GENUS PH^GORISTA. 



Boisduval admits two species, Agaristoides, Boisd., and 

 Leucomelas, H. S. (The latter is ^gocera Mcenas, Walk, 

 nee. H. S.) To this genus we may add Bala, Moore, 

 Catocalina, Walk., and Transiens, Walk., {=Catocaloides, 

 Walk.). The last species, originally described by Walker 

 as a Eiisemia, is one of those mentioned by Boisduval 

 under that o-enus as unknown to him. 



GENUS EGYBOLIS. 



Boisduval thinks that his E. NatalU may be distinct from 

 Vaillantina, Stoll. Lastly, he adds that a damaged speci- 

 men from California, formerly described by him as Agarista 

 guttata, proves to be a CalUmorpha allied to Domiivula 

 & Hera. 



It is scarcely probable that we have succeeded in indi- 

 cating all the gaps in this paper, which in spite of its 

 deficiences, will be very useful to those who are working 

 at the groups of which it treats. It is only to be regretted 

 tliat Dr. Boisduval should have omittecl to consult the 

 English, German, and American bibliographical works, 

 which must be accessible in the Paris libraries, and an 

 acquaintance with which would have greatly increased the 

 value of his work ; and our chief object in the present 

 notice is to indicate to any Entomologist who uses the 

 paper the amount of additional matter which it is necessary 

 for him to consult. (No notice has been taken, however, 

 of the allied genera published by Walker and others ; but 

 only of those mentioned by Boisduval, as the bounds of the 

 Agarididre. are still very uncertain.)
