Note 3. — In investigating tho fiynonomy of the genus Apamea, I find that 

 under its restriction by Lederer it contains one of the original species : testacea. 

 Tiiis niiglit he considcired as the ty[)e of th(t genus. But tentacca is also in- 

 cluded by Boisduval, in 1820, in his genus Luperina, which must be regarded 

 aa a disintegration of Apamea, although its distinguished author seems to re- 

 gard it as synonymous. Whether the terms Luperina or Apamea prevail for 

 Apamea Led., a new name is necessary for Luperina Led., which contains none 

 of Boisduval's original species of Luperina. For this genus I propose the 

 name Ledereria {Luperina Led., non Boisd.) As yet I know no American 

 species of Apamea (in scnsu Led.) or Ledereria {Luperina in sensu Led.).
