authorities regard it as congeneric. If the Tentamen be not recog^iized 

 the genus Argyunis Fabv. will hold. 



(14) Scudder selected boliiia as the type of Al>atura since Hub- 

 ner in the Tentamen had already created the genus Potamis for his. 

 If the Tentamen be disregarded Apatiira may be used in the generally 

 accepted sense and misippus, our single N. Am. species, at present 

 placed in Apatura, will fall into Hubner's genus Hypolimnas, which is 

 in accordance with most of the latest European revisions. 



(15) This is a Tentamen generic name and if the Tentamen be 

 not recognized must fall. Melitaca Fabr. cannot be used in its place 

 as the first species type is lucina L., a species falling into an entirely 

 different family {Riodinidac Grt.) One of Hubner's genera, Schocnis 

 (1816) type cinxia L. or Ciiiclidia (1816) type phocbc Schiff., may 

 possibly be used but the bounds of the genus are too poorly defined at 

 present to definitely decide the question. 



(16) Scudder places pliocbc as synonymous with athalia but the 

 two species are distinct (vide Staudinger Cat.) but congeneric. 



(17) The first species given is crodyle, an Mss. name not des- 

 cribed until must later, so the second name holds. 



(18) Both species are congeneric. 



(19) Scudder specifies the type quite arbitrarily; c. aitremn L. 

 being congeneric with cgca Cram.. Eiigonia will fall before Polygonia 

 which has priority. 



(20) With io as type the generally accepted European idea of 

 the genus Vanessa will hold unless the Tentamen be accepted when 

 Vanessa will fall before Hamad ryas; the two N. American species, 

 ;'. albiifn and californica, at present placed under Eugonia, will fall 

 into this genus in all probability. For the species at present placed 

 under Vanessa the generic term Pyramcis Hbn. (type callirhoe Mill. 

 = indica Herbst.) will again be used. 



(21) The two species are probably congeneric. 



(22) The two species are not congeneric; Anartia will fall be- 

 fore Cynthia Fabr. (1906). We cannot find a generic name valid for 

 jatrophac L. 



(23) The two species are regarded in Europe as congeneric. It 

 is doubtful, however, if californica Butl. and bredozvii Hbn. belong in 

 this genus.
