256 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



species to be a Bendis, the unangulated wings and almost central 

 character of the transverse stripe not being at all characteristic 

 of this genus. 



Bendis pangonia of Guenee is, without question, identical with 

 Walker's Naxia calorifica, the type of the genus Delgamma. The 

 locality, "Brazil?", is of course incorrect, as it is an Indian 

 species ; but Guenee says : — *' Je ne suis pas bien sur de la 

 patrie de cet insecte, et il pourrait se faire aussi qu'il n'appartient 

 pas a ce genre." 



Bendis limonia is included by Herr Moeschler in his account 

 of a collection received from Jamaica. The description of 

 M. Guenee seems to point to a species of Orthogramma, allied to 

 0. lurida: — '' Cuisses anterieures munies d'un faisceau de polls 

 jaunatres et d'un autre faisceau d'un brun-noir luisant." 

 Cayenne is given as the locality ; but M. Guenee says that he 

 received two specimens from M. Feisthamel,— one marked with 

 " Cayenne," and the other " India." 



Bendis magdalia can hardly belong to the genus, the wings 

 being entire, with the transverse band on the secondaries central. 

 B. ellops may be allied to B. pelidnalis, but I strongly suspect it 

 to be an Orthogramma.

M. Guenee gives the Isle of St. Thomas as the locality of his 

 B. gurda ; and Walker was unable to give the locality of his 

 Poaphila pulverosa, which was one of the old specimens from 

 Milne's collection. I have only seen females of B. hinna, which 

 greatly resemble Poaphila, excepting that the primaries are sub- 

 angulated. Near to it in the Museum collection I found Walker's 

 Poaphila perspiciia (another species the locality of which was un- 

 known) ; it is certainly Grote's Phurys glans, which it will 

 supersede. 



Bendis detrahens.

This is such a typical-looking Bendis, that even if the name 

 Trama were not preoccupied in Hemiptera there could be no 

 object in adopting it. 



The genus Pleonectyptera appears to be a Thermesiid. 

 P. geometralis, Grote, is ^ Poaphila irrecta. Walk. ; and (speak- 

 ing of Poaphila) Poaphila contacta and P. suhordinata of Walker 

 must be added to the synonymy of Panula inconstans, Guen.
