LiTHOSIIDiE. 
E. Moore has published a “ Revision of certain Genera of European and 
Asiatic Lithosiidce^ with characters of new genera and species”; P. Z. S. 
1878, pp. 3-37, pis. i.-iii. He arranges the principal Asiatic genera of 
Lithosiince as follows: — 
A. Fore-wing with subcostal vein 5-branched, median vein 4-branched : 
Eligmaj Macrohrochis, Tripura^ Paraona, Atolmis^ Sidyma^ 
Churinga^ Vamuna, Mahavira^ Korawa^ Ilesudra^ Ghoria, 
Chrysceglia, CEonistes, Lithosia.

Simareea^ Tarika, Brunia, Gandhara^ Collita, Katha, Eilema, 
Manulea, Systi'opha, Chrysorrhabdia^ Capissa, Dolgoma, Mi- 
thuna, Cossa, Ranghana^ Tegulata.

Bizone, Cyana.

Baroa, Agrisius, Lyclene, Bar sine, Miltochrista, Setinochroa, 
Setina, Nudaria, and (Emene. 
Many of the known genera, as well as the pew ones, are subsequently 
characterized and their types indicated ; and the following corrections of 
synonymy occur with regard to the former ; — Surina, Walk., = Pan- 
glima, Moore, = Eligma, Hiibn. ; Samera, Wallengr., = Pelosia, Hiibn. ; 
Cyllene, Walk., = Lyclene, Moore. The affinities of the new genera 
may be seen from the foregoing table.
