1G8. BiBLis* 

 1807. Fabr., HI. Mag. vi. 281 : Blblis, Leucotlioe, Nauplia, Neaerea. 

 1819. God., Encycl. meth. 825: employs it for Biblis (Thadana) and 



others. 

 1836. Boisd., Spec, gen., pi. 5 B. : uses it for Aganisa, closely allied 

 to Biblis. 

 Falls from having been named after one of the species on which it is 

 founded. See Zonaga. 



169. BiCYCLUs. 

 1871. Kirb., Syn. Cat. 47: Hewitsonii, Icclus, Italus, Zitiebi. 

 1873. lb., Zool. Rec. for 1871, 363 : specifies Hewitsonii as type. 



Correctly, since it was the type of Idiomorphus (q. v.), which this 

 supplants. 



170. BiTHTS. 



1816. Hiibn., Verz. 75: Eris (Tyrrhenus), Cupentus (Ciibentus), 

 Cethegus, Vesulus, Strephon (Sicheus, Strephon), Lydus, 

 Tephraeus, Leucopbaens, Sphinx, quercus. 

 1850. Steph., Cat. Brit. Lep. 17: uses it for quercus. 

 1858. Kirb3% List Brit. Rhop. : uses it in the same way. 

 1869. ButL, Cat. Fabr. Lep. 186 : employs it for Strephon, Cyllarus, 

 Agrippa, and Dindymus. 

 The usage of Stepliens and Kirby is indefensible, as quercus must 

 belong to Aurotis. In accordance with Butler's action, Strephon may 

 be taken as the type. 



171. Bletogona. 

 1867. Feld., Reise Novara, 465 : Mycalesis. Sole species, and 

 therefore type, as specified by Butler (Cat. Sat.). 



172. Brachtcneme.* 

 1869. Herr.-Schaeff., Prodr. iii. 52. 



No species are cited, and the name is preoccupied by Brachycnemis 

 (Schonh., Col. 1844). 



173. Brachtglenis.* 



1862. Feld., "VVien. Ent. Monatschr. vi. 73 : Esthema. Sole species, 

 and therefore type. 

 According to Folder (ib. 235), the name is preoccupied (Brachyglene, 

 Lep., Herr.-SchaefF.*). See Tmetoglene. 



* I have not been able to find any such generic name in the works of 

 Herrich-Schaeffer ; nor is Mr. A. R. Grote, to whom I referred the question, 

 acquainted with it. It is not given in Marschall's Nomenclator Zoiilogicus.
