  Stephens, 
  in 
  his 
  application 
  of 
  the 
  Hiibnerian 
  classification 
  to 
  our 
  

   British 
  species 
  (lllus. 
  Brit. 
  Ent. 
  Haust., 
  iv., 
  app. 
  p. 
  424) 
  maintains 
  it 
  

   in 
  its 
  original 
  form, 
  whilst 
  Zeller 
  (his, 
  1841, 
  pp. 
  756 
  etseq.) 
  also 
  keeps 
  

   the 
  Hiibnerian 
  hotch-potch, 
  but 
  sinks 
  the 
  name 
  Stenoptilia 
  as 
  a 
  synonym 
  

   of 
  Pterophorus. 
  He 
  was 
  followed 
  in 
  this 
  by 
  Herrich-Schaffer, 
  who, 
  

   however, 
  separated 
  the 
  Platyptiliine 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  group 
  as 
  Sect, 
  i, 
  leaving 
  

   a 
  very 
  mixed 
  lot 
  as 
  Sect. 
  ii. 
  Wallengren 
  isolated 
  the 
  Platyptiliine 
  

   section 
  (Kong. 
  Svens. 
  Vetens. 
  Akad. 
  Handling 
  ar, 
  iii., 
  p. 
  18) 
  under 
  the 
  

   name 
  Mimaeseoptilus, 
  his 
  grouping 
  being 
  followed 
  by 
  Staudinger 
  and 
  

   Wocke 
  (Cat., 
  2nd 
  ed., 
  p. 
  343) 
  under 
  the 
  same 
  name. 
  Meyrick, 
  

   however, 
  in 
  1890, 
  restored 
  (Trans. 
  Ent. 
  Soc. 
  Lo?ul., 
  pp. 
  487) 
  the 
  

   Hiibnerian 
  name 
  to 
  this 
  group, 
  and 
  was 
  followed 
  in 
  this 
  by 
  Hofmann, 
  

   in 
  1895 
  (Die 
  Deutsche 
  Pteroph., 
  p. 
  62), 
  who 
  gave 
  us 
  our 
  first 
  true 
  grip 
  

   of 
  the 
  group, 
  without, 
  however, 
  naming 
  the 
  separate 
  parts, 
  or 
  fixing 
  

   a 
  type 
  for 
  Hiibner's 
  genus. 
  This 
  we 
  did 
  in 
  1905, 
  dividing 
  (Ent. 
  Rec, 
  

   xvii., 
  p. 
  35) 
  the 
  Steyioptilia 
  of 
  Hofmann 
  into 
  its 
  two 
  constituent 
  parts, 
  

   and 
  naming 
  one 
  Adkinia, 
  with 
  bipunctidactyla 
  as 
  type, 
  and 
  retaining 
  

   Stenoptilia, 
  Hb., 
  for 
  the 
  group 
  of 
  which 
  pterodactyla, 
  Linn. 
  (=ptilo- 
  

   dactyla, 
  Hb.) 
  was 
  named 
  as 
  the 
  type. 
  It 
  is 
  in 
  this 
  limited 
  sense 
  that 
  

   Stenoptilia 
  is 
  here 
  used. 
  Hofmann's 
  subdivisions 
  may 
  be 
  referred 
  to 
  

   (antea, 
  p. 
  317). 
  It 
  will 
  be 
  observed 
  that 
  we 
  have 
  not 
  followed 
  these 
  out 
  

   in 
  detail, 
  as, 
  at 
  the 
  present 
  time, 
  much 
  too 
  little 
  is 
  known 
  of 
  the 
  early 
  

   stages 
  of 
  the 
  species 
  to 
  support 
  his 
  further 
  subdivision 
  on 
  imaginal 
  

   characters. 
  That 
  much 
  difference 
  exists, 
  however, 
  within 
  the 
  two 
  

   Stenoptiliid 
  genera 
  we 
  have 
  no 
  doubt. 
  There 
  is 
  no 
  real 
  need 
  to 
  

   repeat 
  the 
  comparative 
  diagnosis 
  of 
  Adkinia 
  and 
  Stenoptilia 
  already 
  

   given 
  (antea, 
  p. 
  319).
