The Guen6e and Walker types are in the British Museum. Mr. 

 Grote's type I have not seen; but have seen a number of specimens 

 named by him. Walker's species was described witliout locality and 

 in such a way as to be not readily recognizable. As Fagitana lias only 

 the one species, it must be used in preference to Mr. Jjrote's generic 

 term, under the rules. On the location of the genus I exi)ress no 

 opinion. Guenee considers it Leucaniid. Mr. Grote places it in its 

 present position on characters that seem valid to him. 



Genus PHURYS (^n.

The genera ia this series need revision. The differences between 

 Ccliptera, PJnirys, and some species of PoaphUa are difficult to make 

 out; but I have in most cases left matters as they Avere, since any 

 changes here could be only tentative and liable to further change on 

 critical study. There are, also, a number of Verzeichniss genera that 

 have not been applied, and which will probably have to be used to 

 replace one or more of the terms adoi)ted here. They are all indicated 

 in the synonymy. The speciiic unions arc all correct I believe,
