Xanthia Ochs. (1816). 



The generic type was specified by Curtis (1825) as fiavago Fabr. 

 (lutea Strom) and Xanthia will therefore replace the genus Cosmia 

 of Hampson. 



Glaea Steph. 



.The genus, apart from the Tcntamcn, was apparently first used by 

 Stephens in 1829 and vaccinii L. specified as type by Curtis in the same 

 year; it will therefore sink to Conistra Hbn. 



Cosmia Ochs. (1816). 



Duponchel specified the type as diffinis Linn, in 1829; the genus must 

 replace Calymnia Hbn. as used by Hampson. 

 Parastichtis Hbn. (1822). 



Grote specified the type of this genus (Can. Ent. 1900, p. 212) as 

 suspecta Hbn. The genus therefore replaces Amathcs Hbn. of Hamp- 

 son, which in any case could not be used as Hampson uses it, the type 

 having been fixed by Grote in 1895 (Ent. Rec.) as baja L. ; for Para- 

 stichtis as used by Hampson, Scptis Hbn. is apparently the only avail- 

 able generic name. 



Trachea Ochs. (1816). 



Hampson's usage is correct in a broad sense as the type of the genus 

 was restricted by Hiibner in 1822 to atriplicis L. and specified by both 

 Curtis (1839) and Westwood (1839) as the same species. 



Perigia Gn. 



Type specified by Grote (1874) as xanthoidcs Gn. ; Hampson's usage 

 is correct. 



Oligia Hbn. (1S22). 



Type specified by Grote (1895) as stric/ilis L. Miana Steph. with the 

 same type, fixed by Westwood in 1839, falls as a synonym. Hampson's 

 usage is again correct. 

 Luperina Bdv. (1829). 



The type was fixed by Duponchel in 1829 as tcstacea Schiff. and this 

 usage is followed by Guenee, Grote and Hampson. 

 Caradrina Ochs. (1816). 



The type was designated in 1829 by Duponchel as i-intactum Hbn. ; 

 Hiibner however in the V crzclchniss had already restricted the genus 

 to the species ncglecta Hbn., rcspcrsa Schiff., lacvis Hbn., blanda Schiff., 

 alslncs Bork. and tara.vaci Hbn., so that Duponchel's designation was 

 presumably incorrect. Curtis in 1837 gave morphcus as the type and 

 Westwood in 1840 cubicularis Schiff., both of which for the same rea- 

 son cannot be accepted. Guenee in 1852 named alsincs Bork. as type 

 and this, being one of the species included in Hubner's restriction, is 

 valid. Caradrina will therefore replace Athctis Ilbn. as used by Hamp- 

 son.
