50 LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA 
necessary to investigate the many forms anatomically before their true status can be established with 
even approximate correctness. We have considered it inexpedient to add to the existing confusion by 
introducing speculative synonymy, unless there seemed very strong grounds for it; it will probably 
prove, therefore, that we have erred in the other direction, of leaving too many forms distinct. Some 
good critical notes have been published by Bastelberger, Sfett. Ent. Zeit. Vol. 66. p. 201-224, Jahrb.

1) We figured from a typical example of /Zava/a, Walker, but afterwards arrived at the conclusion that this, and not the following, is the true 
numana of Cramer. His type figure (t. 227, f. A, c] is from a discoloired specimen, and almost unrecognizable. 
2) Description unintelligible and locality (Hobart Town) probably inaccurate.
