INSECTS OF SAMOA. 



suggests, following E. Hering (Stett. ent. Zeit., lxii, p. 240, 1901), that these two 

 names are synonymous, and this seems not unlikely, but one cannot prove it 

 without Guenee's types. Rebel cites C. mysteris Meyrick, as a synonym of 

 C. conchylalis Guenee, but this can hardly be so if conchylalis = laticostalis, as 

 there are certainly two species involved ; in any case I am satisfied that the 

 Samoan specimens agree with Meyrick's New Hebridean C. mysteris.
