Family OPHIDEBID.3E. 

 Genus Ophideres, Boisduval. 



1. Ophideres ptjllonia, ( S , fullonia) Clerck, Icones, tab. 42. figs. 3, 4 (1759-64) ; 



Ophideres cajeta, Walker (nee Cramer), Lep. Het. xiii. p. 1223 (1857) ; ? , Phalama- 

 Noetua pomona, Cramer, Pap. Exot. ii. p. 122, pi. 77. fig. C (1779). c? ?, Malacca. 



Clerck gives three figures on pi. 42, and names the central one O. fullonia ; it may or 

 may not be the 0. fullonia of Linnaeus. I have little doubt that the true O. cajeta 

 is identical with Walker's 0. bilineosa. According to the example in the Banksian 

 cabinet (whicb, however, is not the type), the O. dioscorece of Eabricius is a variety of 

 this species in which the silvery spot of primaries is developed into a streak be- 

 tween the median branches.
