324 Mr. A. G. Butler on the 



Lfiucamtis sinuosa, Staudinger, in Romanoff's M^m. 

 vol. i. pi. ix. fig. 5, and L. Saissani, in vol. ii. pi. iii. fig. 13, 

 from Helenendorf, seem to be scarcely distinct from M.flexu- 

 osa, certainly less so than my M. inepta. 



" LeucanUis " stoUda, Fabr., is a Grammodes. 



L. ohscurata, Staudinger, Romanoff's Mem. vol. v. (1889), 

 is unknown to me. 



Melipotis amhidens and Gundiani, Felder, Reise der Nov., 

 Lep. iv. pi. cxvi. figs. 9 and 10, are referable to Ercheia; and 

 Leucamtts Schraderi^ Felder, I. c. fig. 7, is Dysgonia latizona. 



Melipotis strigipennis and costipannosa of Moore, Lep. 

 Atk. Coll. (see pi. v. fig. 8), from Darjiling, are both species 

 of Ercheia. 



Bolina revulsa, Wallengren, (Efvers. Akad. Forhandl. 

 xxxii. p. 116 (1876), from the Transvaal, appears to be some- 

 what allied to M. rada, but may, perhaps, not belong to the 

 genus. 



Leucanitis Hedemanni, Staudinger, Stett. ent. Zeit. xlix. 

 p. 257 (1888), to judge by the description, must be a Dys- 

 gonia allied to D. algira. It is from the Amur and China. 



Leucanitis aberrans, Staudinger, Stett. ent. Zeit. xlix. 

 p. 49, from Kuldja, is allied to L. tenera, and therefore is a 

 species oi Anumeta. L. sesquilina, 1. c. p. 51, from Samar- 

 cand, may be my M. inepta, in which case, of course, it will 

 fall. At the same time, judging by the variability of other 

 species of Melipotis, I am convinced that Staudinger has 

 unnecessarily split up the M. cailino group, which may con- 

 sist of only one variable species. 



Snellen's Bolina ? calamioides seems to me to have little in 

 common with Melipotis (see Tijd. voorEnt, xxx. p. 47, pi. iv. 

 figs. 3, 3 Oj 1887) ; according to the figure it does not even 

 belong to the Quadrifidae. 



Melipotis tenella, H. Edwards, from N.W. Texas (Papilio, 

 i. p. 26, 1881), may be a form of the female of B . fasciolaris ; 

 but, as I have not seen an example compared with the type, 

 I cannot speak with certainty. 



Melipotis perlceta, H. Edwards, from Arizona (Papilio, ii. 

 p. 14), is also unknown to me; but it is probably only a 

 female variety of M. ochrodes.
