in X. America. Scnta Steph. should apparently lie used for Xnnagria 

 as employed by Hampson (vide Grote, 6th Rep. Peab. Acad. p. 29). 



Calamia Hbn. (1822). 



This genus, erected in 1822 for the three species wrens L- />/;n///- 

 niitis Hbn. and flitxa Hbn. was restricted by Lederer (1857, Noct. Eur. 

 1>. 125) to phragmitis Hbn. and lutosa Hbn.; as the former species is 

 the only one of the original species included it virtually became type 

 in 1857 and has been employed in this sense by all later authors. With 

 phragmitis as type Calamia will replace Arenostola Hamp.. leaving 

 Luccria Hein. to be employed for Hampson's Calamia. 



Erastria Ochs. (1816). 



Type designated by Curtis in 1826 as uncaua L. The genus will 

 therefore replace Enstrotia Hbn. (type mica Schiff.) and Eininclici 

 Hbn. must be used to replace Erastria of Hampson. 



Acontia Ochs. (1816). 



Hampson's usage is apparently correct as Hiibner restricted the genus 

 to the sole species malvae in 1825 (Verz. p. 257) and the later actions 

 of Curtis, Duponchel and Guenee were therefore ultra vires. 



Euclidia Ochs. (1816). 



Type was specified by Duponchel in 1829 as glyphica L. and the genus 

 will therefore replace Gonospileia Hbn. as used by Hampson. 



Drasteria Hbn. (1818). 



The genus was first used in the Zutragc in connection with graphics 

 Him. which therefore as sole species becomes the type; it has been mis- 

 applied by Guenee for credited and allies and in this later authors 

 have concurred. 



Mocis Hbn. (1825). 



This genus was restricted by Guenee (1852) to a group which in- 

 cluded only Icviita Stoll of the original species which thus virtually be- 

 came type at this time and would replace Celiplcra Gn. as used by 

 Hampson, although the two genera may be held separate on secondary 

 sexual characters. In place of Mocis as employed by llampson 

 I'cliiinia Gn. (syn. Remiyia Gn.) must be employed. 



Colocasia Ochs. (1816). 



Type was specified by Guenee in 1852 as geographies Fabr. but in 

 view of Hiibner's restriction in the Vcrccichniss 1825 to coryli I., and 

 scoriacea Esp. Hampson's usage with cnryli as type must be held cor- 

 rect. 



Panthea Him. (is:.'.')). 



This genus, erected for the sole species cncnnhitu F.sp., will repl. 

 cru ( )chs. as used by llampson.
