 fore wings being orange-rufous not golden-orange as in

Sir George Hampson united under rhomboidea, Sepp, 

 strigulosa, \Yalk., citrina. Walk., and mandus, H.-Sch. ; he 

 himself afterwards recognised mandus as distinct, but strigu- 

 losa also is a distinct species^ and I believe citrina is also.

Sir George Hampson places these American insects, 

 together with some very different-looking African and 

 Asiatic species, in the genus Mwnas. I feel sure this is 

 wrong. Moenas has as genotype vocula, Stoll, which is an 

 African species, aud I consider should be confined to the 

 African species. Buccea and Carbisa, with simplex, Walk., 

 and venosa, Moore, respectively, as genotypes, must be
