1C8. BiBLIS* 

 1807. Fabr., 111. Mag. vi. 281 : Biblis, Leucotlioe, Nauplia, Neosrea. 

 1819. God., Encycl. melh. o2o : emidojs it fur Biblis (Thadana) ami 



others. 

 1836. Boisd., Spec, gen,, pi. 5 B. : uses it for Agauisa, closely allied 

 to Biblis. 

 Falls from having been named after one of the species on wliich it is 

 founded. See Zonaga. 



1G9. BiCTCLUs. 

 1871. Kirb., Syn. Cat. 47 : Hewitsonii, Iccius, Italus, Ziiiebi. 

 1873. lb., Zool. llec. for 1871, 3G3 : specifies Hewitsonii as type. 



Correctly, since it was the type of Idiomorphus (q. v.), which this 

 supplants. 



170. BiTnrs. 

 1816. Iliibn., Verz. 75 : Eris (Tyrrhenus), Cupentus (Cubentus), 

 Cethegus, Vesulus, StrepllOll (Sicheus, Strephou), Lydus, 

 Tephraeus, Leucopbaeus, Sphinx, quercus. 

 1850. Steph., Cat. Brit. Lep. 17 : uses it for quercus. 

 1858. Kir by, List Brit. Rhop. : uses it iu the same way. 

 1869. Bull., Cat. Fabr. Lep. 18G : employs it for Strephon, Cyllarus, 

 Agrippa, and Dhidymus. 

 The usage of Stepiiens and Kirhy is indefensible, as quercus must 

 belong to Aurotis. In accordance with Butler's action, Strephon may 

 be taken as the type. 



171. Bletogona. 

 1867. Feld., Reise Xovara, 465 : Mycalesis. Sole species, and 

 therefore type, as specified by Butler (Cat. Sat.). 



172. BRACriTCNEilE.* 



1869. Herr.-Schaeff., Prodr. iii. 52. 



No species are cited, and the name is preoccupied by Brachycneniis 

 (Schunh., Col. 1644). 



173. BnACIIYGLEXIS.* 



1862. FeLl., "W'ien. Ent. Mouatschr. vi. 73 : EstJicma. Sole species, 

 aud therefore type. 

 According to Fehler (ib. 23o), the name is preoccupied (Brachyglene, 

 Lep., Herr.-Schaeff.*). See Tnietoglene. 



* I liave not been able to find any such generic name in the works of 

 Herrich-Schaeffer; nor is Mr. A. R. Grote, to whom I referred tlie question, 

 acquainted with it. It is not given in Marscliall's Nomenclator Zoiilogicus.
