Tlie following species of butterflies, mentioned as tj'pes of genera, were un- 

 published at the time of the issue of Kirby's Catalogue : — 



Poweshiek, of Oarisma (Scudd.), 1872 

 [oolitica, Piilasontina (Bull. ), 1S73.] 

 Leda, Periplysia (Gerst.), 1871 



Aetta, Pteronyinia{Butl.-Druce), 1872. 



Reynesii, Satyrites (ScudJ.). 1S71!. 

 Ilermina, Scalidoneura (Butl ), 1871. 



Tbaidina, of Armandia (Blanch.), 1871.

ADDENDA. — (March, 1875.) 



46. Ai.ciDis. — This name was introduced by an accidental error. Liris is not 



a butterfly, and was not given as one by Felder. 

 152. AuroTis. — Add: lbo5. Vill.-Ciuc-n , Lop. Eur. 36: employs it for robori.^ 

 (Evippus). — 18G2. Kirb., Man. Eur. Butt. 87 : roboris. 



256 Ws. CaoRTOBics.* 



1859. [Gucn. in] Doubl , List Brit. Lep. Ed. 2 : Typhon (Davus), Paniphilus. 

 Fide Kirby in litt. Falls before Coenonynipha. 



302. CupiDO. — Add: 1870. Kirb., Journ. Linn. Soc. Zool. x. 499 : says, "The 

 true t_ype appears to be Alsus;" because, he writes me in e.xjjlanation, 

 " Schrank confounds Alsus ami Argiades as sexes under his Pucr," liie 

 name I'uer being presumed to have suggested Cupido ; but this seems to 

 me rather strained. 



305. Cyanikis. — Add: 1835. Vill.-Gue'n., Lep. Eur. 19: employ it for Cory- 

 don, Argiolus, and others. 



492. HiEMOxiDES. — ?ilr. Kirby writes me: ''Cramer figures two species as 

 Cronis, one a Castnian, tiie otiier a Pierid. Boisduval and I take this 

 to be a case of mimicry ; but Butler considers both figures to represent 

 the Castnian." 



510. Heliochhoma. — 1870. Butl., Lep. Exot. 70: says, "The genus Helio- 

 chroma will, 1 think, have to sink into a section of Hesperocharis. I can 

 find no ccinsiant structural characters by ".vliicli to separate it." 



581. Ithomia. — With regard to the text of Iliibner's Samndung exotischer 

 Schmotterlinge, it may be remarked that the twelve species described in 

 it are all figured in tiie first volume, and all referred to in the Index of 

 244 plates. And inasmuch as in every case of alteration of the specific 

 name, the Index is followed, we may conclude the text of the Sammlung 

 to be posterior to, or most probably nearly synchronous with, the Index, 

 namely, 18-2. The genus in wiiich Dianasa is placed is spelled Eieides, 

 as in the Index, and not Eueides as in the Verzcichni.-s ; and further 

 proof that it is later than the Verzeichniss is found in the entire nbsenie 

 of one of the species (and its generic name) from the latter, — llelio- 

 chlaena Leucosia. 



633. LiMicNiTis. — Mr. Kirby writes me that the Camilla of early British authors 

 is not that of Fabricius, and cannot therefore be taken as type. But inas- 

 much as it was a strictly congeneric insect (Sibylla), the question is not 

 atlected by this fact. 



755 6(s. NvsiriiA.* 



1838-0. Krause, Faun. Thur., wrapper parts 4, 5 : proposes it to include all tlie 

 European Nymphales. Mr. Kirby, from whom this intormation is de- 

 rived, appears sometimes to write it Xympha, sometimes Nvniplia;. The 

 latter form would be inadmissible in a generic name, and is also given 

 earlier by Borkhausen (Eur. Schmett., Einl. xvii.) as a name for the whole 

 family. "Mr. Kirby adds: "On p. 85, po/>iili is clearly, ns I think, imli- 

 cated as type." In that case the name woidd fall be'ore N:ij:i8. 



861. Purissi-ra'. — Add: 1871. Bull., Trans. Ent. Soc. Loud. 171: says the 

 insect upon which he intended to found this genus was .ZGgis (lllana), 

 which at the time he wrongly identified as Cynis.
