Hal at a, many localities, doubtless general; described from 
24 specimens selected from a much larger number, of which however 
many were rubbed or defective, mostly bred from larvae feeding in 
stems of rice, a few also on maize, and one on Scirpus grossus 
( Corbett , Pagclen , Milder , Gates ) (type Brit. Mus.). Allied to 
suppress alls Walk, and auricilia Dudg.

Salebria paurosema Heyr. 
Halaya, Serdang, bred from larvae feeding on shoots and flowers 
of Cassia Jiirsuta and Occident alls. By an unfortunate misappre¬ 
hension I have redescribed this (p. 233) as thylacandra.
