ARCTIID^. 



Nolince. 

 RoESELiA Hbn. Logotype Tinea cucullatella Linn. 



1826. Huebner, Verz. bek. Schmett. 397; togatulana, cucullatella and others. 

 1874. Grote, Bull. Buff. See. Nat. Sci. II, 152, cites cucullatella as type. 

 1900. Hampson, Cat. Lep. Phal. B. M. II, 51, cites togatiilalis as type. 



We find no objection to Grote's fixation of cucullatella as type, and 

 therefore sink this genus to Nola. The next available name for the 

 species aUied to togatulalis is Sarbena Wlk., Jn. Linn. Soc, Zool. VI, 

 137, 1862. We have not been able to consult the original description, 

 but have found no type fixations to confiict with that of Hampson, ' 

 who designates S. lignifera Wlk. and makes the name a synonym of 

 Roeselia. 



LITHOSIIN^. 



EuDESMiA Hbn. Haplotype E. ruficollis Hbn. 



1824? Huebner. Samml. exot. Schmett. II, pi. 400; ruficollis sole species 

 and therefore type. 



This genus should be used for the North American species now 

 listed under Cisthene. 



CiSTHENE Wlk. Logotype C. subjecta Wlk. 



1854. Walker, List. Lep. Ins. B. M. II, 533; trisigna, subjecta. 



1874. Grote, Bull. Buff. Soc. Nat. Sci. II, 151, cites subjecta as type. 



1892. Kirby, Cat. Lep. Het. I, 288, follows Grote. 



1900. Hampson, Cat. Lep. Phal. B. M. II, 243, cites trisigna as type. 



There is nothing contrary to the International Rules in Grote's 

 action in 1874, so we restore Cisthene to its former place, with Illice 

 in synonymy. 



Haematomis Hamps., 1900, Cat. Lep. Phal. B. M. II, 514. 



This name was spehed Haematomonis in the Check List (p. 31), but 

 neither in Hampson's text nor index does it appear in that form. 



ARCTIIN^ 



Phaegoptera, H. S. Logotype P. histrionica H. S. 



1853. Herrich-Schaeffer, Ausser. Schmett. 78, ff. 58-68; histrionica and 



other species. 

 1892. Kirby, Cat. Lep. Het. I, 212, cites histrionica as type. 



Phegopfera H. S. 



1853. Herrich-Schaeffer, op. cit. 16; no species mentioned. 



Hampson (Cat. Lep. Phal. B. M. Ill, 117) discards Phegoptera H. S. 

 as an undescribed genus and does not mention Phcegoptera. The two 

 names were doubtless intended to be the same, but the latter alone is 

 valid. It takes the place of Opharus Wlk., type procr aides (sole sp.).
