138. Halisidota rufo-ochracea, sp. n. 
9. Nearest to ochracea, but much darker; differs at 
first sight by its truncated fore wing with square-cut 
termen; it also differs in the head, antenne, thorax, and 
fore wings being orange-rufous nor golden-orange as in 
ochracea. 
1 g bred (cocoon a coarse network, sooty-brown ; pupa 
black, thorax and wing-coverts reddish brown).

Sir George Hampson united under rhomboidea, Sepp, 
strigulosa, Walk., citrina, Walk., and mandus, H.-Sch.; he 
himself afterwards recognised mandus as distinct, but strigu- 
losa also is a distinct species, and I believe citrina is also.

Sir George Hampson places these American insects, 
together with some very different-looking African and 
Asiatic species, in the genus Menas. I feel sure this is 
wrong. Menas has as genotype vocula, Stoll, which is an 
African species, and I consider should be confined to the 
African species. Lucea and Carbisa, with simplex, Walk., 
and venosa, Moore, respectively, as genotypes, must be
