Butler, A. G. On the natural affinities of the Lepidoptera hitherto 
referred to the genus Acronycta of authors. Tr. E. Soc. 1879, 
pp. 313-317, pi. xi. 
The writer discusses the larval characters and neuration chiefly of the 
British species, and distributes them as follows : — Arctiid^e : Pharetra 
rumicis and P. auricoma, &c. ; Ltparid^ : Acronicta [sic] leporina and 
pleXy Artomyasis aceris hastulifera,&c. ; Notodontid.®: Genus P

143 species are noticed, of which 55 are described as new. Many 
observations and corrections in synonymy occur, of which the following 
are the most important : — Prodenia strigifera, Walk., = Xylina inquieta^ 
Walk. ; Perigea otiosa, paupera, and imbella, Walk., are probably all 
varieties of one species; Condica palpalis^ Walk., = Phalmna cupentia, 
Cram. ; Nystalea, Cucullia, &c., are probably Notodontidm ; Agrophila^ 
all the New World species placed in this genus by Walker belong to 
Apliusia\ Palindia fumata, Feld., = mabis, Guen. ; P. egala, Walk., = 
julianata, Stoll ; P. spectabilis^ Walk., = ? perlata, Guen. ; P. testacei-
