Note. The locality " Cape of Good Hope? " inserted in a mono- 

 graph of this genus (P. Z. S. 1866, p. 272) is an incorrect registra- 

 tion. The specimen so labelled was obtained during the voyage of 

 H.M.S. ' Herald,' which visited the southern coast of China, amongst 

 other places : the precise localities were not attached to the insects 

 when captured, and the error resulted from a subsequent attempt to 

 correct this omission.
