Argina cribraria, Olerck 5 (8) : 



This variable species ranges over Africa, South Asia, and 

 the Malay Islands. Professor Haddon's specimens are of 

 interest in having the light rings round the black spots of the 

 primary wings nearly or quite suppressed. A specimen from 

 Java in the Dublin Museum shows the same variation.

Trigonodes hyppasia, Cram. (1) : 



This species ranges from Africa to Australia. 



It will be seen that six species are typically Australian, and 

 four Austro- Malayan. One ranges over the Malay Islands gene- 

 rally, three range from India to Australia, and four are species 

 with a range extending all over the tropics of the Old World. 

 As might have been expected, the Lepidopteran fauna of Murray 

 Island, as shown in this collection, may be characterized as pre- 

 senting us with a mixture of Australian and Austro-Malayan 

 typical forms, with a fairly strong infusion of wide-ranging 

 Oriental insects. My best thanks are due to Mr. A. Gr. Butler of 

 the British Museum for kindly answering several inquiries.
