The name Uerrichia^ which Grote proposed for the mixed 

 assemblage under Eriopus of the United States, cannot be 

 retained lor any of the species, as it was used by Staudinger 

 for a genus of Lepidoptera in 1870. 



Hevrich-Schaffer probably compared the New-World species 

 with the type of Callopistriay and consequently came to the 

 conclusion that tliey were more delicate than the European 

 forms. Hapholophus mollissimus is so, but the others are 

 no more slender in structure than Methorasa Latreillei, As 

 regards his opinion that the American species are more nearly 

 related to Erastria {Eustrotiaoi Grote's ' Check-list'), I hold 

 tliat the Callopistriidffi are far more nearly related to that 

 genus than to Plusia.
