1872. Crotch, Cist. Ent. i. GG: says Silenus (Alcides) is type, through 

 West wood, IS.) 2. 



But it was determined long before that; for Ilelius was taken in 

 181G as type of lolaus, and nothing but Silenus then remained. See 

 also Loxura. 



719. Myscelia.* 



1844. [BoisJ. in] Doubl., List Br. Mus. 88 : Orsis, Numilia (My- 



calia), Acontius (Medea). 

 1849. Boisd. in ib.. Gen. Diurn. Lep. 220 : employs it for Orsis, 



Cyaniris, Etliusa, and Antholia. 

 18G1. Feld., Neues Lep. IG: I. Orsis; IL Etliusa, Cyaniris. 

 1870. Boisd., Lep. Guat. 40: claims it as his own, and says it was 



founded on the females of Epicalia, and so should be 



dropped. 



The name, too, j^ unfortunately near Miselia (Ochs., Lep. 1816), and 

 is actually preoccupied through filyscelus (Ilubu., Lep. 1816; Heyd., 

 Arachn., 1826). See Sagaritis. 



720. Mtscelus. 



1816. Ilubn., Verz. 110: noMlis, Sebaldus, Erythus. 



1852. Westw., Gen. Diurn. Lep. 52G: the same and others. 



18G9. Ilerr.-Schaeff., Prodr. iii. 58: uses it for a large number 



of species, including nobilis and Assaricus. 

 18G9. ButL, Cat. Fabr. Lep. 2G4: employs it for nobilis and 



Assaricus. 



1870. Butl., Ent. Monthl. Mag. vii. 92 : specifies nobilis as the 



type. , 



1871. Kirb., Syn. Cat. 587 : uses it in the same sense. 



721. NAniDA. 



1871. Kirb., Syn. Cat. App. G51 : coenoides. Sole species, and 

 therefore type.

722. Nais.* 



1832-33. Swains., Zool. 111. ii. 136: Thyshe (splcndens). Sole spe- 

 cies, and therefore type. 



Subsequently used by Feldcr. But one of the synonymes of 

 Thysbe is Nais, and tlie name therefore falls ; it is also preoccupied 

 in Worms (Mull. 1771).
