Mr. E. Meyi'ick on the classification 



as all transitional forms occur, nor does a strict colloc- 

 ation of forms showing a particular character bring- 

 together those which are most nearly allied. Hence I 

 unite the whole into one easily defined genus. The 

 stalking of veins 4 and 5 of the hind wings is not con- 

 stant specifically, both forms occurring in different indi- 

 viduals of the same species. The genera thus merged 

 are Aporodes, Gn., Noctuomorpha, Gn., Threnodes, Gn., 

 Noctuelia, Gn., Emprepes, Ld., Anihopliilodes, Gn., Tego- 

 stonia, Z., Aeschremon, Ld.
