APPENDIX. 



We have refrained from changing any of the family names 

 during the publication of the foregoing revision ; but certain 

 changes seem desirable. It would appear proper to alter the name 

 of a family when the genus from which it was taken becomes a 

 synonym.* On this account, principally, the following changes are 

 suggested : — 



(r) Eiichromiidce. We took this name from Kirby's Catalogue 

 (Euchromiinae, p. 117); but as Syntomid^ has been used previously 

 and is adopted by Hampson, it would seem preferable to use it. 

 However, according to Kirby, Syntomis is a synonym of Zygceiia, 

 and hence the family should be called Zygoenidse. We have felt 

 unwilling to make this change, as the name has been commonly 

 associated with such different insects (Anthroceridai, type A. 

 filipenduhe L ) 



(2) Liparida. Kirby and Hampson agree in suppressing the 

 genus Liparis. The name will be changed to Lymantriidc'e, follow- 

 ing Hampson (Moths of India, Vol. I, p. 432). 



(3) Drepanitlidce. Mr. Grote has suggested to us that this 

 should be Platypterygidse. However, as the name stands, it is 

 uniform with Kirby and Hampson. We would make it Drepanid^. 



(4) Limacodida;. Both the genera Limacodcs and CocJiUdion 

 have become synonyms. In correspondence with Prof. Comstock 

 we have concluded to call the family Eucleids. 



(5) Lagoidce. This should be changed to Megalopygidae not 

 only because Lagoa has become a synonym, but also in recognition 

 of the work of Carlos Berg (Ann. Soc. Cient. Argentina, Vols. 

 XIII— XIV).
