 Eumelia venustalis. 



Phal(zna venustalis, Cram., Pap. Exot., iv., pi. 371, fig. 1. 



Eumelia testula, Hiib., Zutr., v., 8, 409, figs. 817, 818.

S copula jucu7idalis, Wlk., xxxiv., p. 1469. 



South Africa. 



Zeller considered his divulsalis to be different from testula 

 and venustalis ; but the points of difference appear to be due to 

 sex and variation only.

The types of commixtalis and indotatellus, both from Canada ; 

 of septentrionalis, from Finland. In his Catalogue, lac. cit., 

 Staudinger, after quoting septentrionalis, Tgstr., as a var. of 

 manualis, adds the query, " species propria ? " The comparison 

 of Walker's type of commixtalis with specimens in the Zeller 

 Collection, marked septentrionalis, Tengstr., shows their identity. 

 This occurrence of the same species in Finland and N. Canada 

 is interesting. Walker's type of indotatellus — recognizable, but 

 in deplorable condition — is from the same locality and source as 

 his type of commixtalis.
