The British and reputed British species in which the $? hind tibia 
has only two spurs, and which, therefore, come under Ptychopoda in 
the comprehensive sense, are the following: muricata, Hufn., serpentata, 
Hufn. ( — similata, Thunb .= perocliraria, F. v. R.), ochrata, Scop., 
dimidiata, Hufn., bisetata, Hufn., triyeminata, Haw., contiyuaria, Hub., 
heibai iata, Fab., rusticata, Schiff., dilutana, Hiib. ( = liolosericata, Dup.), 
humiliata, Hufn., fuscovenosa, Goeze (=interjectaria, Boisd.), seriata’ 
Hulst’s selection of a type for this genus seems to be the earliest, and is, 
moreover, consistent with Packard’s use of the name in his Monograph of 1876. 
Warren (Nov. Zool., passim), assuming the undescribed Eois of the Zutriige (i.,’ 
27) to be valid, employs it for an Asthenine (Larentiid) genus, and in 1900 (vii., 
146) proposes an unnecessary new name, unteois, with type muricata. 
t Herrich-Schaeffer retains only two of Hiibner’s species, inarginepunctata 
and contiyuaria, the latter evidently by an oversight, as it contradicts his generic 
characters. 
I Phalaena ternata, Schrank, Fauna Boica, ii., (2), 57, 1802, is somewhat 
defectively described, and I doubt whether it can be proved that the determination 
in Panzer s Deutsch. Ins., Heft. Ill, 21, is correct. But as at least it cannot be 
proved erroneous, it ought to be accepted.
