populi, and aceris.* 

 1850. Westw., Gen. Diurn. Lep. 270 : divides the group into two 



sections, and places both Fabricius's species in the second. 

 1861. Feld., Neues Lep. 30 : divides the group into seven sections, 



placing aceris in the first, with others, and Melicerta alone 



in the fourth. 

 1872. Crotch, Cist. Ent. i. 66: says aceris is type, through Ilorsfield 



and Westwood ; but Westwood's action certainly has no 



effect upon it. 

 Aceris, however, has belonged to Nyraphalis (q. v.) since 1823 ; and 

 hence Melicerta must be taken as the type of this group. 



* lie has also referred aceris, in the same work, to a new (unnamed) genus.
