Dr. Melichar has fallen into confu.sion over this species. 

 He has figured it correctly, but hasgiven incorrect references. 

 It was described by Walker as above, but Melichar has 

 referred to the liicania emarginata, Walk. (1868), from Sula 

 which belongs to the genua Armacia and =A. fatipeiuiis, 

 "Walk. He has also referred to the Flatoides viarginatus, 

 Walk. (1851), as a synonym of the species, and hence the 

 older name; but F. marginatus, Walk., belongs to the genus 

 Kpitemna, and although unlocalised by its describer is un- 

 doubtedly a West- African species.
