11 Giien6e's criticism of Stephens' use of this generic term is made without a knowledge of 

 the Tantamen, and hence is valueless. Stephens' writings on the Noctuidae are worthy of the 

 most careful study since, anterior to the German students, he has recognized many of the impor- 

 tant geteric characters in the family. Stephens does not, perhaps, need Vrestwood's apology 

 (Journal of Entomology, Vol. 2, p. IIS) for his treatment of this group of insects.
