difference in the neuration of the male and female has hitherto been 

 regarded as characteristic of Amorbia, Clem., which, however, has no 

 costal fold in the male. 



Platynota, Clem. 



Platynota rostrana, Wkr. 



Teras rostrana, Wkr. Cat. Lp. Ins. B. M. xxviii. p. 290 (1863). 



= Teras restitutana, Wkr. Cat. Lp. Ins. B. M. xxviii. p. 292 

 (1863). 



= Teras connexana, Wkr. Cat. Lp. Ins. B. M. xxviii. p. 293 

 (1863). 



Platynota rostrana, Wlsm. 111. Typ. Lp. Het. B. M. iv. 5-6, 

 pi. Ixii. fig. 1 (1879) ; Fern. Tr. Am. Ent. Soc. x. no. 114, p. 22 

 (1882). 



Larva. Leaves of orange. (U. S., Fern.) 



United States — Florida (Fern.). 



S. America — Venezuela (JVkr.), Brazil (Ega, Wkr.). 



West Indies— San Domingo {Wkr.), St. Vincent (Kingstown and 

 windward side, 2 specimens. Smith). 



These two specimens are in poor condition and the dark markings 

 are not distinctly outlined by lines of semi-raised scales as in the 

 type. They are also somewhat smaller ; but on the strength of such 

 material I cannot regard them as anything more than a local form. 



Platynota repandana, Wkr. 



Teras repandana, Wkr. Cat. Lp. Ins. B, M. xxviii. p. 292 (1863). 

 West Indies — San Domingo ( Wkr.) 



The type of this species is erroneously recorded by Walker as a 

 female, it is a male. 



Ceratorrhineta. 



[CmtOBBSINETA, Z.) 



Type, S $ Cerorrhineta calidana, Z. (Cuba). (Plate XLI. 

 fig. 2, a-e.) 



Aniennce, (S , scaled and flattened beyond the basal joint, giving a 

 bulged appearance, beyond which they are merely pubescent ; $ 

 simple. 



Palpi, S , thickly clothed ; long, curved downwards, apical joint 

 short : $ very long (longer than in the S ), much curved down- 

 wards, closely clothed throughout. 



Head thickly clothed, with a slight projecting tuft. 



Thorax smooth. 



Fore wings, S , elongate, oblong ; with a straight costal fold ex- 

 tending nearly to the apex : $ with the costal margin arched, 

 especially towards the base : apical margin not oblique ; with raised 

 scales, as in Platynota, but these are not abundant. Neuration 

 ( cJ &$ ): 12 veins, 7 and 8 from a common stem, the fork enclosing 

 the apex.
