LiTHOSIIDiE. 
Setina. Zeller publishes a revision of the European species 
of this genus in continuation of his former observations (Stett. 
ent. Zeit. 1867, pp. 33-49). He discusses, the characters of the 
species and of their varieties, and gives diagnoses of them, with 
the exception of S. mesomelia, about which he thinks there is 
nothing doubtful. The species noticed are : — S. flava (Brem.) 
= ochracea (Led.), p. 33 ; S. irrorella (Linu.), p. 34, with 3 va- 
rieties ; S.freyeri (Nick.), p. 36, with vars. signata (Borkh.) and 
andereggii (H.-Sch.) ; S. aurita (Esp.), p. 45, with ramosa 
(Fab.) ; S. alpestris (Zell.), p. 45 ; S. kuhlwemii (Hiibn.), p. 46, 
with 4 varieties j S.flavicans (Boisd.),p. 48; S, roscida (Hiibn.), 
and S. melanomas (Nick.), p. 49. Guenee's views as to the dis- 
tinctness of S. aurita and ramosa are discussed at length, pp. 
41-45 ; and in a note on p. 41, Zeller remarks on the sounds 
produced by the Lithosice and other moths, with special refer- 
ence to the observations of Laboulbene, Guenee, and Fallou upon 
this subject. 
HEttRicii-ScHAFFER (Cori’.-Blatt zool.-min, Ver, Regensb. 
XX. pp. 118-120) remarks upon the Cuban species of this family. 
Keperstein also remarks upon the species of the genus Setina (Stett. ent. 
Zeit. 1867, pp. 278-284), and comes to a conclusion opposed to that of Zeller. 
Ho discusses the characters of the forms admitted as specific by the latter, 
and regards them all as subordinate. According to him, S. irrorea is the 
type form of the species, and the others, all of which show the characteristic 
3 rows of black points on the fore wings and have essentially the same larvae, 
are only varieties. (Nick.) is a small dusky form of the type ; S. 
freyeri (Frey.) is a different variety. 
Speyer remarks (Stett. ent. Zeit. 1867, p. 125) that Lithosia molyldeola 
(Guen.) and complana (Linn.) are distinguished from the rest of the genus 
by having a dense patch of elevated scales on the front margin of the lower 
surface of the fore wings. He indicates the distinctions of the two species. 
Grote (Proc. Ent. Soc. Phil. vi. pp. 312-314, note) discusses the species of 
Crocota inhabiting the United States.
