132 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Everyx Boisd. 



Having in 1865 restricted Walker's term Daraf^sa to rhodocera, I 

 should not again have used it for this genus. I abandoned my restitution 

 of Hiibner's term Otns for this genus because the term is preoccupied in 

 ornithology. Boisduval's term must stand for the species, which are 

 apparently four in number, syriacits from Asia, and choerilns, viyron and 

 pholns (W. J.) from America. 



Elibia Walk. 



To this genus Mr. Butler refers Chaerocatnpa 7'ersicolor of Harris. 



SinerinthincB. 



The genera proposed by myself are for the most part adopted. I am 

 not novv prepared to accept the extension of Calasymbolns. The follow- 

 ing change seems to be proper : 



Triptogon Brem. 



To this genus should be referred the Smcriiithus modesta of Harris. 



[Since writing the above, Mr. Butler has kindly replied to my note to 

 him conveying the substance of the foregoing remarks as to C. astyhts. I 

 feel authorized to take S. geminatus as a new generic or sub-generic type 

 under the name Eiismerinthus , differing from ocdlatus of Europe and 

 ophthalmicus of California in the shorter subcostal nervules of fore wings, 

 the angulaled external margin, while the medum vein runs close to the 

 subcostal for one-third its length ; while the median branches are shorter, 

 the wing may be seen to be markedly distinct in form. In the hind wings 

 the apices are more rounded and the outline differs by the indentation 

 before anal angle. The antennae are comparatively shorter. I am 

 indebted to Mr. Butler for sketches and notes defining this group, in 

 which I would include cer/sii, coecus and Kinderviajini^ 



Sphingincv. 



Isognathus Feld. 



Mr. Butler omits to note that I adopted this genus for rimosa and 

 congratnlans, Tr. Am. Ent. Soc, 185. I am not now in possession of any 

 of my material of the species of Dilophonota. I think that l^.Ir. Butler 

 has been rash in his conclusions, in view of the fact that he had no 

 material from Cuba before him. Boisduval adopts my identification of
