S TAUDiNGER (Stett. ent. Zeit. 1806, pp. 50-51) remarks upon the following- 
known species of this family. S. luctuosa and doryceriformis (Led.) are 
distinct species ; S. ceriiformis (Led.) cf = amiellata^ var., $ P j <5. ortalidi- 
formis (Led.), a species very nearly allied to annellata ; S. herrichii and

BoMRYCIDiE. 
Wallengren (Kongl. Svenska Akad. Handl. v. 4. p. 33) pro- 
poses tlie formation of a new family (subfamily) for his new genus 
Phiala, which he says is intermediate between the true Bomby- 
cides and his Orgyidce (= Liparides and Dasychirides). He 
characterizes the group as follows : — 
Fam. Phialidce. Retinaculum validum. Areola auxiliaris 
alarum anticarum nulla. Costa prima alarum anticarum radice 
simplici e basi oriens. Costa quinta (costa independens) alarum 
anticarum ad angulum anteriorem quam ad angulum posteriorem 
cellulae propius acccdens. Costa prima alarum posticarum e basi
