There is no good reai>oii why these names should not stand, as observed 

 by Dr. L. Harvey as well as by Mr. Scudder,* who called the attention o(" 

 entomologists to this neglected publication. 



In 1818, Hiibnerf published the part of the ^^Verzeichnisa'' relating to 

 the J'/iahenidce, whicli are grouped under tlie name Geomefra', forming his 

 " P/iaianx quintal He divides the group into three tribes, the tribes into 

 ■stiri)s, and the latter ink) families,, genera, and species. 



Tribe I, stirps i-ii comprises the modern Gro/ncfr/inr ; .stirps iii, part of 

 Guenee's Enito/iiidce ; stirps iv contains the Uranides,i\m\ a part of the Eniio- 

 m'nuc ] stir])s v comprises the Fkloniince, some Enno?ni)ic£, and Scmiuthisa; 

 stirps vi comprises, among other genera, Lythria, Hmmatopis and Calothysarm. 



Tribe II, stirps i contains, among other genera, Codonia ; stirps ii, 

 OrthustixLs, Kkyparia, Pantliera, Bajjfria, etc. ; stirps iii comprises certain 

 Jcidali/ue and the Caberincb\ slirps iv comprises the Hiibnerian genera 

 Scoto])te/i/.i; C(d(isci(i, Ascotis, Di/scia, etc. ; stirps v comprises Cymatophora, 

 or Guenee's Boaiinidce. 



Tribe III, stirps i compris^'s the modern genera Amp)hidasys, Bisfon, 

 PhigaUa, Nyssia^ etc.; stirps ii contains Operopldcra, Oporima,Hydriomena,' 

 Trichopteryx^ the groups represented by Eupiihecia, etc. ; stirps iii includes, 

 among other genera, Me/mi/ppe ; stirps iv comprise Calocalpc, Pkrocymia, 

 etc., and Glaucopteryx ; stirps v, and last, Ockyriu. Lygris, Carsia, Lifho- 

 stegc, etc. 



From tliis arrangement it will l)c seen that Hlibner placed the Geome- 

 liincc above (>ven Urun'ui and the Ennomida; of Guenee. while his third tribe 

 is a mixture of certain of Guenee's Boarmldcc with the Larentldcc. Here
