APPENDIX. 387 



ihroughout not only this work, but nearly all the work^ published on the 

 European Lepidoptera since 1816. With regard to the name of the present 

 genus, as given by Hubner, it will be perceive<l, on reference to Strips VIII. 

 of his second tribe of Phalsnae, that it is his genus 509 Heracma, and that 

 his Strips IX. (corresponding nearly with my genus Arctia,) is called 

 HypercomjHB. 



Page 67. Hy.? Dominula. In Loudon's Magazine, v. vi. p. 541. f. 72, is a 

 representation of a remarkable variety of this insect, which was found near 

 Peterborough. The cream-coloured spots on the anterior wings are replaced 

 by irregular black blotches, and the posterior wings are black, with au 

 irregular red mark on each towards the centre. 



Page 77. Diaphora, being too close to Diaphorus, a previously-named 

 Dipterous genus, I shall adopt Hubner's name Cycnia.

Antenna; short, deeply pectinated on both sides at the base, and apparently 

 simple at the apex: head small: eyes globose, rather prominent: thorax 

 very robust: abdomen also robust at the base, and gradually attenuated to 

 the apex: wings completely hyaline; anterior elongate lanceolate, discoidai 

 areolet closed, and with a central longitudinal nervure ; first and fourth 

 marginal nervures furcate : posterior wings small. 



Sp. 1. Th. plumifera.'' Psyche plumifera. Ochsenheimer, v. iii. p. 176? — 

 I have very little hesitation in referring this insect to the Sphinx Ephemerte- 

 formis of Haworth : — ^geria.? Ephemerseformis of vol. i. p. 145. 



The original specimen of this remarkable insect having fallen into my 

 possession, I was induced to present a short paper to the Entomological 

 Society thereon, which paper, accompanied by a figure, will be published in 

 the second part of their Transactions.

Page S3. NuDARiA : in the description of the legs, in the generic character, 

 instead of " the two posterior joints," &c. read '' the two posterior tibiae," 

 &c.

Page 91. EuLEPiA. In the observations on the genus, it is said the " maxillae 

 scarcely larger than the head," it should have been " longer."
