616 MR. A. G. BUTLER ON LEPIDOPTERA FROM [May 3 , 



traces of green colouring similar to that of Thalera thymiaria of 

 Europe. The only locality given is " N. India"! hut there can 

 be little doubt that they were all obtained in the Neilgherries ; 

 "N. India" seems to represent any thing, in some collections, from 

 Scinde to Madras. 



The genus Litbada of Walker appears to be allied to Loxochila 

 and Geometra ; but its brownish colouring seems to be permanent.
