M. Guenee says of this species : — " Ce n'est qu'avec 

 une certaine hesitation que je rapporte cette espece au 

 genre Xanthia; le seul individu que j'ai vu est en trop 

 mauvais etat pour que je puisse me prononcer definitive- 

 ment a son egard," but this gives M. Blanchard no excuse 

 for his wilful alteration of the specific name, for which 

 he gives no reason, simply quoting the X. carneago of 

 Guenee as a synonym.
