Cliauliodes and its Allies. 37 



Hermes costalis, Walker (of which Hermes anficus, Walker 

 is a ? ) is identical with Neuromus grandis, Thunherg {Tleme- 

 rohius f/randis, Thbg. Nov. Ins, Sp. pt. i. p. 28, fig. 44, from 

 Japan). The species varies considerably in the number of 

 pale spots ; and the Chinese examples show an approach to 

 mj C. infectus from Darjeeling. 



Hermes duhitatus^ Walker (without locality), is not the ? of 

 Cliauliodes calif or nicAis, as supposed by Hagen, in which he 

 was followed by me (Journ. Linn. Soc, Zool. vol. ix.), but is 

 identical with H. diversus^'WixlkQv (New Zealand). The types 

 of diversus have the wings much crumpled, and I have only 

 recently seen perfect examples. 



Hei-mes ma-culifera^ Walker, appears to be only the ? of 

 maculipennis, Gray, though the difference of the localities 

 (Malabar and Java) would favour the suspicion of their being 

 distinct. 



Cliauliodes disjunctus, Walker (in Lord's ' Naturalist in 

 Vancouver's Island and British Columbia'), is a good species 

 of Cliauliodes^ and the largest yet known. I also possess it 

 from Vancouver's Island, but have only seen females. 



Hermes 10-maculatus and i/.cor^^j9^e?^s, Walker (Trans. Ent. 

 Soc. Lond. new series, vol. v.), are species oi Neuromus allied 

 to N. testaceus and N. Inerogli/phicus. Corripiens is from 

 Brazil ; but there is no label to indicate the locality of 10- 

 maculatus.
