182 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



other species included in the genus is M. psidii, Salle, from 

 Mexico and Central America. Meyrick places rubi, Linn., in 

 Eriogaster, Germ. 



Bombyx queecus, Linn., and B. trifolii, Esp. — Kirby refers 

 both these species to Lasiocampa, Schrank. (Fauna Boica, ii. (2) 

 pp. 147, 154 (1802), and indicates the first named as the type 

 of the genus. Ten named forms of quercus and seven of trifolii 

 are enumerated. Meyrick also adopts Lasiocampa. 



Odonestts potatoeia, Linn. — Hampson retains this species 

 as the type of Odonestis, Germar, but Kirby considers Bombyx 

 pruni, Linn., to be the type of that genus, and refers potatoria to 

 Philudoria, Kirby = Odonestis, Steph. & Walk. 



Lasiocampa queecifolia, Linn., and L. ilicifolia, Linn. — 

 The first named is the type of Gastropacha, Ochs. Kirby refers 

 ilicifolia to Phyllodesma, Hiibn., of which genus he indicates 

 Las. suberifolia, Dup., as the type. 



Endeomiidje. 

 Kirby includes Endromis versicolor', Linn., in Bombycidae, and 

 it is the only representative of the family, as now restricted, 

 occurring in Britain. If Hampson, however, is followed, and 

 EndromiidaB allowed to rank as a separate family, we have no 

 example of Bombycidse in this country, or even in Europe, unless 

 we count B. mori, Linn., which is the type of the genus Bombyx, 

 Linn., and which, I believe, occurs in a semi-wild state in the 

 South of Europe. Meyrick refers the family (Endromididae) to his 

 division Lasiocampina, in which he also includes "Drepanidse." 



Deepanulid^. 

 Deepana, Schrank, = Platypteeyx, Laspeyres. — Hampson 

 gives falcataria, Linn., as the type of Drepana, Schr., but 

 Kirby includes this species together with harpagula, Esp., 

 cultraria, Fab., and binaiia, Hufn., in Platypteryx, Lasp., and 

 indicates the latter species as the type of the genus. The type 

 of Drepana, according to Kirby, is glaucata, Scop, (spinula, 

 Schiff.), which most authors, including Hampson, consider to 

 be the type of Cilix, Leach. Falcaria, Haworth (Lep. Brit. ii. 

 pp. 147, 152 (1809), is adopted by Kirby and Meyrick for lacerti- 

 naria, Linn. ; and the last-named author also includes falcataria, 

 Linn., in Haworth's genus, whilst he refers harpagula, binaria, 

 and cultraria to Drepana, Schr. 



DicEANURiDiE (Notodontid/e, Hampson and Kirby). 



Diceanuea, Latreille, = Ceeuea, Schrank. — Hampson gives 

 vinula, Linn., as the type of Dicranura, Boisd. (Latr.), and/iw- 

 cula, Schr., as the type of Cerura, Schr.,= Harpy ia, Ochs. Kirby
