382 MR. A. G. BUTLER ON HETEROCEROUS [May 1, 



A second form of case occurs in Mr. Enys's collection ; larger, 

 longer, fusiform, of a woolly texture, grey in colouring, with a ten- 

 dency to darker zones at unequal distances. It is found chiefly on 

 willows, sometimes on Cupressus. Unfortunately the moth does 

 not accompany it in sufficiently good condition for description ; it is 

 a species of Clania. Having discovered the type of Morova sub- 

 fasciata of Walker, I find it to be a large example of Caccecia ? 

 gallicolens ; the type of the latter description is a dwarfed and ex- 

 tremely dark specimen. Until I have examined really good examples 

 of this species 1 should not like to hazard another guess at its affinities ; 

 but it certainly, does not belong to the Tortricidee. 



NOCTUITES. 



Beclana floccosa of "Walker should, I think, be placed among the 

 Geometrites next to the genus Ligia ; it is congeneric with the 

 Chlenias verrucosa of Felder, which is not a true Chlenias. The form 

 of the wings, slender abdomen, and long antennae, seem to distinguish 

 it from Cnethocampa and allies. 



Leucaniid^.

After carefully comparing Gue'nee's description with Walker's type, 

 and with the examples brought to England by Dr. Hector and Mr. 

 Enys, I am perfectly satisfied that the two descriptions represent 

 the same species. Walker's type, which is a female, has not the 

 blackish-grey under surface to the primaries ; nor have specimens 

 obtained by Dr. Hector ; but in two of Mr. Enys's examples this 

 character is well marked. The dots on the primaries and the darker 

 thorax, upon which M. Guenee lays some stress, are both charac- 

 teristic of Walker's type, although less strongly indicated than in 

 most individuals of the species. 



Amphitape crassitibia of Felder is Ipana leptomera of Walker.

This species appears to me to approach most nearly to Nonagria.
