156 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Chgirocampa nepji, Linn. — The type of Daphnis, Hiibn., and 

 adopted as such by Hampson, but included by Meyrick in Deile- 

 phila, Ochs. Kirby does not indicate the type of Daphnis, but 

 he places nerii first in this genus. 



(Subfamily Smerinthinje, Kirby.) 

 Smerinthus ocellatus, Linn. — The type of Smerinthus, Latr. 

 Smerinthus populi, Linn. — According to Kirby this species is 



the type of Amorpha, Hiibn., but Meyrick leaves it in Smerinthus. 

 Smerinthus tilije, Linn. — Kirby gives this as the type of 



Dilina, Dalm., and Meyrick also refers the species to this genus. 



(Subfamily Macroglossine, Hampson and Kirby.) 

 Macroglossa stellatarum, Linn. — Type of the genus. 

 Macroglossa fuciformis, Linn., and M. bombyliformis, 

 Ochsen. — The first-named is the type of Hemaris, Dalm., 

 according to Kirby, but Hampson gives scabiosce, Zell., which 

 Kirby refers, as a synonym, to H. tityus, Linn. =■ bombyliformis, 

 Auct. 



Sesiid^. 

 The eighth family according to Hampson's arrangement, but 

 other systematists place this family in Tineina. Meyrick, for 

 example, makes it the first family (iEgeriadre) in the division, 

 immediately followed by the Gelechiadse. 



Zyg^nid.^. 

 (Subfamily ZygjENin;e, Hampson.) 

 (Subfamily Anthrocerin^j, Kirby.) 



Note. — Meyrick refers this family, together with the Zeuzerida? 

 and the Heterogeneidre, to Psychina. 



Zyg^ena filipendul^, Linn. — The type of the genus Zygcena, 

 Fabr. (Hampson), but Kirby gives the same species as the type 

 of Anthrocera, Scop., and phegea, Linn., as the type of Zygcena, 

 Fabr.
