none of the lists stated the reason for a change of name, or whether the 
discarded name was supplanted by a prior one, or found to refer to a different

With reference to Mr. Lewis’s criticisms on recent changes in the 
arrangement of British Lepidoptera, Mr. Briggs remarked that Mr. New- 
man, in his ‘ Natural History of British Moths,’ had united Tapinostola 
Bondii and Miana arcuosa into a genus termed Chortodes, giving no 
reason for this change excepting Mr. Doubleday’s “approval.” Mr. Briggs 
had examined the palpi of these two species, and found they were very 
dissimilar; he considered, therefore, that this union of the two into a 
special genus was unnatural.
