TO THE EDITOR OF THE ‘INTELLI- 
GENCER.’ 
Christ Church, Oxford, 
June 18. 1858. 
Sir, — I shall be very much obliged to 
any of your readers who will suggest 
to me the derivations of the following 
names among the Rhopalocera : — 
Daplidice, Thanaos, 
Erebia, Adippe, 
Agestis, Syrichthus, 
Alsus, Tages, 
For Erebia fysfio; has been suggested, 
because the wings are dark. In that 
case would it be Erebi'a or Ereb'ia P 
For Agestis the insertion of r would 
make a derivable word, but I do not 
believe the authors of the ‘ Wiener Ver- 
zeichniss’ intended to name the species 
Agrestis ; and aho-of, a grove, is an un- 
satisfactory solution of my next enigma. 
For Adippe Sodoffsky proposed to read 
Cydippe , but I fear this is too violent an 
alteration of Linnaeus’ name. 
For Tages I have a note that it is a 
plant, also called Flos Indiana, but I am 
not sure of my authority, nor do I re- 
member to have heard of any connection 
between the said plant and the Skipper, 
whose generic name has also defied inter- 
pretation. 
Diiplidiee is too great a puzzle for me, 
and I should be glad to have opinions 
besides my own upon Syrichthus. 
Yours sincerely, 
H. Adair Pickard, 
President Oxford University 
Entomological Society.
