be accepted as type I must still hold the same opinion. This 
species, however, will have to stand as type of Psithyros, 
Hiibn.; and therefore in any case Wallengren’s genus falls; 
but if we accept Felder’s extension of the genus, it may stand 
for all such species as have broadly-fringed and pilose legs, 
and (so far as I can judge from figures alone) would contain 
M. Mitchelit, M. imperator, R. rectifascia, R. scottiarum, and 
possibly M, tinnunculus. Atany rate the hairy-legged species 
will have to be separated generically from Macroglossa. 
39. Protoparce Schmeltzii, sp. n. 
g. Primaries above much like those of P. cingulata, ex- 
cepting that the black markings are all replaced by dark 
velvety grey-brown, the two elongated median stripes being 
only partly visible in certain lights; discocellular spot white: 
secondaries ash-grey, crossed at basal fourth by a very ob- 
lique brown band, in the centre by two brown stripes, which 
unite and are continued as a single line from below the first 
median branch; external border broadly brown, especially at 
apex; all these brown bands, as well as the costal border, 
which is whitish, are slightly shot with gold; fringe white, 
broadly spotted with brown: thorax grey, with several longi- 
tudinal black lines; an arched line at the back of the collar 
on each side: abdomen dark grey in the dorsal region, but 
with the sides alternately banded with black and white; a 
bright ochreous spot on each side at the base. Wings below 
sericeous brownish grey, with feebly indicated darker stripes 
somewhat as above: body below greyish white; venter with 
snow-white posterior borders to the segments. HExpanse of 
wings 108 millim. 
Australian region. 
No reference is given to this species in the list received 
with the collection ; and therefore [ am unable to record the 
exact locality. It is an exceedingly distinct species, interme- 
diate between the P. carolina and P. cingulata groups. 
40. Spilarctia turbida, sp. n. 
2. Allied to 8. rosacea and S. basilimbata of Japan.  Pri- 
maries cream-coloured, clouded all over the central area with 
brown, upon which the veins and a spot at the inferior angle 
of the cell show creamy white; two large black spots crossed 
by the median vein, the first near the base and the second at 
origin of first median branch ; two abbreviated oblique black 
bands divided by the nervures, the first from apex to third 
median branch, the second from the lower radial at the end of
