HISTORY 



In March, 1864, Clemens established the genus Hamadryas 

 for a microlepidopteron received from H. F. Bassett, of 

 Waterbury, Connecticut. Clemens named the species in honor 

 of Bassett, and it was known as Hamadryas bassettella Clemens 

 until April, 1878. Grote in that year called attention to the 

 pre-occupancy of Clemens' genus Ha)iiadr\as in the Lepidop- 

 tera by Hiibner and Boisduval, and he proposed the name 

 Euclemensia as a generic substitute. It has since been referred 

 to as Euclemensia bassettella (Clemens) in literature and in 

 manuscripts.
