344 Mr. ICirby's Bcvuiv of Dr. BoisduvaVs 



GENUS CYDIMON. (Urania, i.) 



Boisduval maintains the distinctness of his Amphidus 

 (AnipliiJhis), Gu(^n.) considered by the latter as a variety 

 of Leilus. 



GENUS NYCTALEMON. (Alcidcs & Ly$sa, Hiibn.) 



The only species of Alcides described by Boisduval are 

 Orontcs, and Mdaurus. Argyrils, Gmel. seems to be 

 synonymous with the true Orontes, Cydnus and Liris, Feld. 

 and Zodiaca, Butl. are probably good species, and deserve 

 notice. Three species of Lyssa are descril^ed : Fatrodus, 

 Crameri, and M^nmtius. The second species did not 

 require a new name, as, if it is necessary to reject Hiibner's 

 name Patrodaria, Zamjm, Butl. has several year's priority. 

 Men\tius, Hopff. is proliably the same as Hector, Walk., 

 both published in 185G, and the latter not noticed by 

 Boisduval. Longiccmdiis, Schaufuss, is another unnoticed 

 species, but only known to me at present by name. 



GENUS COCYTIA. 



GENUS HECATESIA. 



GENUS ^GOCEKA. 



Ten species described; and Dalman'sU?) AmaWiea, 

 noticed. ^. Mccnas, H. S. is probably identical with 

 Metngorista Triphmnoides, Walk., altliough Herrich Schaft'er, 

 (perhaps merely by a printer's error) refers to the latter 

 species under his Pha:goriMa Uucomdas, in which Boisduval 

 has followed him. Several species in ^gocera and other 

 genera have been described from Felder's work on the 

 Lepidoptera of the No vara, wliich, although it has long been 

 privately circulated among Entomologists, has only 

 ([uite recently been published. Private circulation, 

 however general, cannot be considered equivalent to 

 publication, and these species will therefore stand as 

 Boisduval's. Three species of jEgocera unnoticed by Bois- 

 duval, are known to me by description, viz. limhata, Moschl, 

 postica, Walk., and Triphccnoidcs, Wallengr. The last 

 species may possibly prove to be identical with Fervida, 

 Walk.
