iiGuen6e's criticism of Stepiiens' use of this generic term is made witliout a Ijnowledge of 

 the Tantamen, and hence is valueless. Stephens' writings on the Noctiiidae are worthy of the 

 most careful study since, anterior to the German students, he has recognized many of the impor- 

 tant generic characters in the family. Stephens does not, perhaps, need Westwood"s apology 

 (Journal of Entomology, Vol. 2, p. IIS) for his treatment of this group of insects.
