It does not appear to me that the Hubnerian generic names above 

 quoted are more barbarous or less euphonious than their synonymes. 

 With the above exceptions, and the location of a few of the species,* 

 the genera adopted by Guenee compared with those proposed and 

 employed by me, though they are somewhat differently arranged in 

 parts, — in fact, his arrangement seems based on that of the Wiener 

 Verzeichniss. 



It is beyond my province, here, to remark upon the foreign genera 

 and species, but as evidence that similar changes occur in them, I 

 shall merely draw attention to the first new species, Thyatyra (as it is 

 called, not Thyatira, vide Zool.) abrasa, Gu. No. 2, i. 12, — an in- 

 sect long known and figured in England (1840) by the name T. scrip- 

 ta, but which is not alluded to by Guenee. 



Having thus replied to the " Notes," so far as relates to the Noctu- 

 elites, — a task unwillingly and with regret forced upon me, in jus- 

 tification of my own character, as well as in deference to the credit of 



* Guenee refers to the names in Italics.
