tanaceti, scrophiilariw, linariic, lactncce, iimhratica. [It is to this 

 "family," that the generic term must be applied and the type sought, 

 since Schrank's translation of the term: ** Munchseule," and his re- 

 ference to the hooded collar sufficiently indicate his purpose which falls 

 in with the modern use of the term.] Fam. H: exsoleta, petrificata, 

 margodea, putris rhizolitha, perspicillaris. 



1816. Ochsenheimer, Schm. Eur. IV, 87. — Spectabilis, gnaphalii, 

 abrotani, absinthii, artemisice, argentina, lactea tanaceti, draaincidi, um- 

 bratica, chanwmillcB, lactiica^, lucifiiga, aster is, verbasci, scrophiilarice. 

 [This restriction accords with the above statement, that a "hooded 

 owlet" must be the type of Cue 11 Ilia. Tribonophora Hubn. 181 1 

 (type : umbratica^ is referred by Ochsenheimer as a synonym.] 



181 5. Hiibner, Verzeichniss, 246. — verbasci, scrophiilarice. [This 

 restriction is most useful and enables us to fix the type ; which is one 

 of the group with uneven fringes.] 



1874. Grote, List N. Am. Noct. 28. — Designates verbasci as type.

1802. Schrank, Faun. Boic. II, 158. — [Refers here his "familes"] 

 M. and N., I, 348 et seg., and translates his term by: Triibeule. 

 Fam. M. ; typica, chenopodii, atriplicis, pnecox, pisi, oleracea, hordei, 

 {dealt rata), xanthographa, piniperda. Fam. N. : liicipara, ciicubali. 



18 1 6. Ochsenheimer, Schm. Eur. IV, 71, cites Hadena Schrank 

 and includes 28 species, fully as dissonant as Schrank's material, some 

 with hairy, some with naked eyes. But he excludes every species 

 cited under Schrank's family M, and includes both liicipara and ciicu- 

 bali with Schrank's family N, thus restricting the genus in this sense. 

 Henceforth either lucipara or ciicubali must be type. 



18 18. Hiibner, Verzeichniss, 216. — Includes among seven species, 

 of the two only ciicubali, leaving out lucipara ; thus, from 18 18, cucu- 

 hali is virtually the type. Typica was excluded in 181 6. 



1895. Grote, Ent. Rec. VI, 78. — Recounts the above and desig- 

 nates ciicubali 2.% the type. [The genxxs Diantha:cia Boisd. thus be- 

 comes apparently identical, since its type seems not separable on struc- 

 tural grounds, though cucubali, the "genuine Triibeule," is hardly 

 a typical Diantha'cia. It is instructive to see, in general early litera- 

 ture, a tendency to use Hadena rather for a hairy eyed type. In an 

 old collection, named at least nearly sixty years ago, made in Hilder- 

 heim, I find every species of Z>/<j;«///av/a is ticketed "Hadena" among 

 them cucubali.
