I took in the Vienna Museum some years ago concerning P. fuli- 
ginosa Schiner from South-America makes me suspect that it is an 
Eriocera, rather than a Penthoptera. 
Section VI Amalopina. 
Since the discovery of the true position of Polymera the passage 
in my Monogr. etc. IV, p. 260 concerning that genus must be 
struck out.

Analopis has been found in Europe, North America and 
Australia. I have shown (l. ce. p. 265) that Tricyphona Zett. (syn. 
Bophrosia Rond.) should not be separated from Amalopis. Tri- 
cyphona was established on a character of an altogether secondary 
importance, an open discal cell, which does not occur in most species 
of the same relationship. It was Haliday who pointed out one of 
the leading characters of this generic group and the generic name 
proposed by him must prevail. Trieyphona (syn. Bophrosia Rond.) 
has no claim to priority because its definition is applicable to 7. 
immaculata only, and not to the majority of the species of Ama- 
lopis. The larvae of A. Schineri and A. (Trieyphona) immaculata 
are almost undistinguishable, according to Beling, Verh. Z. B. Ges. 
1878, p. 47. The synonymy of Nasiterna Wallengr. is based on 
the fact that the typical species ZL. varinervis Zett., which I have 
never seen, I judge from Zetterstedt’s description to be an Amalopis 
(compare what I said about it in Monogr. etc. IV, p. 264). Unfor- 
tunately Mr. Wallengren, in describing the venation, uses a termi- 
nology of his own, which renders his definitions very obscure.
