CocHLiopoDiDiE (Limacodid;e, Kirby). 



Heterogenea limacodes, Hufn., and H. asella, Schiff. — 

 The latter species is the type of Heterogenea, Knoch, according 

 to Kirby, who changes the specific name to cruciata, Knoch. 

 The same author sinks limacodes, Hufn., as a synonym of 

 avcllana, Linn., and indicates it as the type of Apoda, Haworth. 

 Meyrick employs both genera in the same sense as Kirby, but 

 adopts Heterogeneidse as the name of the family which he refers 

 to his division Psychina. 



Liparid^: (Lymantriid^:, Hampson). 



Porthesia similis, Fuessl. — Kirby indicates this species as 

 the type of Leucoma, Hiibn. (Tentamen. p. 1), but Hampson and 

 Meyrick adopt Porthesia, Stephens. 



Porthesia chrysorrhcea, Linn. — The type of Euproctis, 

 Hiibn., a very widely-distributed genus. 



Leucoma salicis, Linn. — The type of Stilpnotia, West, and 

 Humphr. 



Ocneria dispar, Linn. — The type of Porthetria, Hiibn., 

 according to Kirby. Hampson sinks this genus in Lijmantria, 

 Hiibn., whilst Meyrick refers dispar to Ocneria, Hiibn. 



Psilura monacha, Linn. — The type of Lijmantria, Hiibn. 

 Meyrick includes this species in Ocneria, Hiibn. 



Dasychira fascelina, Linn., and D. pudibunda, Linn. — 

 According to Kirby fascelina, Linn., is the type of Orgyia, Ochs., 

 and pudibunda the type of Dasychira, Hiibn., but Hampson 

 gives antiqua, Linn., as the type of the first-named genus. 

 Meyrick places both species under Dasychira, Hiibn. 



Orgyia antiqua, Linn., and 0. gonostigma, Fb. (Linn., teste 

 Kirby). — These species are referred by Kirby to Notolophus, 

 Germ. (Syst. Gloss. Prodr. p. 35 (1812), and he indicates 

 antiqua, Linn., as the type of the genus. Hampson includes 

 Notolophus, Germ., in Orgyia, Ochs., and Meyrick employs the 

 last named for both species.

Eriogaster lanestris, Linn. — The type of Eriogaster, Germ. 

 (Prod. Syst. Lep. p. 6 (1811). 



Bombyx neustria, Linn., and B. castrensis, Linn. — The

 neustria is referable to the same genus. 



Bombyx rubi, Linn. — Kirby gives this as the type of Macro-
