This very distinct genus is the fourth belonging to the Chrysauginm 

 known from the Oriental region (Baiiepa, Moore, Omphalolomia^ 

 Swinhoe, and Macna, Walker^^ Goossensia, Rogonot). The true habitat 

 oi Hypocosmia definitalis, Rogonot, described from Ceylon, being Vene- 

 zuela, Of the other genera of the subfamily, one is Australian, whilst 

 the numerous remaining genera are all from the Neotropical and the 

 warmer parts of the Nearctic regions.

 should be in the hands of every one interested in the Heterocera.
