of the New World. Jamaica, and Florida, are given as its true habitats by Boisduval, 
and New York is added in the Encyclopedic M6thodique. 
M. Boisduval’s grounds for substituting his own generic name, Rhodocera, in pre- 
ference to that of Dr. Leach, are quite untenable; Dr. Leach’s name having a long 
priority over that of Latreille, employed for Noctua, Libatrix, which had also been 
previously named Scoliopteryx by Germar, which name Stephens has retained. I 
have been compelled, however, slightly to alter Dr. Leach’s name, to render it more in 
accordance with its Greek derivatives.

a distinct group of Lepidoptera.
