This Avork forms vol. x. of the Report of the United States Geological 
Survey of the Territories, under charge of F. Y. Hayden. It is probably the 
most elaborate treatise ever published on any group of Lepidoptera. The 
synonymy, anatomy, natural history, mimicry, geographical distribution, 
bibliography, and every point connected with the species are very fully 
discussed. The classification adopted is based upon that of Gu6n6e and 
Lederer; and the following subfamilies are admitted: — Lai’entince, Ope- 
rophterinoi (p. 196, new, to include Operophtera, Hiibn., = Chimatohia, 
Steph.), Fidonincc (including Macaridoi, Fidonidm, and Zerenidce, Guen.) ; 
Caberince, GoniacidaLince (p. 311, new, to include Goniacidalia, Pack., 
Calledapteryx, Grote, and a neAV genus), Acidalinoi (including Ep)^y~ 
ridce, Guen.), Geoinetrince, Boarmince, (including Ampliidasydce, BoarmidcB, 
and Hybernido}, Guen.), and (including Urapterygidce, Guen.). 
Pis. i.-vi. are devoted to neuration, pi. vii. and a few figures of pi. vi. to 
details of structure of various Lepidoptera, and pis. viii.-xiii. contain 
figures of the perfect insects. A few larvae and pupae are figured on the 
upper part of pi. xiii. All the species described are recognisably figured, 
though without colour, either on the plates, or on woodcuts in the text. 
Descriptions of most of the undetermined North American species 
described by previous authors are inserted at the end of each family. The 
Recorder regrets that his limits compel him to avoid further notice of 
this work, except as regards the new genera and species described in it.
