It is only after long consideration that we ha^'e decided to apply this name to an Australian species. 
Felder’s type came from Amboina,^ and has app«arenlly been lost. 
A form of this species aj^pears in LowePs Revision of the Australian llesperidae (Transactions 
Koval Society Sontli Australia 1911, p. 150) as Ocyhadistes reclimtta IMabille. This has the snb- 
npical spots of forewing usually free from the cell patch and the discal band: the discal band of fore- 
wing is narrower, and the spots forming it are more distinct. It is not a geogTaphieal race, for we have 
it from several localities whore typical siinias also occurs. Extremes of either form are easily separated, 
but we have intergrados that cannot be satisfactorily allotted to either. To make quite certain we have 
esamined the genitalia of a series of both forms and Ave find the,v are identical. Hence (K rectivilta, as 
deHned by Lower, must sink as a synonym of smu'as. Erulistorfer (Iris 1910, ]>. 97) states that rectivitta 
belongs to the genus Taracirocera^ and that although described from Celebes, Alabille’s sj^eeimens are 
labelled as from Australia. Afabille himself, in the Genera Insectorum, places rectivitta in tlie genus 
P(idrao«a, with Celebes as the only locality.

The t 3 'pe of this .species came from Ani])oina. Both mamas and afflnis differ from the otliers of 
the genus in thoir larger size. Their broader Avings, slender palpi and different male venation separate 
them decisively from the species of similar facies in TeJicota: the tegnmen of both species is of the 
Mraona and not of the Telicoia pattern.
