Genus Anosia. 



Anosia^, Hiibner, Verz. bek. Schmett. p. 16 (1816). 



' Hiibner's first species of Anosia (archippus, Cram. pi. 16. f. a, h) is con- 

 generic with the species of his genus Callianira (Hiibu. Verz. p. 38) ; and 

 his second species \misipims, Linn.) is referable to his genus Esoptria (Hiibu. 

 p. 45), both of which species were placed in the genus Anosia by Hiibner, 

 owing to their resemblance to the others. The consequent exclusion of these 

 two species from the genus thus necessarily hmits it to the remainder ; 

 his third species {jnenippe) therefore becomes the type. Hiibner's own action, 

 in subsequently using the generic name for a conspecific insect, fixes this third- 

 cited species as the type.
