LepidoiDtera from Madagascar. 393 



with ferriiginoiis inner edge, and only three o£ the abdominal 

 segments are tawny at the sides ; the anal tuft also has a ferru- 

 ginous border ; about half of the specimens seen by me have a 

 transverse bar of snow-white scales along the anterior margin of 

 the last segment. 



DcilephUa higuUata, Walker. 



The collection contained a good series of this handsome moth ; 

 hitherto Ave have only possessed the type, a damaged $ example 



Nepliilc charoba, Kirby. 



A very variable sj^ecies, the wings being of all sorts of shades 

 between rust-red and dark smoky-brown. 



Triptogon meander, Boisd. 



A male of this very rare species, unfortunately somewhat 

 damaged ; the form of the primaries is somewhat aberrant for a 

 Triptogon, so that eventually a genus may have to be erected 

 for its reception. 



Bizone amatura, Walker. 



B. Jtova of Guenee is identical Avith this species. 



Soziiza marginata, Guerin. 

 This is one of the prettiest of the Mascarene Lithosiids. 



Boroccra madagascariensis, Boisd. 



There cannot be a question but that B. Cajuni is the same 

 species; Boisduval's figure is indeed rough, Init it is just 

 recognisable. 



Cyligraiiima conturhans, Walker. 



C. rahoudov of Lucas is happily identical with this species, so 

 that the latter name may be expunged. 



Ophiodes hottentota, Guenee. 

 This agrees with S. African examples.
