Heterocera from Dutch Xew Guinea. 53 



We must mention here that ekeikei, B.-Bkr., was placed by 

 its author in the genus Ceromacra, Guen., together ^y\V.\

 and a comparison of this insect with polyscia shows that 

 the New Guinea species do not belong to Ceromacra.

"We place this provisionally in Pseudaglossa, of which it 

 may constitute a ucav section. It difi'eis from other forms
