Guende's generic term Oxydia, must, by the law of [)riority, give place to 

 Microgonia, H.S. His own genus Mucronodes, founded on two ? ¥ only, is itself 

 anterior. Herrich Schaeffer's species rhodaria, the type of Mio-ogonia, is the cJ 

 either of Guencp's ? ? , or of a closely allied form.

Cramer's figure D of apidania is most certainly the same as hispata Guen. 

 His figure C (said to be the t?) is evidently meant to represent a $ (compare 

 gastropachata) ; the sexes were probably reversed. According to Druce, I.e., " out 

 of a large variety of examples the uppersides vary infinitely, some being dark
