The specimens which Zeller described in the ' Isis ' as Stenoma 

 (fi'iseanum, Y. (?), and again ia the ' Linnsea Entomologica ' as 

 Aniceotricha ivalchiana. Cram., are before me. They are certainly 

 not ivalchiana, Cram., which was redescribed by Walker as Grypto- 

 lechia lativittella. In the 'Horae ' Zeller revived Fabricius's name for 

 still another species from Chiriqui with greenish markings towards 

 the apex. If he Avere justified in doing this, then the species 

 known as ivalchiana (Zeller, nee Cramer) would be nameless. 

 Fabricius's description is hardly precise enough to enable one to 

 identify a species of this group with certainty, but there appears 

 to be no evidence to prove that Zeller was wrong in his first con- 

 ception of griseana, F. Moreover I now record Zeller's original 

 f/riseana from Trinidad, which agrees well with Fabricius's locality 

 " Americse meridionalis Insulis ;" and as Zeller, in 1839, limited the 

 name to this form, I think the concluding sentence of paragraph 

 15 of the Eules compiled by the German Zoological Society may 

 be held to apply with the addition of the words in brackets : " In 

 doubtful cases the decision of the author who makes the [Jii'sf] 

 separation [o/* restriction] shall be followed." 



[I add the synonymy of the species not oceun-ing in the West Indies, 

 referred to above, and have proposed a new name for Zeller's latest conception 

 oi griseana, F.
