I should, in fairness, add that 

 some genera and species appear to have been so carefully ex- 

 amined (considering the imperfect material available) that it 

 is a pity the same attention was not bestowed upon all.

 Part V. By W. L. Distant. 



The following descriptions are of butterflies received from 

 the Malay Peninsula, an area which possesses a particularly 

 rich Rhopalocerous fauna, and one which continually exhibits 

 novelties in almost every collection.
