Xylophasia incognita, Butl. Cist. Ent. iii. p. 132 (1885). 
The type specimen in National Collection at South Kensington is 
so poor in condition that it is not possible to say what it may have 
been, but. Mr. Butler compares his X. incognita with X. lithoaylea 
and adds, “ In coloration this species corresponds more nearly with 
the Chilian X. cauquenensis than with X. lithory/ea, but in pattern 
it scarcely differs from the latter.”
