  *It 
  will 
  be 
  observed 
  that 
  in 
  several 
  citations 
  in 
  this 
  paper 
  from 
  Dr. 
  Packard, 
  his 
  late 
  

   generic 
  references 
  have 
  not 
  been 
  followed, 
  as 
  T 
  cannot 
  regard 
  the 
  lists 
  of 
  Hubner 
  as 
  of 
  

   any 
  authority 
  in 
  nomenclature. 
  I 
  fully 
  concur 
  in 
  the 
  opinions 
  so 
  unequivocally 
  expressed 
  

   by 
  Guenee, 
  Dr. 
  Speyer, 
  Wallace, 
  Dr. 
  Boisduval 
  (see 
  Canad. 
  Bntomol. 
  8, 
  p. 
  117.), 
  Dr. 
  Hagen, 
  

   Edwards 
  and 
  other 
  leading 
  entomologists, 
  that 
  catalogue 
  names 
  (as 
  were 
  Htlbner's), 
  have 
  

   no 
  just 
  claim 
  for 
  precedence 
  over 
  those 
  of 
  properly 
  defined 
  generic 
  and 
  other 
  groups, 
  

   and 
  that 
  the 
  attempt 
  to 
  introduce 
  them 
  in 
  nomenclature 
  can 
  result 
  only 
  in 
  confusion 
  and 
  

   other 
  serious 
  evils. 
  

  

  Among 
  these 
  catalogue 
  names 
  of 
  Hubner, 
  " 
  still-born" 
  (Guenee) 
  more 
  than 
  three 
  score 
  

   and 
  ten 
  years 
  ago, 
  recently 
  galvanized 
  into 
  life, 
  and 
  for 
  which 
  Dr. 
  Packard 
  stands 
  

   sponsor, 
  are 
  the 
  following 
  from 
  the 
  Tentamen 
  : 
  Epirrita, 
  Petrophora, 
  Rheumaptera, 
  Hy- 
  

   dria, 
  Cymatophora; 
  and 
  from 
  the 
  "Verzeichniss" 
  a 
  few 
  years 
  later: 
  

  

  Ochyria, 
  Operophtera, 
  Semiothisa, 
  Calothysanis, 
  Therina, 
  

  

  Philereme, 
  Perconia,
