Under Lepiodes Guenee described two species: infectaria, from 

 S. Africa, and scolopacinwla. The two species are not congeneric ; 

 iiifrcfdrid being more emphasized by being described first, and also 

 figured, is rightly the type of (juenee's genus. I therefore apply 

 Mr. Morrison's generic name to our species.
