344 Mr. Kirby's Rcvieiv of Dr. Boiscluvah 



GENUS CYDIMON. (Urania, R.) 



Boisduval maintains the distinctness of his Amphielus 

 (Aniphielus), Guen.) considered by the latter as a variety 

 of Leilus. 



GENUS NYCTALEMON. {Alcides tfc Lyssa, Hlibii.) 



The only species of Alcides described by Boisduval are 

 Orontes, and Metaurus. Argyrics, Gmel. seems to be 

 synonymous with the true Orontes, Cydnus and Liris, Feld. 

 and Zodiaca, Butl. are probably good species, and deserve 

 notice. Three species of Lyssa are described: Fatroclus, 

 Crameri, and Mancctius. The second species did not 

 require a new name, as, if it is necessary to reject Hu1)ner's 

 name Patrodaria, Zampa, Butl. has several year's priority. 

 Menatius, Hopff. is probably the same as Hector, Walk., 

 both published in 1856, and the latter not noticed by 

 Boisduval. Longicaudus, Schaufuss, is another unnoticed 

 species, but only known to me at present by name. 



GENUS COCYTIA. 



GENUS HECATESIA. 



GENUS iEGOCEEA. 



Ten species described ; and Dalman's (?) Amalthca, 

 noticed. ^. Mcenas, H. S. is probably identical with 

 Metngorista Triph(cnoid.es, Walk., altliough Herrich Schiiffer, 

 (perliaps merely by a printer's error) refers to the latter 

 species under his Flungorista Uucomclas, in which Boisduval 

 has followed him. Several species in jEgocera and other 

 genera have been described from Felder's work on the 

 Lepidoptera of the Novara, wliich, although it has long been 

 privately circulated among Entomologists, has only 

 quite recently been published. Private circulation, 

 however general, cannot Ije considered equivalent to 

 publication, and these species will therefore stand as 

 Boisduval's. Three species of JEgoccra unnoticed by Bois- 

 duval, are known to me by descrijDtion, viz. limhata, Moschl, 

 postica, Walk., and Trijjhccnoides, Wallengr. The last 

 species may possibly prove to be identical with Fervida, 

 Walk.
