In 1867 Grote (‘‘Notes on the Zygaenidae of Cuba, PartII,” loc. cit.) 
treated Heterandra disparilis Herrich-Schiaffer as generic and specific 
synonyms of his own Euscirrhopterus poeyi. He cited his names as 
published in July 1866 and Herrich-Schaffer’s in September of that 
year. Since that time most authors have utilized Huscirrhopterus 
Grote or one of two misspellings of the name and also the specific 
name poeyi. Grote did submit part I of the paper for publication on 
February 12, 1866. Grote’s cited date of publication was apparently 
based on the printer’s date on the lower right corner of the first page 
of each signature of the paper. Brown (1964, Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc., 
vol. 89, nos. 3, 4, p. 308, a paper on the dates of publication of the 
parts of the six volumes of the ‘Proceedings of the Entomological 
Society of Philadelphia’) states that the earliest date of publication 
of number 2 of volume 6 (pp. 153-252) was March 4, 1867. According 
to Brown (1964, p. 306), the authors of articles published in this 
journal received 50 author’s copies as each separate was printed. 
When the author had received all of the signatures containing his 
article, he was at liberty to distribute them. On the other hand, the 
society did not distribute such articles to the members and subscribers 
until all the signatures of a number had been printed, collated, and 
stitched. Brown considers that ‘‘the earlier dissemination by the
