STAUDINGER AND REBEL's CATALOGUE. 287 



of Billberg's " Enumeratio," the rejection of Anosia, Hb. Tent, 

 (together with most " Tentamen " names) ; the use of Sati/nis for 

 sewde, L., instead of Hipparchia, Fb., of which latter Scucldcr believes 

 the type to be hjperantm, L. ; and the resuscitation of Aphantnpus, 

 Wllgn., for the last-named species. 



One or two obvious corrections of genera in the other families may 

 be just briefly mentioned as safe for adoption by British authors. On 

 p. 155 Epineuronia, Ebl., n. nom., is proposed for the pre-occupied 

 Ncitronia, Hb. (ncc Leach). On p. 164 Miana, Stph., is removed from 

 the heterogeneous Hadena of the 1871 catalogue ; but Mr. Grote's 

 correction of the name to Olvjia, Hb. [Ent. Rec, vi., p. 79) which is 

 disregarded, must be accorded the priority. On p. 198 the subgenus 

 (of Caradrina) Hydrilla, B., is rightly raised to generic rank. On p. 

 199 Petilampa, Auriv., is accepted for arcuosa, Haw., which is certainly 

 not a Caradrina, as it appeared (though with a query) in 1871 ; the 

 name Lampetia, Boie, used for it by some authors, was unfortunately 

 a homonym, hence the correction. On pp. 308 and 320 some of the 

 heterogeneous elements are removed from Lederer's unwieldy genus 

 Cidaria (now called Larentia, Tr."'=) by the recognition of the separate 

 genera Aathena, Hb. and I'hibalaptcri/.v, Stph., but much more yet 

 remains to be done in the same direction. 



In connection with the nomenclature of the species, we know 

 pretty well, especially from the 1871 preface, what Dr. Staudinger's 

 principles were, and it is a good deal to his credit that he allowed them 

 to be rigidly followed out in so many cases even where their application 

 produced distressing changes from the nomenclature of his earlier 

 editions. Thus we get quite correctly jiirtma, L., in place of janira, 

 L., primnlae, Esp., for /estiva, Hb., fuhninea, Scop., for i)arany}npha, 

 L., tacnialis, Hb., for albistrir/alis. Haw., riheata, CI., for abictaria, Hb., 

 bisturtata, Goeze, &nd crepuscidaria, Hh., iov the "jumble" of 1871, 

 diliitaria, Hb., for holosericata, Dup., interjectaria (B.), Gn.,''' for dihi- 

 taria, Led. ncc Hb., denotata, Hb., for cawpamdata, H.-S., inturbata, 

 Hb., for siibciliata, Gn., sannio, L. (misprinted mnio), for russida, L., 

 qnadripimctaria, Poda, for hera, L., most of the Scandinavian changes 

 enumerated in Ent. Rec, ii., p. 224, several from Tutt's " British 

 Lepidoptera," and a few others from various sources. 



* This is not a very happy change, since the type of Larentia, fixed by West- 

 wood, was chenopodiata, L. (llmitata, Scop.), while that of Cidaria, fixed by 

 Duponchel, was fulvata, Forst. 



* As interjectaria, B., was originally proposed as a purely nomenclatorial 

 correction for dilataria, Hb., nee dilutata, Bkh., it is much to be feared that it 

 cannot stand for any other species than the true dilutaria of Hiibner ; fuscovenosa, 

 Goeze, iii., 3, p. 478 (1781), should therefore be substituted for interjectaria {vide, 

 Trans. City Lond. Ent. Soc, x., p. 6-5). Goeze's name was founded upon Geoffroy's 

 " La Nervure Brune," which Werneburg (i., p. 308) very plausibly determines for 

 his Itumiliata ( = humiliata, Hfn. + interjectaria, Gn.); and as Geoffroy describes 

 the costa as " fuscous," not as red, we shall be following Guenee's rule (and 

 common-sense) in adopting it for interjectaria.
