that it has any right at all under the laws of priority. Mr. Grote 
has always been a strict Hiibnerian, but now, when one of his genera 
is to be superseded, it becomes “ unjust and against the usual comity 
and practice !” 
But even suppose Hiibner’s genus should not be adopted, how can 
we get over Guenee’s genus Tamila proposed in 1852 with nundnia 
as the type? One of the very species which Mr. Grote now includes 
under Lygraathoecia ! and why, if “comity” is to be shown, should 
Boisduval’s Anthcecia be sacrificed, the very first sjiecies being Mr. 
Grote’ s present type of Lygranihcecia. To be sure the designated 
types of Anthcecia and Melicleptria are the same, but “ comity” would 
seem to re<juire that Anthcecia should be retained for some species if 
possible. And why should Hiibner be enforced against Boisduval 
and not against Grote? 
For the present I cannot see my way to the use of Lygranthcecia 
in preference to Schlnia or Tamila. 
Before describing the species of Schinia before me, an ally of 
Schinia (Trileuca) buxea merits attention. 
Trileiica, deiitalis n. sp. — Head, thorax ami primaries a bright glistenins 
lemon-yellow; transverse lines of primaries hrown. Basal half line faint. T. a. 
line well removed from base, with a long outward angle on median vein. T. p. 
line acutely angulate outwardly, the spur reaching the outer margin below the 
apex. S. t. line also with an outward angle, reaching the outer margin at the 
same point with the t. p. line. A small, geminate black dot on costa, just before 
the apex. Between the point at which the angulation of the outer lines touches 
the margin and the anal angle, a metallic coppery brown shade fills the space 
beyond the s. t. line. Secondaries pale yellow, ocherous, more whitish basally. 
Beneath yellow, powdery, immaculate, the secondaries whitish towards inner 
margin. Expands 1.40 inches; 35 mm.

A single sjtecimen from Mr. Neumoegen’s collection is before me. 
It has much the same color as buxea, but is larger, the course of the 
lines is different, and there is the cojipery brown outer shade, -which 
is distinctive. In maculatioii and color this is remarkably close to 
Guenee’s Xanthodes traiisversa from India, so close, indeed, that had 
the species been described from America I had considered the differ- 
ences within the range of specific variation.

To the kindness of Mr. Schoenborn I owe a sight of the type. It 
has the wing form, and exactly the macnlatioii of nundina, but the 
ground is ocher yellowish, the lines white, and the dark markings
