Extract

In an original memoir on the Zygaenidœ, published by the Essex Institute, Dr. Packard explained the relation of Castnia and allied genera to the European genus Zygaena, and contended for the solidarity of the group as the equivalent of the large family of Bombycidæ in the Latreillean sense. The view, advocated by Agassiz, that form was a family criterion, not only form in general, but form of parts undelying form in general, obtained.

* See Papilio 3, 106. Berg's Platensis, as I understand his remark as to the front, probably belongs to ,Copidryas.

** For a list of our species consult also Papilio I., 177. I have never seen a Californian specimen, and am quite doubtful as to brevipennis being a variety of unio. Stretch's figure and description were made from an imperfect example. The Cuban E. Poeyi was subsequently described by Herrick-Schaeffer as Heterandra disparilis; on comparison of the dates of issue of the two publications, which appeared nearly at the same time, the Philadelphia paper has priority.
