CATALOGUE OF NOCTUID2E SMITH. Ill 



Genus PSAPHIDIA Wlk. 

 1865. Wlk, C. B. Mus., Hot., xxxn, 447. 



Under the title Dicopincc, the genera Dicopis, Eutolype, and Copi- 

 panolis are monographically treated by me in the Proceedings of the 

 U. S. National Museum for 1892, Vol. xv, pp. 52-63. All the species 

 are fully described there, and special reference to this paper is not 

 made except where necessary to authenticate a species or give author- 

 ity for a change. The generic term Psaphidia Wlk., must, under the 

 rules, replace Dicopis, though not nearly so appropriate and certainly 

 not as well described.
