CATALOGUE OF NOCTUID^E SMITH. Ill 



Genus PSAPHIDIA Wlk. 

 1865. Wlk, V. B. Mas., Met., xxxir, 447. 



Under the title Dicopinw, the genera Dicopis, Eutolype, and Copi- 

 panolis are nionographically treated by me in the Proceedings of the 

 U. S. National Museum for 1892, A^ol. xv, pji. 52-03. All the species 

 are fully described there, and special reference to this paper is not 

 made except where necessary to authenticate a species or give autlior- 

 ity for a change. The generic term r.saphidia Wlk., must, under tlie 

 rules, replace Dicopis, though not nearly so ap[)r()priate and certainly 

 not as well described.
