92 Mr. Crotch's Generic Noincnctaturc of Zejndoj^terct. 



Borkhausen, in 1788, while accepting the ordinary divi- 

 sions of LinniL'US, has called the Nyniphales Ni/nqyhcv, and 

 subdivided them into four tribes: — a. Najades ( = Nyni- 

 phalis). h. Dryades (=Argynnis). c. Haniadryades (=Me- 

 littca). d. Oreades (=:Satyrus). 



I do not see that either of these authors can be consi- 

 dered as forming genera, Ijut it is worthy of note that 

 Herbst, at that early period, had restricted Danaus exclu- 

 sively to the Fierincv.
