316 Mr. A. G. Butler on the 
the Bombycites could then be concluded naturally with 
Asthenia and the Uraniide, forming a passage to the 
typical Geometrites.* 
Of the position of the Pseudo-Deltoids, Deltoids, 
Pyrales, and the confused mass of families arbitrarily 
associated under the term Micro-Lepidoptera, I need at 
present say nothing, excepting that their distribution 
amongst what have been called the higher groups must 
eventually take place. 
URANIIDAL. 
Uranta, Fabricius.

M. Guenée placed this species in Urapteryx. 
Before proceeding to the next family it will be useful 
to correct some of the errors in published catalogues 
and lists. 
Cherodes transcendens of Walker, and Cimicodes 
castanearia of Moore should be placed in Mucronodes. 
* It might, however, be necessary to reverse this order on 
account of the affinity of the Geometrites to the Noctwites; thus 
the Bombycites would come after the Geometrites,
