(t. lunosa, Haw.); Austramathes (t. purpurea, Butl.) ; Brachycosmia 

 (t. digitalis, Grote). 



In Cucidlia, Schrank (t. artemisia), are included FAidercea, Hb. 

 (t. asteris), Eucalimia, Hb. (t. gnaphalii), Callcenia, Hb. (t. timbratica), 

 Argyritis, Hb. (t. artemisice), and Rancora, Smith (t. strigata). 



Croceago, Schiff., which is the type of Lampetia, Curtis, and 

 Hoporina, Blanch., is fixed by Sir George Hampson as the type of 

 Xantholeuca, Stepb. (1831). Jodia, Hb., to which Stephens referred 

 croceago when sinking Xantholeuca (Brit. Mus. Cat.), is here reserved 

 for tbe North American rufago, Hb., the type and only species. 



Of the ten species included by Staudinger (Cat. Lep. Pal. 3rd ed., 

 p. 177) in Heliophobus, B., four are here placed in Leucochlcena, a new 

 genus, of which hispida, Geyer, is the type ; three other species are 

 referred to Blepharidia, Piingler, and one to Ulochleena, Led. The 

 remaining two seem not to belong to the Cucullianas at all. 



Bombycia, Hb., Tent., is rejected, and Stephens's genus of that 

 name is used for viminalis, Fab. (the type), and three other species. 



Satura, Schiff., adnata, Esp., and protea, Schiff., are associated with 

 lichenea, Hb., in Eumichtis, Hb., of which genus the last-named species 

 is fixed as the type. Protea (seladonia, Haw.) was first referred by 

 Stephens (Haust. iii. 33) to Polia, and afterwards (Brit. Mus. Cat.) 

 placed in Dichonia (Hadena, Sect. D.) ; Staudinger and others have 

 included protea in Dryobota, Led. Sir George Hampson, however, 

 gives areola, Esp., as the type of Dichonia, Hb., and furva, Esp., as 

 the type of Dryobota, Led. 



The following list of fifty British species included in Cucullianse is 

 drawn up to show not only generic changes, but also the order in 

 which they occur in the arrangement ; the number after each name 

 refers to the page in the volume. The genus Cucullia has been pre- 

 viously adverted to, so will not be further mentioned : —
