Colls. Dr. Hector and J. D. Enys, Esq. As I do not possess Gue'nee's type (of C. subidaria) from Australia to compare with Doubleday's from New Zealand, I cannot be absolutely certain that they are identical, although they have long been considered so. M. Guenee says, " Elle varie extremement," which is the case with Doubleday's species; the latter also comes both from Australia and N e w Zealand. 85. COREMIA ARDULARIA. Coremia ardularia, Guene'e, Ent. Mo. Mag. v. p. 63 (1868). Colls. Dr. Hector and J. D. Enys, Esq. 86. CAMPTOGRAMMA SUBOCHRARIA. Aspilates 1 subochraria, Doubleday, Dieff. N. Zeal. App. p. 285 (1843). Var. Camptogramma fuscinata, Guene'e, Ent. Mo. Mag. v. p. 92 (1868). Colls. Dr. Hector and J. D. Enys, Esq. The brown form named by Guenee is a common and slight variety of the species, not differing in any thing but tint and varying in intensity. 87. CAMPTOGRAMMA STINARIA. Camptogramma stinaria, Guenee, Ent. Mo. Mag. v. p. 92 (1868). Colls. Dr. Hector and J. D. Enys, Esq. A well-marked and pretty little species. 88. PHIBALAPTERYX GOBIATA. Cidaria (Phibalapteryx) gobiata, Felder, Reise der Nov. Lep. v. pl. cxxxi. fig. 2. Colls. Dr. Hector and J. D. Enys, Esq. 89. PHIBALAPTERYX VERRICULATA. Cidaria verriculata, Felder, Reise der Nov. Lep. v. pl. cxxxi. fig. 20. O n cabbage-trees near the sea. Colls. Dr. Hector and J. D. Enys, Esq. Phibalapteryx parvulata of Walker is identical with Scotosia denotata ; and Scotosia humeraria is probably a worn example of the same. Scotosia panagruta is a Hyperythra. It varies in so remarkable a manner that, had I not seen intermediates between the extreme forms, it would have been impossible to associate them together. The type is brown, the primaries rather darker than the secondaries, showing traces of darker transverse lines, and having a 3-shaped white line on the discocellulars ; the extreme variation has no white line, but both primaries and secondaries are spotted with bright ochraceous as follows :-primaries with a short subbasal |
