The nnine Ucrrichia^ which Grote pro))osecl for the mixed 

 asseniblap;e under Eriopus of the United States, cannot be 

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

 for a genus of Lepidoplera in 1870. 



Ilerrich-Schtiffer probably compared the New-World species 

 with the type of Callojnstria ^ and consequently came to the 

 conclusion that they were more delicate tiian the European 

 forms. IJafloolophus moUissimus is so, but the others are 

 no more slender in structure than MetJwrasa Lutreillei. As 

 regards his opinion that the American species are more nearly 

 related to Erastri'a [Eustrotiaoi Grote's ' Check-list'), I hold 

 that the Callopistriid?e are far more nearly related to that 

 genus than to Plusia.
