Tlie following species of butterflies, mentioned as types of genera, were nn- 

 publislied at the time of the issue of Kirby's Catalogue : — 



Tbaidina, of Armandi a (Blanch.). 1871. 

 tractipennis, Arteurotia(Butl.-Druce), 1872. 

 Liilderdali, Bliutanitis (Atkins.), 1873. 

 Juventus, Callimormus (Scudd)., 1872. 

 Leonata, Drucina (Biitl.), 1872. 

 Darwinia, Mimacrsea (Bull.), 1872. 



Poweshiek, of Oarisma (Scudd.), 1872 

 [oolitica, PalsEontiiia (Butl.), 187.3.] 

 Leda, Periplysia (Gerst.), 1871. 



Aetta, Pteronymia(Butl.-Druce), 1872. 



Keynesii, Satyrites (Scudd.), 1872. 

 Hermina, Scalidoneura (Butl ), 1871. 



ADDENDA. — (March, 1875.) 



46. Alcidis. — This name was introduced by an accidental error. Liris is not 



a buttertiy, and was not given as one by Felder. 

 152. AunoTis. — Add: 1835. Vill.-Guen., Lcp. Eur. 36: employs it for roboris 

 (Evippus). — 1862. Kirb., Man. Eur. Butt. 87 : roboris. 



256 Ws. Chortobids.* 

 List Brit. Lep. Ed. 2 : Typhon (Davus), Pamphilus. 



1859. [Gue'n. in] Doubl , 

 Fide Kirbv in litt. 



Falls before Coenonympha. 



302. CtiPiDO. — Add: 1870. Kirb., Journ. Linn. ^oc. Zoul. x. 499 : says, "The 

 true type apj)ears to be Alsus;" because, he writes me in explanation, 

 " Schrank confounds Alsus and Argiades as sexes under his Puer," the 

 name Puer being presumed to have suggested Cupido; but tliis seems to 

 me rather strained. 



305. Cyaxiris. — Add: 1835. Vill.-Gue'n., Lep. Eur. 19: employ it for Cory- 

 don, Argiolus, and others. 



492. HiEMOxiDds. — Mr. Kirliy writes me: "Cramer figures two species as 

 Cronis, one a Castnian, the otiier a Pierid. Boisduval and I take this 

 to be a case of mimicry ; but Butler considers both figures to represent 

 the Castnian." 



510. Heliochhoma. — 1870. Butl., Lep. Exot. 70: says, "The genus Helio- 

 chroma will, I think, have to sink into a section of Hesperocharis. I can 

 find no constant structural characters by whicli to separate it." 



581. Ithomia. — With regard to the text of Hiibner's Sammlung exotischer 

 Schmetterlinge, it may be remarked that the twelve species described in 

 it are all figured in the first volume, and all referred to in the Index of 

 244 plates. And inasmuch as in every case of alteration of the specific 

 name, the Index is followed, W3 may conclude the text of the Sammlung 

 to be posterior to, or most probably nearly synchronous witli, the Inde.x, 

 namely, 1822. The genus in which Dianasa is placed is spelled Eieides, 

 as in tiie Index, and not Eueides as in the Verzeichniss ; and further 

 proof that ir is later than the Verzeichniss is found in the entire absence 

 of one of the species (and its generic name) from the latter, — llelio- 

 chlaena Leucosia. 



633. LiMENiTi.'?. — Mr. Kirby writes me that the Camilla of early British authors 

 is not that of Fabricius, and cannot therefore be taken as type. But inas- 

 mucli as it was a strictly congeneric insect (Sibylla), the question is not 

 affected by this fact. 



7qo his. Ntmpha.* 



1838-9. Krause, Faun. Thur., wrapper parts 4, 5: proposes it to include all the 

 European Nymphales. IMr. Kirby, from wjiom this information is de- 

 rived, appears sometimes to write it Nympha, sometimes Nymphte. The 

 latter form would be inadmissible in a generic name, and is also given 

 earlier by Borkhausen (Eur. Schmett., Einl. xvii.) as a name for the whole 

 family. Mr. Kirby adds : " On p. 85, popvli is clearly, as I think, indi- 

 cated as type." In that case the name would fall before Xajas. 



861. Phrissur.v'. — Add: 1871. Butl., Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 171: says the 

 insect upon which he intended to found this genus was .ffigis (lUana), 

 which at the time he wrongly identified as Cynis.
