This genus is now limited better than when I first published it in the 
year 1827. The discoveries of Mr. Póppig, and the opportunities he has 
had of examining the species in a living state, have shewn that a part of 
my Chloreas properly form a new genus, and that Asarca as I originally 
defined it must be merged in Chlorea. See Asanca.
