LEPIDOPTEEA. OF THE FAMILY ZTGiENIB.*:. 343 



cousideration the fact that many true Zygsenidse are destitute 

 of it. 



Subfamily ZYG^NIN^. 



(Anthroeeroidse, Wllgr.) 



Genus ZTGJiNA, Fabricius. 



Z. negamica of Walker has been referred by Wallengreu to his 

 Arlchalca erythropyga. I will not attempt (with my present small 

 knowledge of the Zygaeninae) to consider its right to be treated 

 as a distinct genus ; to all appearance it is a Zygcena. Procris con- 

 traria,Walker, is a. Neurosymploca {Euctenia, Pelder), and there- 

 fore not (as Walker suggests) congeneric with Z. concinna, Dal- 

 man ; it is identical with '■'■Zygcena pectinicornis " of Shaufuss. 

 Cf. Lep. Het. vii. p. 159, and Nunquam Otiosus, i. p. 11. 



Genus Peocris, Fabricius. 



Zygcena acliaron of Fabricius is referable to this genus ; Amycles 

 acJiaron of Walker may therefore talce the name A. phoenicotelus. 



P. nebulosa, Klug (Lep. Het. i. p. 110) is=P. nebulosa, Herrich- 

 Schafl'er (Lep. Het. vii. p. 1591). 



P. rufiveniris, Walker (n. 11), is not a Procris, but probably a 

 new genus near Pollanisus. 



P. infausta, Linn., is a distinct genus (type oi Aglaope, Latr.), 

 cf. Staudinger, Cat. der Lep. p. 44, 



P. subdolosa, Walker, Suppl. p. 62, is a Pollanisus. 



Subfamily SY^^TOMIN^. 

 Genus Stntomis, Ochsenheimer. 



I liave no doubt whatever that S. Schoenerri (sic), Boisduval, 

 and S. cyssea, Cramer (both described from Bengalese specimens) 

 are identical. Cramer's figure is, indeed, rough, but it presents 

 all the important characters of Boisduval's insect. Among the 

 specimens in the National collection I detected an example of iS^. 

 bicincta, Kollar (letter c of Walker), and a third species (g, h, 

 Walker) from Nepaul (S. lucina, Butl.). The examples referred 

 to by Mr. Walker under S. Latreillii, Boisd., are referable to ■S'. 

 creusa, Linn. ; we, however, possess Boisduval's species from 

 Southern India.
