Trigonophora Hbn. (1822). 



The type was specified by Grote (1874) as cmpyrea Hbn. (flanunca 

 Esp.) and the genus must therefore replace Rhizotypc Hamp. (1. c. 

 Vol. VI, 3/3) leaving Phlogophora Tr. with type mcticulosa L., fixed 

 by Duponchel in 1829, to be used in its place. Solcnophora H. S. and 

 Brotolomia Led. fall as synonyms. 



Callopistria Hbn. (1822). 



This genus will have priority over Erinpus Tr. according to the latest 

 investigations regarding the dates of the various parts of the Verseich- 

 niss (vide Ann. Mag. N. Hist. Jan. 1912). 



Bryophila Tr. (1825). 



This genus, the type of which was designated by Duponchel (1829) 

 as glandifcra Schiff. (mtiralis), will fall before Mctachrostis Hbn. 

 (1822), the type of which is fixed by Hampson as muralis Forst. 



Diphthera Ochs. (1816). 



The type was fixed by Duponchel (1829) as orion Esp. and the genus 

 must therefore replace Daseochacta Warr. as used by Hampson (1. c. 

 Vol. VIII, p. 22). 



Acronycta Ochs. (1816). 



Type fixed by Duponchel (1829) as Icporina L. following Hiibner's 

 restriction in 1822 to leporina and bradyporina. 



Lithomoia Hbn. (1822). 



The type was fixed by Curtis (1838) as solidayinis Hbn. the genus 

 however being misspelled Litlwmia. As already stated Hyppa Dup. 

 will be used in place of Hampson's Lithomoia. 



Gortyna Ochs. (1816). 



The genus was restricted in 1822 by Hitbner to the single species 

 uricacca Esp. We imagine therefore that Grote (Ent. Rec. 1895) is 

 correct in designating this species as type and overlooking the naming 

 by Curtis, Westwood and Guenee of flavago Schiff. as type. If Grote 

 be followed Gortyna will replace Hydroccia, the type of which was 

 specified by Guenee (1852) as micacca Esp. Instead of Gortyna as used 

 by Hampson Lederer's genus Hclotropha may be employed. 



Apamea Ochs. (1816). 



The type of the genus was fixed in 1829 by Curtis as chrysographa 

 Schiff. (nictitans L. ) ; Grote's remarks (1902 Proc. Am. Phil. Soc. 

 XLJ) are hardly to the point after Curtis' action. Hampson's usage is 

 correct. 



Nonagria Ochs. (1816). 



Type designated by Duponchel in 1829 as typJi<n I llm. and Nonagria 

 will therefore replace Phragmatiphila llamp. a genus not represented
