 Although this volume is dated 1822, and the fourth of Ochsenheimer's 

 work appeared six years before, Godart does not seem to have been aware 

 that the German author had in this, his last volume, adopted Latreille's, or 

 rather Draparnaud's Genus Stygia, for the reception of HUbner's Bombyx 

 Terebellum, which he accordingly transferred from its former place with the 

 Chimerae (vol. ii. p. 6. No. 4. Ch. leucomelas) to that Genus. 



§ Ochsenheimer's generic characters in this and several other instances 

 are so insufficient, that I have often found it necessary, as in the present 

 case, to quote other naturalists of acknowledged authority.
