Lepidoptera of the family Lithosiidcs. 359 



236. Themiscyra mactata = Mieza mactata, Felder, Reise 



der IS^ov. Lep. 5, pi. cxxxix. fig. 44. 



Themiscyra varicosa, Butler, Ann. & Mag. 

 Nat. Hist. s. 4, vol. xviii. p. 126. Hah. — Cape 

 York. 

 Mieza"^ phoenodes appears to belong also to this genus. 



TiGRioiDES, n. gen. (PI. VIII. fig. 18.) 

 Readily distinguished from LWiosia by the very short 

 discoidal cell of secondaries, the subcostal branches, and the 

 second and third median branches emitted from extremely 

 long footstallcs. Type, T. alter na. 



237. Tigrioides altema == Setina altema,Wlk.Lep. Het. 2, 



p. 520. Hah. — New Holland, Sydney, Moreton 

 Bay, Hunter Rivei'. 



238. Tigrioides transversa = Lithosia transversa, Wlk. 



Lep. Het. Suppl. 1, p. 229. Hab. — Australia. 

 Nearly allied to T. altema. 



Stenoplastis, Felder. 



239. Stenoplastis venata, n. sp. Hah. — Espiritu Sancto^ 

 Primaries smoky-broAvn, with whitish veins, the disco- 



ccllulars broadly whitish; three transverse denticulated 

 black-brown lines, the first crossing the cell, the others 

 beyond it, the outermost bordered externally by a series of 

 hastate whitish spots; secondaries grey, becoming brownish 

 at apex ; a blackish marginal line, fringe grey ; head and 

 thorax smoky-brown, with a blackish longitudinal line ; 

 abdomen grey ; primaries below greyish-brown, costal 

 margin whitish, fringe brown; secondaries grey, fringe 

 brown ; body below greyish-brown ; palpi and legs under-^ 

 neath whitish : expanse of Avings 1 in. 2 — 6 lin. 



Most nearly allied to an undescribed species in 

 Dr. Moeschler's Collection from Surinam, and which he 

 intends to call *S'. furcata ; it is, however, abundantly 

 distinct. 



The genera Brachyglene and Ischnocamjoa should, I 

 think, be placed here. 



Clina, Walker. 



240. Clina lapidaria, Wlk. Lep. Het. Suppl. 1, p. 257. 



Hah. — South India.
