Erycinides. 
Herrich-Schaffer (Corr.-Blatt, zool.-min. Ver. Begensb. 
1868, pp. 119-131) has continued his Prodromus through this 
subfamily, adopting Bates's catalogue published in the Journ. 
Linn. Soc. Zool. vol. ix. without alteration. He notes (p. 128) 
Charis calicene, Hew., as= C. epijessttj Prittw. He also (p. 131) 
refers the genera PentilUj Liptena^ and TPJJrhania to the Ery- 
cinidcBy instead of to the Lyccenida^ and considers them allied to 
Ithomiolay Feld. 
Hopffer (Stettin, entom. Zeitung, 1869, pp. 442-446) makes the follow- 
ing synonymic notes on the species of Erycinides described by Felder in the 
second part of his work on the Lepidoptera of the ^ Novara’ expedition : — 
Erycina laodamia, Feld.,=JS. psecas, Saunders j Desmozona hemixanihe^ Feld., 
Hesperia eemulius, Fabricius ; Lemonias sperthiasy Feld.,=Pa^t7zo abaris, 
Cramer; Xenandra helioideSyFeld.,=Pap. helius, Cram. ; Amblyyonia agathon, 
Feld., =sPhalcena e?'ota, Cram. pi. 276. f. Q,=Pap. oui'anns, Cram. pi. 335. f. C. 
Tie also states (/. c. pp. 441, 442) that the insect figured by Cramer as the 
male of Helicopis endymion is the female of Felder’s II. selene, and that the 
name endymim must be retained for the insect figured by Cramer as the 
female, which, however, is really the male. 
Boisduval (Ann. Soc. Entom. Beige, xii. p. 62) describes Apodemia 
mofrmo, Felder, under the name of Chrysohia mormmia. 
Chrysobia, g. n., Boisduval, Ann. Soc. Entom. Beige, p. 62. Type Lemonias 
mormo, Feld, {mcnmionia, Boisd.). Palpi clothed, scaly, last joint nearly 
naked, slender, much passing the vertex ; antennse moderately long, termi- 
nated by a fusiform club, more elongated than in Lemonias ; discoidal cells of 
all the wings open.
