to it, having simple antenns, and therefore generically separable from 
Declana, The present species is that described as the male, for which I 
have found a name in Walker, and to which I also now refer verrucosa, 
Feld., instead of to the preceding species. The other species described as 
the female will stand as follows :— 
Ipana Xe Walk. Noct., 1662. 
(Ipana sities Walk., Amphitape khu A cix., 10; Declana 
crassitibia, Meyr., TURA N.Z. Inst., 1883, 103, f e.) 
The simple antenne distinguish this genus from Mun and Detunda, 
and the separate origin of veins 10 and 11 of the forewings remove it from 
Atossa, Further investigation of this peculiar group, in which I think some 
specific variation in neuration may occur, is desirable; the genera may 
eventually require to be remodelled. 
85. Amastris humeraria, Walk. 
{ Macaria humeraria, Walk., 940; Lozogramma obtusaria, ib., 985 ; Cidaria flexata, ib., 1421; 
Cidaria obtruncata, ib., 1491 ; Sestra fusiplagiata, ib., 1751; Amastris encausta, Meyr., 
Trans. N.Z. Inst., 1883, 105.) 
I rather anticipated this identification, but was afraid to make it until 
had seen the types. 
87. Chalastra pelurgata, Walk. 
(Chalastra pee Walk., 1430; Itama cinerascens, Feld., cexxxi., 1; Stratocleis 
eptophora, Meyr., Trans. N.Z. Inst., 1883, 106.) 
I was not du" with the male when publishing my description; it 
has bipectinated antenne, and the species therefore cannot remain in 
Stratocleis ; I have retained for it accordingly Walker's generic name. 
Excepting the pectination of the antenns, the characters of Chalastra are 
those of Stratocleis. The specific name is misprinted pellurgata; but I think 
there can be no doubt that Walker meant to write pelurgata, deriving it from 
the generie name Pelurga, Hb., which is itself correctly formed from the Greek.

91. Identified with 71. 
92. No type found; description not recognizable; may be dropped. 
98, 94. Single specimens of these Australian species are labelled from 
New Zealand; I have no doubt this is an error; they may be omitted 
until recaptured. 
97. Larentia subductata, Walk., 1198. I think this may be a distinct 
species from any described, but eannot speak positively until specimens are 
obtained for examination; it is probably a Larentia, and rather resembles 
large forms of L. einerearia, Dbld., but is distinetly tinged with yellow- 
greenish. 
98. Wholly unidentifiable ; may be dropped,
