176. Lithosia gilvcola., Ochscnheimer, Schm. Eur. iii. 



p. 137. Huh. — Europe. 

 L. vitellina appears to be allied to this species. 



177. Lithosia aureola, Ochsenheimer, Schm. Eur. iii. 



p. 140. Hab. — Europe. 



178. Lithosia nitens, Wlk. Lep. Het. Suppl. 1, p. 231. 



Lithosia remota, Wlk. Char. Het. Lep. p. 9, 

 n. 12 (1869). i7aZ».— Moreton Bay. 

 Allied to the preceding species. 



179. Lithosia brevipennis, Wlk. Lep. Het. 2, p. 509. 



Hah. — Ceylon. 

 L. intacta of Walker is probably identical with L. prce- 

 cipiia. 



180. Lithosia intermixta, Wlk. Lep. Het. Suppl. 1, 



p. 229. ^a^».— South India. 



181. Lithosia apicalis, Wlk. Journ. Linn. Soc. vi. p. 104. 



Hab. — Sarawak. 



182. Lithosia decreta, n. sp. Hob. — Sarawak. 

 Primaries and thorax ochreous ; secondaries creamy 



whitish ; abdomen sordid whitish, the sides and posterior 

 segments tinted with ochreous : under surface ochraceouSj 

 primaries paler than above, secondaries with the costa 

 ochreous : expanse of Avings 9 lines. 



Possibly a very small example of L. simplex, a species 

 unknown to me excepting from Walker's description ; but 

 I suspect it to be distinct, as the primaries of L. simplex 

 appear to be pale lutcous, whereas those of L. decreta are 

 bright ochreous. 



183. Lithosia bipunctigera, Wallengren, Wien. Ent. 



Monatschr. iv. p. 45 (1860). 

 Setina quadrinotata, Wlk. Lep. Het. Suppl. 1, 

 p. 237. if«^>.— Natal. 

 I do not see the slightest reason for separating this from 

 its near allies to form a genus, therefore I cannot adopt 

 Wallengren's noxnQ Lexis ; L. bipunctigera is neai'ly allied 

 to Z. lutcula and many other species.
