Cienus GL-S]A IIl)n. 

 1806. Hlibuer, Tcutameu. 



In using the term Glwa and crediting it to Hiibner, I follow Mr. 

 Grote. I am not sure that our species of Glcea are entirely congeneric 

 with the European species referred to Ccrastis or Orrhodia and therefore 

 prefer to use a distinctive term. As a matter of course, if our species 

 do prove generically distinct, Hiibner's name can not hold ; but until a 

 critical stud^^ settles these matters it will be safer to use a familiar term. 

 G.anchoceloidefi has been listed under liltynchaffrotis and Avill be found 

 replacing cupida Grt. In Can. Ent., xii, 155, Mr. Grote has listed the 

 species and divided them into named sections, which he afterwards 

 used as genera.
