NOTES ON DR. BUCKELl's PAPER ON 0LAS81FI0AT10N, 7 



Dr. Buckell makes no allusion to Hiibner's Tentamen. This is a 

 mere two-jjage list of genera with types, but is useful as fixing types. 

 It appears to me to have been issued about 1810, for it contains one 

 name, apparently adopted from the Systema Glossatorum of Fabricius, 

 published in 1807. It is more likely that Hiibner copied the name 

 from Fabricius than that Fabricius co})ied it from Hiibner. 



No difficulty can exist in determining the type of Latreille's Satyrus, 

 as Satynis or le Satyre is used as the name of megcera by many of the 

 old authors. 



I am a little doubtful about the date of publication of the ninth 

 volume of the Edinlmrgh Encyrloj)(edia, in which Leach's important 

 article appeared. The date usually given is 1815, but the volume is 

 dated 1819, a discrepancy which I have not as yet been able to clear 

 up. The book may have been issued in parts. 



One or two works not noticed by Dr. Buckell may be named. In 

 1857 Wallengren, in his Lepidoptera Scandinavue Bhopalocera, divided 

 the Swedish butterflies as follows : — 



PAPILIONES. 



Tetrapodes. 

 Satyroidai : — Ccenonymplia, Pararye, Aphantopus ( hyjjeranthus ), 

 Epinephele, Safyims, [^Chionohas, not Brit.], Erebia. 



Nymphalides : — Limenitis, Melitcea, Argynnis, Vanessa. 



Hexapodes. 

 Heliconidcs : — Colias, Goniopteryx, Leucophasia, Anthocharis, Pieris, 

 Aporia. 



Parnasii: — Doritis (=; Parnassius). 

 Equites : — Papilio. 



Lyccenides : — Zephyrus ( quercus, betulai ), Thecla, Polyommatus, 

 Lyccena. 



Heteropodes. 

 Erycinides : — Hamearis (luctna). 



HESPEEIOID^. 



Heteropteriis, Hespena, Syrichtus, Tlianaos. 



In 1860 Zebrawski, in a work on the Lepidoptera of Cracow, 

 proposed the following arrangement, which, so far as I know, is quite 

 unique: — SphingidcK, Noctuidce, Boinhycidie, Papilionidd;, Geometridce, 

 Pyralioidce, TortricidcB, Pterophoridce, Tineidce. The Papilionidie are not 

 sub-divided except into genera as. follows : — Doritis (= Parnassius), 

 Pontia (= Pieris), Melargus (galathea), Pararga, Hipparchia, Erebia, 

 Satyrus, Apatura, Limenitis, Vanessa, Argynnis (includes the Melitseas), 

 Hesperia, Chrysophanus, Lyccnna, Thecla, Colias, Gonepteryx, Papilio. 

 As 1 cannot read his Polish, I cannot explain his reasons for this 

 arrangement. 



Finally, Schatz and Rober, in their comjianion volume on genera to the 

 great work on Exotic Butterflies by Dr. Staudinger (1885-92) distribute 

 the families as follows : — Papilionidce, Pieridce, Danaidce, \_Nectropida;'],* 

 \_Acr0eida3'], [Ileliconidie^, Nyrnphalidce, [_3Iorphida;^, [^Brassolidce'}, 

 Satyridce, \_L%bytheidce], Erycinidce, Lyccenidce, Hesperidce. 



* The families within brackets have no British representatives.
