(24) Both species are S. Am. and neither appears congeneric 

 with our N. Am. species inchided at present under Clilorippe. Stichel 

 (Seitz, ^lacrolepidop. Europ Butt. p. 160) refers the N. Am. forms 

 to the genus Doxocampa (? Doxocopa Hbn.) but the type of this is 

 an Indian species, erminia Cram. 



(25) The two species are not congeneric; aclicroiita is usually 

 placed in Aganistlws = Historis Hbn. along with oclius, but we have 

 no means of determining if this is correct. 



(26) Tlie two species are probably congeneric. 



(27) The two species are evidently not congeneric. 



(28) As crippus Cram, is synonymous with picxippus L. we see 

 no reason why either Danaida Latr. or Danans Latr. should not be 

 used in place of Aiiosia Hbn. 



(29) Hypatus Hbn. will fall before Libythaea Fabr., both hav- 

 ing celtis as type. H our American species are not congeneric with 

 the European species a new generic name is apparently necessary. 



(30) The genus Apodcmia Feld. with monno as type has pri- 

 ority. Scudder rejected this as being preoccupied by Apodemiis Kaup. 



(31) Placed by Stichel (Gen. Insect.) as a synonym of Apodcmia 

 Feld. 



(32) If bctnlac be accepted as the type Thccla will supercede 

 Zcphynis Dalm. and some other generic name, possibly Lycaena 

 (type mars Fabr.), must be used for our N. Am. species at present 

 included under Thccla. Both Thccla and Zcphyrns, however, will fall 

 before Polymmatus Latr. (1805), type bctulac. 



(33) Vulcanus is an Indian species unknown to us and appar- 

 ently not congeneric with rubi. The generally accepted idea of the 

 genus Callophrys would be considerably altered by this change. 



(34) It would seem that, if necessary to divide the "coppers" into 

 various genera Chrysophanns and Hcodcs would change places, and 

 the latter probably fall before Cupido Schrank. 



(35) This would transfer the genus from the "blues" to the 

 "coppers." As, however, a careful generic revision of the Lycaenidae 

 is needed in order to determine whether a number of the smaller 

 genera, especially as they are used by certain English entomologists, 

 can stand, no great harm would follow from the change. 



(36) A Tentamen genus; if this be not accepted Scolitantidcs 

 or Lycaeides of Hubner's \'erzeichniss may be used.
