BRITISH LEPIDOPTERA-HETEROCERA. 183 



merges Harpyia and Dicranura in Centra, but does not indicate 

 the type. He sinks bifida, Hiibn., as a synonym of hermelina, 

 Goeze (Beytr. Ins. iii. (3), p. 277 (1781), and refers bicusjris, 

 Steph., and latifascia, Curt., to C. lanigera, Butl., instead of to 

 furcula, Linn., of which species the insect figured by Stephens 

 and that described by Curtis are, by some entomologists, con- 

 sidered to be forms. C. lanigera is from Japan, and may be a 

 distinct species, but possibly it is only a local form of C. bifida 

 = hermelina. 



NOTODONTID^. 



Lophopteryx camelina, Linn., L. cuculla, Esp., and 

 L. carmelita, Esp. — The first named is the type of the geuus, 

 but Kirby changes the name to L. capucina, Linn. ; L. cuculla, 

 Esp., he also changes to L. cucullina, Den. and Schiff. ; and 

 carmelita he removes, as the type of the genus, to Odontosia, 

 Hiibn. Meyrick adopts the latter genus for all three species, but 

 does not change the specific names. 



Notodonta bicolor, Hiibn. — Kirby places this species as 

 bicoloria, Den. and Schiff., in Microdonta, Duponchel ; but as 

 this name is preoccupied in Coleoptera, Staudinger changes it 

 to Leucodonta and Meyrick to Hierophanta. 



Notodonta dict/ea, Linn., and N. dict^eoides, Esp. — 

 Changed respectively by Kirby to Pheosia tremula, Clerck., and 

 Pheosia gnoma, Fabr., the first named being indicated as the 

 type of Pheosia, Hiibn., = Leiocampa, Steph. Hampson also 

 gives dictcea, Linn., as the type of Pheosia, Hiibn., in which he 

 merges HopUtis, Hiibn. — Type milhauseri, Fabr. 



Notodonta dromedarius, Linn. — The type of Notodonta, 

 Ochs., —Peridea, Steph. The following are also included in this 

 genus: N. ziczac, Linn., N. trilophus (tritophus), Fab., Esp. 

 (fig. 3), N. trepida, Esp., and N. torva, Hiibn. Kirby sinks 

 tritophus (trilophus) in N. phcebe, Scriba (Beitr. Ins. p. 18, pi. 2, 

 figs. 1, 2 (1770) ; merges trepida in N. anceps, Goeze (Beytr. Ins. 

 iii. 3, p. 207 (1781) ; and revives tritophus, Esp. (Schmett. iii. 

 p. 299, pi. 60, figs. 1, 2, wee fig. 3 (1786), for torva, Hiibn. (Bomb., 

 text, p. 108 (1800). 



Notodonta chaonia, Hiibn., and N. trimacula, Esp. — The 

 last named is the type of Drymonia, Hiibn., = Chaonia, Steph., 

 according to Kirby, who also includes chaonia in the genus, but 

 sinks it in D. ruficornis, Hufn. (Berl. Mag. ii. p. 424 (1766). 

 The species placed by Stephens in his genus Chaonia are 

 roboris, Fabr., = chaonia, Hiibn. (Ent. Syn. List) = ruficornis, 

 Hufn. (Kirby) ; and dodonea, Wien. Verz., = trimacula, Esp. 

 (E. S. L.). Meyrick includes these species, and also dictceoides, 

 dictcea (trcmida), and trepida in Drymonia.
