346 THE entomologist's record. 



founded on Gladbach seems also to have priority — (Caradrina) octorfe- 

 naria, Goeze, iii., 3, p. 227 (178l) = «/.s/»('.s, Brahm (1791); hermclina, 

 Goeze, p. 227, used by Kirby to supplant {Cerura) bifida, Brahm, and 

 cited by Staudinger with query, needed no query, but it turns out to be 

 a homonym, and therefore invalid, Goeze having another Noctiia 

 Jieniielina on p. 207 { = Trichnsia liidijica, L.). 



On p. 26, Poh/i/onia c-albion, gen, aest. hiitchinsoni, Robson, " p. 

 110 " should be added to the reference. 



On p. 32, var. d of Melitaea anrelia should surely be called varia, 

 Lampa (1885), not nnrvegica, Auriv. (1889) ? 



On p. 46, i/lanalis, Esp. (cir. 1805, iiec " ante 1800 "), being 

 homonymous with t/lacialifi, Schr., should be supplanted by alectn, Hb., 

 which, moreover, is perhaps prior ? 



On p. 92, the name Jiava, Briinn., in Pontopp. Danske Atlas, i., p. 

 685 (1763) should supplant thataiias, Hfn. ; the determination has 

 never been questioned. 



On p. 100, j\li)))as, Hb., should be used for Sphinx tiliac, L. ; it 

 seems to have been overlooked that Dalman's own selected type of his 

 Dilina was S. ocellata, L., and that it is therefore a synonym of 

 Sinerinthu!i, Latr, 



On p. 103, Cliaerocawpa is a mis-spelling of Choerocauijia, which 

 Duponchel published correctly with the oe diphthong. 



On p. 104, Macrof/lossHm is Scopoli's original spelling, and must 

 be followed on Staudinger's own rules. 



On p. 109, under Xotodonta i^hoehc, Siebert, 1770 is a misprint for 

 1790. 



On p. 131 the name Colncasia is wrongly attributed to Hiibner ; it 

 is Ochsenheimer's, but whether traced through Hiibner's restriction or 

 through Samouelle's type-citation it became indissolubly associated 

 with con/li before Ih'inas was created and must of necessity replace this 

 latter. 



On p. 137, ab. suhseqna, Hb. (of At/mtis orhona, Hfn.) must be 

 transferred to cornea, Hb. ; vide Tutt, " Brit. Noct.," ii., pp. 93-91, 96, 

 on conaequa, Hb., which is the same form. Neither subucqua nor 

 conseqiia, however, is the right name for it; for it is neither the siibseqiia 

 of Schiffermiiller [teste Ochs.) nor of Esper, and Hiibner corrected the 

 name of his var. to interpoaita (Beitrdije, VerbeaxerniKjen, p. 32, 1789 ?) 

 before he published it as conscqua in the Saiiiwlini;/. But, further, this 

 name interjiosita is prior to comes itself, and if Snellen be not followed 

 in giving Staudinger-Rebel's species no. 1154 as siibseqna, Esp. (with 

 ab. interjiosita, Hb.), then the only alternative is to give it as inter posita, 

 Hb., with the common form as ab. comes, Hb. 



On p. 140, the name .vantluxjrapha should read xantoiiraplia, if it is 

 to be attributed to Fabricius ; but Schilfermiiller, who originally 

 published it, spelled it correctly with the tli. 



On p. 144, species 1273 and 1276 are wrongly-named, so far as can 

 be made out from the evidence here adduced, for birivia, Hb., 42 would 

 take precedence of birivia, Hb., 631, and also of helcetina, B. ; but the 

 name biriria really originated with Schiffermiiller, and the complication 

 here again shows the evil of not indicating its first source. 



On p. 154, the name (jlottiila, Gn. (1837) is reinstated in place of 

 Jhit/n/s, Hb., Stgr. Cat., ed. ii. This seems to be because Glottula 

 was isotypical, Ihitlnjs heterotypical ; but on a rigid historical method
