64. Statira enysii, Butl. 



(Fidonia enysii, Butl., Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1877, 391, pi. xlii., 9 ; Statira homomorpha, 

 Meyr., Trans. N.Z. Inst., 1883, 91.) 

 Butler's type is certainly this species ; but I should add that neither the 

 description nor figure are strictly recognizable, and my identification of the 

 name with Pasithea brephos was founded on an undoubted specimen of that 

 species received by Mr. Enys from Mr. Butler himself as his enysii. 

 Genus 25. Samana, Walk. 

 Having investigated many of the Australian species of Panagra, Gn., I 

 find it necessary to separate the present genus from it on the ground of the 

 ciliated antennas ; these in Panagra are unipectinated. It will, therefore, 

 be desirable to retain for this genus Walker's name. 

 71. Lyrcea alectoraria, Walk. 

 An additional synonym of this species is Ennomos ustaria, Walk., 1519. 

 On the other hand, I could not find the types of Aspilates primata, Walk., 

 and Endropia mixtaria, Walk., and am of opinion that Walker's descriptions 

 do not apply to this species, whilst the localities are not given at all ; I 

 therefore think these names should be left out of the synonymy, and rejected 

 altogether for the present. 



76. Pseudocoremia melinata, Feld. 

 An additional synonym is Pseudocoremia confusa, Butl., Cist. Ent., ii., 

 496 (I am not sure whether this reference to text is correct). 

 Genus 31. Gelonia, n. g. 

 On comparing Lederer's definitions of the genera Boarmia and Gnophos, 

 it appears that the present genus differs from them notably in neuration, as 

 well as in other points ; I have therefore renamed it as above. 

 Genus 32. Boarmia, Tr. 

 This genus agrees well with Lederer's definition of Boarmia, which, 

 however, he makes rather more comprehensive than I do, as I limit the 

 genus to his subdivision A, to which our species belongs. The name 

 Barsine must therefore be abandoned. To the generic characters given 

 should be added: male with a bare indented spot near base of forewings 

 beneath submedian vein. 



81. Declana floccosa, Walk. 



The reference to Chlenias verrucosa, Feld., should be struck out; vid. infr. 



82. Declana junctilinea, Walk. 



Politeia junctilinea, Walk. Suppl., 643; Chlenias verrucosa, Feld., cxxxi., 22; Declana 



crassitibia, Meyr., Trans. N.Z. Inst., 1883, 103, male.) 



I believe that the insects described by me as sexes of Crassitibia, Feld., 

 are really specifically distinct, as I have seen now several specimens of the 

 form described as the female with what I believe to be the male belonging
