Monogramma, glyphica, triqiietra, mi. Cites Hiibner's Tenta- 

 men for name and includes his type. Ochsenheimer gives no gen- 

 eric description, and yet he is constantly cited as author. Hiibner's 

 property should be restored to him. 



LITOGNATHA. 



1873. Grote, Bull. Buff. Soc. N. S., 85. 

 Nubilifascia, sole species and therefore type. 



1895. Grote, Broc. Am. Bhil. Soc, 429.

 Walker's description of the genus Hormisa, which agrees with Epi- 

 zeuxis and absolutely contradicts Litognatha. Litognatha should 

 be restored. 



ZANCLOGNATHA. 



1857. Lederer, iVi?^/. ^?^r., 211. 



Tarsiplumalis, tarsicrinalis and others. 

 1895. Grote, Broc. Am. Bhil. Soc, 424. 



Tarsiplumalis, tarsipennalis and others. Tarsiplumalis may be 

 taken as type, as stated in Buffalo Bulletin, 1874.

The chief differences between the two ancient dialects of the

 pointed out by the late Dr. Brinton {The Lendpe and their Legends, 

 pp. 9 iff.). Both these varieties of Delaware speech are still in use 

 in a modern form — the Unami-Unalachtigo by the descendants of 

 the Delawares who now occupy lands in Indian Territory, in the
