Butler discusses the synonymy of Erycina bates (Clerck), placed with E. 
rhetus (Cram.) by Morisse as a synonym of E. licarsis (God.). He considers 
E. licarsis (Fab.) to be distinct from E. hates, and also regards E. rhetus as a 
distinct species. The species described as E. licarsis by Morisse is also distinct 
from E. hates, and Butler gives diagnoses of both. Ent. M. Mag. iii. pp. 63-54. 
Nemeohiuslucina, habits noticed by Barrett, Ent. M. Mag. iii. p. 114. 
3fesene homilcar (^ioW) vradi 31. phareus (Fab.) are distinct according to 
Butler, Ent. M. Mag. iii. p. 165. 
Neiu genera : — 
Cricosoma, g. n., Felder, 1. c. p. 292. Allied to Mesene ; head retracted ; 
antennae very slender, passing middle of costa, club distinct, arcuate; palpi 
scarcely reaching the face ; fore wings with the costa deflexed in the middle, 
subcostal vein triramose, branches 1 and 2 straight, distant from each other 
and from the costal vein ; abdomen stout, rather short, transversely banded. 
Sp. C. leopardinum, sp. n., Feld. 1. c. p. 293, pi. 37. figs. 29, 30, Bahia. 
Synapta*, g. n., Felder, l.c. p. 294. Allied to Emesis', antennae attaining 
nearly two-thirds of the costa, club very distinct, suboval, arcuate ; fore wings 
with the costa much deflexed in the middle, subcostal vein triramose, 
branches 1 and 2 emitted before the closure of the cell. Sp. S. arion, sp. n., 
Feld. 1. c. p. 294, pi. 36. figs. 20, 21, origin unknown. 
Orocozona, g. n., Felder, l.c. p. 296. Allied to Charis •, palpi slightly ex- 
ceeding the face ; antennae slender, their joints scarcely perceptible, club very 
slender ; fore wings with subcostal vein triramose, branch 1 connate with 
subcostal before the middle. Sp. C. pheretimay sp. n., Feld. 1. c. p. 296, 
pi. 36. figs. 16, 17, New Granada. 
Ajwdemia, g. n., Felder, 1. c. p. 302. Allied to Letnonias, but with the 
* This name must be changed, being preoccupied by a well-known and 
indeed celebrated genus of Holothurioid Echinodermata.
