"Sir. Meyrick uses this generic name in the sense of FJpioiw Guen., 

 but I think it must be jjlaced here. Hiibner placed three species, 

 obtuMarld Hiib., apici(u-la Linn, and vespertaria, under it. The spe- 

 cies were not congeneric. Guenee, not recognising Hiibner, erected 

 Epione, of which apicvtrbi is type, and with which vespertaria is 

 congeneric, and put obtufarla under his genus Endropia. The rules 

 require that (xuenee's division shall be recognized, that Epione, the 

 first genus described, be recognized as valid, ohfii-iaria thus becoming
