"A Revision of the Genera Acrolophus, Poey, and Anaphora. 



Clem. By The Right Honorable Lord Walsingham, 



M. A., F. L. S., F. Z. S., &c. " 



By C. F. Fernald, Amherst, .Ala-s. 



The above is the title of a very interesting and useful paper which 

 his lordship published in the Transactions of the Entomological Society 

 of London, and a copy of which he had the kindness to send me. 



TIksc insects have been in a complete muddle in the collections and 

 minds of our entomologists, and we owe a debt of gratitude to Lord 

 Walsingham for this timely and carefully prepared paper. 



It contains descriptions of thirty-five species (eighteen of which are 

 from the United States) and thirteen genera, forming a group which his 

 lordship raises to the rank of a subfamily with the name Anaphorince, and 

 places under the " Tmeidce." 



The introduction of three pages is followed by the following :

 substituted the name Homonymus for it.
