Lycaenidce in the same natural order. As regards generic names, Grapta 
was used for c-album, and Pyrameis for atalanta and cardui; the Satyrid 
genera are— Melanargia (Melanagria ), the first instance of the name in 
this country ; Erebia ; Pararge ( Pyrarga ) ; Satyrus ( semele ) ; Epinephele ; 
and Coenonympha. Polyommatus was applied to the Coppers and Lyccena 
to the Blues, boetica being, however, separated under Lampides; 
Bhodocera and Anthocharis were retained, Aporia used for cratcegi, and 
the Skippers all included under Hesperia. Staudinger in the main 
followed Lederer, but made the additional family Apaturidce, and 
adopted the uniform terminal idee for the names of families. He also 
separated cratcegi under Aporia, used Melanargia instead of Arge, and 
separated malvce and tages from the other Skippers under the respective 
names of Syrichthus and Nisoniades. Kirby followed Bates, placing 
Nymplialidas first, but he substituted the name Lemoniidce for Erycmidoe. 
In generic names he made many changes. Including in our survey 
his supplement of 1877, we find that he replaced Erebia by Maniola, 
used Satyrus for cegeria and megeera , and united semele and hyperanthus 
under Hipparchia. He divided the Hair-streaks into two genera 
Zephy rus (betulce and quercus ) and TJieela, applied iAjccena to the Coppers, 
and resuscitated the old Linnaean name Plebeius for the Blues. In 
Hesperiida? he applied Hesperia to malvce, Nisoniades to tages, Heteropterus 
to palaemon, and separated comma and sylvanus from thaumas, lineola and 
actceon, calling the former Pamphila and the latter Thymelicus. 
In 1888-9 Scudder, in the most scientific work on Bliopalocera 
which has yet appeared, The Butterflies of the Eastern United States 
and Canada went at considerable length into the question of classification. 
He constituted four families, placing Nymphalidce first, followed by 
Lyccenidce, Papilionidce and Hesperidce. Nymphalidas was divided into 
four sub-families Satyrince, Nymphalince, Euploeinoe (the equivalent of 
Bates’ Danaince) and another. Lyccenidce is in two sub-families 
Lemoniince and Lyccenince, the former the equivalent of the older 
Erycinidoe, the latter of the Lyccenidce of most authors. Papilionidce is 
divided into Pierince and Papilionince. The sub-families Nymphalince, 
Lyccenince, and Pierince, and the family Hesperidce are further sub¬ 
divided into tribes with names ending in idi. 
In his History of our British Butterflies, published in 1890, Mr. Dale 
adopts Boisduval’s system, but arranges the families of the second tribe, 
Pendulce, thus : Satyridoe, Danaidce, Apaturidce, Nymphalidce. As regards 
generic nomenclature; in the Papilionids he adheres to Doubleday’s of 
1859, save that he separates cratcegi under Aporia; in Lyccenidce he 
uses Chrysophanus for the Coppers, and Polyommatus for the Blues ; in 
Satyridce his genera are Melanargia, Hipparchia, Coenonympha, and 
Erebia ; Hipparchia being divided into sub-genera, as follows:— 
Lasiommata ( cegeria, megeera ) Hipparchia {semele), Satyrus (ianira, 
tithonus), Enodia (hyperanthus ) ; his Skipper genera are Cyclopides, 
Hesperia } Syrichthus, Nisoniades. 
The first volume of The Lepidoptera of the British Lslands by C. G. 
Barrett, published in its completed form so recently as the spring of the 
present year, brings our history up to date. Mr. Barrett adopts the 
same nine families as Mr. Dale, but does not group them; his arrange¬ 
ment is also the same, except that the four families of Mr. Dale’s second 
tribe are placed in the following order: Apaturidce, Danaidce, Nymphalidce, 
Satyridce. Mr. Barrett’s generic nomenclature is also in the main the
