sixty-three genera. The geuus Catocala, Schraiik (type fraxini, 

 Linn.), as here restricted, has only eighty-six species assigned to it. 

 The majority of the species hitherto referred to Catocala being 

 removed to Calahapta, Hulst (type ant'uujmpha, Drury), and 

 Ejihesia, Hiibn. (type fuhninea, Scop.). 



Eunetis, Hiibn. (type puerjiera, Giorna), Lamprosia, Hiibn. (type 

 amatrix, Hiibn.), and Eucora, Hiibn. (type ntonj/mpha, Esp.), are all 

 merged in Catocala, Schrank, but the two species last named are 

 entered and described under Mo>-riiO)iia, Hiibn. (type epione, Drury). 



Suffamosa, Guen., = retorta, Cram., is given as the type of 

 Spirama, Guen., which, together with JJi/popi/ra, Gueu. (type tri- 

 loba, Guen.), are included in Speiredonia, Hiibn. (type retorta, Linn.). 

 Some of the species referred by authors to Hijpopyra are now placed 

 in Enmonodia, Walk, (type pudeiis, Walk.), which includes Maxula, 

 AValk. (type unistrigata, Guen.), and Pijramarlsta, Kirby (type 

 rufescens, Kirby). 



Many species previously included by authors in Ophisma, Guen., 

 are now placed in Achcm, Hiibn. (type vielicerta, Drury). 



Minucia, ^oove,=. Ophiodes, Gueu. (preoc), comprises but two 

 species ; these are iviskotti, Piing., and lunaris, Schiff. (type). 

 Other species previously referred to Ophiodes are here removed to 

 Anna, Walker (iypejini fascia. Walker). 



Dl/sijonia, Hiibn. (type_;'o/.'ia/m, StoU), jS^axia,Gnen. (type ahsenii- 

 macula, Guen), Pasij^eda, Moore (type palumha, Guen.), Garanilla, 

 Moore (type onelia, Guen.), and Pindara, jMoore (type illibata, 

 Fabr.), are all sunk in Parallelia, Hiibn. (bistriuris, Hiibn.). In 

 this connection it may be noted that most of the species described 

 by authors under Opldusa are here included in Parallelia. Ophiusa 

 is a genus belonging to a later subfamily of the Noctuidae.

Deals with the remainder of Catocaliuae and also with the sub- 

 families Momiiia; and Phytometrinie. 



Of Catocalinte forty-six genera (fifteen new) and three hundred 

 and seventy-nine species are treated, thus extending the totals of 

 genera and species belonging to the subfamily to one liundred and 

 nine, and one thousand and twenty-two respectively. Tlie largest 

 genera in this section are Sofia, Guen. (53 sp.), Zale, Hiibn. (41) sp.), 

 and Mods, Hiibn. (31 sp.). 



In Mods are included Pele}nia,G\\ei\. {iy\iG phasaianoides, Guen.), 

 liemiijia, Guen. (type frtir/alis, Fubr.), Baratlui, Walk, (type dis- 

 seuerans. Walk.), an.l Gauainda, Moore (type undata, Fabr.). 



'■'■ Catephia" tdfasciata, an Australian species described bj' 

 Stephens as a British insect (111. I5rit. Eiit. Haust. vol. iii. p. 128), 

 is referred to Mods. Lnaata, Drury, is the type of Phceoci/ma, Hiibn., 

 also of Omoptteras, Boisd., atui of Jioinoptera, Gusn. All these, 

 together with Xijlin, Guen. (type setip>e.s, Guen.), are merged iu 

 Zale, Hiibn. (type horrida, Hiibn.). 



Eiiclidia, Hiibn., Tent., is rejected, and as Jlxa, Fabr., has been 

 ascertained to be the type of Euclidia, Treit., the latter name 

 will take precedence over iSi/nthi/mia, Hiibn. (AcronyctiuK, vol. ix.
