In 1834-5 Stephens was at liberty to select the type of Hypnthna 

 Hb., and, when he stated that Chelaria Hw. was the type of Rijpatima 

 Hb. it followed that conscriptella Hb., the type of Chelaria Hw., 

 became fixed as the type of Hypatima Hb. also. Stephens adopted 

 Chelaria Hw., sinking Hypatima Hb. as a synonym, but this was a 

 mere idiosyncracy and we must write Hypatima Hb. (1826) = 

 Chelaria Hw. (182Sj.

 In 1834-5 Stephens had a free hiuid. and when he stated that Chelaria 

 Hw^, was the type of Hypatima Hb., it followed necessarily that the 

 type of Chelaria was also the type of Hypatima, and that the two 

 genera were synonymous with a common exponent conscriptella 

 Hb. From Stephens' statement it followed also (despite his action 

 to the contrary) that the older geneonym Hypatima Hb. (1826) must 

 be adopted, Chelaria Hw. (1828) sinking as a synonym.

Haworth [Lp. Br. 526 (1828)], adopted the idionym conscriptella 

 Hb. {-^ conscripta Hw.), objecting to hilbnerella Don. "as being at 

 least the third species, which has been named after the great Lepi- 

 dopterist Hubner; but Mr. Donovan, in the place above cited F Br. 

 Ins. 11. 382. 2. 2], neither appears to have been aware of it ; nor that
