I have not used the genus Topentis for prwlata as Sir George Hampson has done 
because, although included in Yopentis by Hiibner ; the genus 7opentis was res- 
tricted by Stephens in 1829 as=Chilo, Zincken and therefore prelata, Scop.—= 
phantasmella, Hbn, is excluded, the 4 species Stephens restricts Chilo= Topentis 
to, not including it.
