EuCLIDIIDiE. 



92. Trigonodes hyppasia. 



Phalcena-Noctua hyppasia, Cramer, Pap. Exot. iii. pi. 250. f. E 



(1782). 



Four specimens, more or less worn. 



93. Trigonodes inacuta. 



Trigonodes inacuta, Guenee, Noct. iii. p. 284 (1852). 

 One good and one much rubbed example. 



Remigiid^. 



94. Remigia archesia. 



Phakena-Noctua archesia, Cramer, Pap. Exot. iii. pi. 273. figs. F, G 

 (1782). 



Bemigia yregalis, Guenee, Noct. iii. p. 320 (1852). 



Nine specimens. 



This has been confounded with the succeeding species, from which 

 it appears to me to be distinct. 



95. Remigia virbia. 



Phalcena-Noetua r«V6eff, Cramer, Pap. Exot. iii. pi. 2/3. fig. H( 1 782). 

 Four specimens. 



96. Remigia ? optativa. 



Remigia optativa, Walker, Cat. Lep. Het. xiv. p. 1510 (1857). 

 Four specimens. The species appears to me to be referable to the 

 genus Pohjdesma rather than Remigia. 



97. Remigia frugalis. 



Noctua frugalis, Fabricius, Ent. Syst. iii. 2, p. 138 (1793). 

 Two examples. 



ThERMESIIDjE. 



98. Thermesia reticulata. 



Thermesial reticulata. Walker, Cat, Lep. Het. Suppl. iii. p. 10C2 

 (1865). 



Homodesi thermesioides, Snellen, Tijd. voor Ent. 1876, p. 28, 

 pi. 2. fig. 15. 



One specimen. 



This is one of the numerous species described by Walker which 

 Herr Snellen has renamed. It seems a great pity that any entomo- 

 logist, by practically ignoring the labours of his predecessors, should 

 continue every year to add to the already over-burdened synonymy 

 of the Lepidoptera. Although many of the species described by 

 Walker are referred to genera, families, and even tribes to which 

 they have no affinity, so many more are readily recognizable from 

 his descriptions as to leave no excuse for any one who carelessly or 

 recklessly redescribes them.
