Genus Erchia. Walker.

Surinam. 



Walker originally described the L(emoc]iaris niarluli.^ of 

 Herricli Scliatier as this species (compare Cat. Le}). Het. 1, p. 

 157, and YII. p. 1604).

 Para, {Bates). 



The genus Erchia, as thus constituted, is only distinguished 

 from my new genus Metriopliyla by its shorter and broader 

 Avings ; it belongs to the Zyc/cenoid Ardiidte. 



Genus Phara. Walker. 



Pliara trivittata. 



Dioptis {Phara) tririttata. Walker, Cat. Lep. Het. 2, p. 322,

Fliara iiydeineroides. 



Olina nyctemeroides. Walker, Char. Het. Lep. p. 6 (1869). 

 Hab.— ? Type B.M. 



The genus Phara is closely allied to Leucopsumis, but has 

 the abdominal lines of Erchia, ; P. \i ycteriieroid.es is very near 

 to P. trioittata ; but is, I think, distinct.
