Genus AcutyopEs, Hiibner. 
Verz. bek. Schmett., p. 107 (1816). 
Typical species, 4. Busiris, Cramer. 
A. mgrina, Boisd.; obscura, Hib.; Mithridates, Fabr.; pa- 
piniana, Poey ; Thraso, Hiib.; Sebaldus, Fabr.; mexicana, Feld. ; 
Melander, Cram.; Asychis, Cram.; Thrasibulus, Fabr.; sanguinalis, 
Hew. ; Velasquez? Lucas; chlorocephala, Latr.; Satyrina, Feld. ; 
Nyctineme, Boisd. ; Herennius, Cram. ; Bromius, Stoll. ; Flyas, Cramer. 
Genus Anticonus, Hubner. 
Verz. bek. Schmett., p. 108 (1816). 
Typical species, 4. Ustus, Hiibn. (Mearchus, Latr.). 
A. Nearchus, Latr.; erosus, Hiibn.; Syrichthus, Feld. ; Helias, 
Feld. ; angulatus, Feld.; Phagesia, Hew. 
The above genus is chiefly distinguished from <Achlyodes by the 
peculiar form of the wings: it is adopted by Dr. Herrich-Schaffer, 
although he rejects the far more distinct genus Helias upon the sup- 
position that Hiibner may not have figured the proper insect as 
phalenoides (the type of the Fabrician genus), but since the latter is 
a common species and presents the character of the long palpi, pointed 
out by Fabricius, it is highly probable that the insect figured by Hiibner 
is the species intended by Fabricius: Felder’s Antigonis (Nymphalina) 
is too near the above, and should be changed. 
Genus Hettas, Fabricius. 
Syst. Gloss. in Ill. Mag. 6, p. 287 (1807). 
Typical species, H. phalenoides, Hiibn. 
H. phalenoides, Hiibn.; palpalis ? Latr.; albiplaga, Feld. ; hema- 
tospila, Feld.; noctua, Dae: ; Lacena, Hew. 
The genus Helias has the general characters of <Antigonus, but 
differs in its long palpi: some of the species (4's of noctua group) 
have the hind-wings deeply dentated and scalloped. 
Genus Caprona, Wallengren. 
Kongl. Svenska Vetensk. Akad. Handl., p. 51 (1860). 
Typical species, C. pillaana, Wligr. 
C. Canopus, Trim. 
But for the antennez, which somewhat remind one of those of 
Pyrrhopyga or Telesto, this genus might have sunk into a section of the 
preceding with A. Lacena, the form of wings and general character of 
the markings being very similar to that species.
