13. * Characomanilotica (Rogenhofer) .

Sarrothripa nilotica Rogenhofer, Zool.-Bot. Ges. Wien, Verh., 26, 1881.

Characoma nilotica, Hampson, Cat. Lep. Phalaenae 11: 231, fig. 76, 1912.

Inarajan, June 8, larvae found feeding in terminal leaf buds of Hibiscus tiliaceus , one moth reared, Swezey; Piti , 3 moths at light, July 12, Aug. 20, Nov. 4, Swezey.

This species is recorded from Texas, Mexico, Central America, Bahamas, West Indias, Canary Islands, Egypt, Sierra Leone, Gambia, Nigeria, Madras, Ceylon. The record from Guam is at a considerable distance from the other recorded localities. As I reared it from Hibiscus tiliaceus which is widely spread in the Pacific islands, no doubt this moth will yet be found more widely in the Pacific area.
