* Not in Treitschke's continuation of Ochsenheimer : usually confounded 

 with A. Euphorbia. (C.)

 whereby to distinguish the Diphtherae ! 



X This applies only to D. ludijica, and Orion : in D. Ccenobita the an- 

 tenna; of the male, according to Duponchel, is bipectinated ; those of the 

 female, filifcrni. 



^ In his sketch of the Genera, in the 4th volume, Ochsenheimer has an- 

 nounced a genus by the name of Colocasi a, to receive two species, B.Coryli, 

 Linn, and (ico^raphica. Fab. {B. Sericina, Hiibn.) which his successor 

 M. Treitschke has rejected, referring the first species to the genus Orgyia, 

 and the second to that of Gastropacha. Mr. Stephens seems to differ from 

 M. Treitschke in his idea that these two species should not form a distinct 

 genus, and accordingly he adopts Ochsenheimer's views: "the crested
