PREFACE.

The present Part completes the enumeration of the Worth American Kocttiae.
It is paged continuously with Part 1, which contained the Bombi/ciae and Noc-
tuelitae n<m fasclatae, and was published in October, 1875. The Species are numb-
ered for the convenience of students, who are referred to my List, published in
the Bulletin of the Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences in April to May 1874, for
the citations. Although the present List contains the names of all species des-
cribed since that time, I have not thought it best to change my plan for the pui-
pose of introduc'ag references to the diffnent scientific publications in which
these additional species are described. They will be found chiefly in the Cana-
dian Entomologist, the Proceedings of the Boston Society of Natural History and
the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, as well as in the Bulletin of
the Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences. The student is especially referred to
Dr. Speyer's very valuable papers in the Stettiner Entomologische Zeitung for
1875. I have been criticised for my courie in regard to my preference for the
authority of the combined generic and specific name. Jr. reply I re-state that I
have merely followed the method adopted by Dr. Le Conte in his List of Coleoptera,
as well as the practice in many of the other branches of the Natural Sciences-
I am not responsible for the method beyond my use of it.

One of ray critics, who not unfrequently misrepresents me, charges mo among
other things with following Mr. Scudder blindly. And. although the language used
by my critic is unreasonably strong, there seems at first sight some probability that
it is in the main true And in this case the question is whether Mr. Scudder is
not an Entomologist whom one can afford to follow, not exactly l)lirdly, but in
matters where one's own especial information gives out. And, while for my part
I have fully satisfied myself that this is the case, I wish here to show, with regard
to the Noctuidae, what I have in fact done. Obviously this criticism refers to
the multiplicity of genera adopted by Mr Scvidder in the Diurnals. But it can
bo easily shown that I have used an already sufficiently tested class of characters
tor my genera in the Noctuidae. I have simply tried to bring our Noctuidae into
generin correspondence with the conceptions of Lederer. So that the European
Lepidopterist, for instance, may* be sure that my Mamestras have hairy eyes,
I'narmed tibiae and a tufted body, ray Agrotis armed tibiae, naked eyes and untufted

— 32 —

body, and bo on Gcnora In my List not roprcsontod ;n Lederer aro consldorod.
in tho absenco, p(U"hapH, some times of more accurate information, to be peculi-
arly American, and those genera aro founded on variations of Htructural charac-
ters recognised by tho beat authorities as of generic value. In other words these
genera would for the most part lie accepted as valid did European authors, who
in tho main were governed by the ruling classificatory ideas, dscuss them. And
this scemod important to mo because I um chicHy impressed with the value of the
results to be obtained from a comparison of our Moths with thr)8e of Europe, for
I have elsewhere said that any question which tends to throw light on the
origin of species is tho one to be discussed and the one for which sacrifices are to
be brought by scientific men, And for my general procedure I have already seen
some gratifying results, gratifying to one who wo'ks for such results as a suffl-
clont reward. While an uninterrupted sequence of form seems to be necessarily
contradicted by tho conditions of the evolutionary liypothess itself, we may still
expect that a comparison of two separate faunae, once ctnnocted in geological
time, will throw some light on the origination of species belonging to the same
structural group.

And again, my idea that wo should respect priority, hus been construed into
a ''blindly following of Mr. Scudder". But my mind has undergone no change
on this score since the time when I first wrote, which was before Mr Scudder
took up tho public study of tho Lepidoptera. The fact rem lins that I recognised
Hubuer's authority so soon as I became acquainted with his works, and I
adopted his genus Anisota in 1864. I have, however, followed Mr. Scudder in
adopiini^ the "Tontamen" as authority; and since doing so I am confirmed in it,
because the case of those who wish to make out that it should bo thrown on one
side, seems to be a bad one. They have to prove first that tho best way to treat a
man who deliberately prints an entirely new system, with entirely new names, in
themselves entirely unobjoctionablo. is to ignore him on technical grounds. In
other words the desire is to adopt Hubnerian ideas and give the credit to other
writers. Tlvis is in so far as Hubnor'u ideas are coisdnant with tho idi-as of
these latter. And where the multiplicity of genera comes into question, I freely
concede that those who admit but lew genera may advance their own argument
on its merits lis against Hubner and any one else. But I deprecate their mixing
up of the two sets of ideas I should prefer to hear argiinients first against recog-
nising Hubner as having any right to be quoted for any names of genera (or for
species for that matter); and then arguments against his ideas as to classification
and as to what constitutes genera or species. Hubuer's species seem to be gene-
rally recognised, thanks to the manner in which they are portrayed; and to a
defect in his manner of defining genera wo aro in some degree to attribute the
fact that the same general recognition has been withheld from these. Since, as
I have elsewhere urged, what we want is information on tho subject of Entomol-
ogy, and not a confusion of ideas, the test of Hubner must be ultimately his
ability to asskt us, and as to whether we cannot use his (generic terms by applying
to them the existing Canons of nomenclature That the Hubnerian ideas as to
genera being in reality far more numerous than was recognised at the time they

— m —

wore put forth, aro | rovod correct, admitH n\ linrdly ii(loiit)t to those who have
Htiulied the progress of ncienco. That his practica' application of thcBe Idean in
hiH Verzeichniss was incomplete, is adinitted. But I have nhown that IVom tlie
very nature of that work it could not well have h"en different. For Iluhner
did not Icnow many of the species ho classified and the true criticism to be applied
is to see how he treated those genera which he presumably was well ac(|uaintod
with, viz: ♦>!«. P-iropean. And, as a whole, his incongruous genera are largely
those in which he has attempted to intercalate extra-European forms. And if
this is so, it will detract much Irora the argument of those who criticise Hubner's
genera on account of their want of homogeneity. But in some degree also
Hubner's genen aro ciiticiKed by those who can be plainly shown to have no
lacility in recognizing or describing structure in Entomology ; and indeed this
criticising of Hubner is seen to come perhaps mainly from si'ch source?. So
that after all the question comes up as to the value of the critics that reject
Hubner, and since we must desire to know the best written on any subject and
not the worst, it may happen that Hubner will still he recognised when some of
his critics are forgotten in this particular; for the test of Hubner is his real
value on his subject and not the artififcial value conferred by the law of priority
in nomenclature, aid which still obliges us to study incompet<»nt writers whose
works may, perhaps, finally lead to the modification of the law.

But we are asked to ignore Hubner because Treitschko and Boisduval iiave
done 80. And h(!re again, the true question is as to whether these authors were
right in appropriating, misapplying or rejecting Hubner's names; and this ques-
tion must be answered satisfactorily before we rnay join them. Finally with re.
gard to the Ten tamen, it has been urged that Hubner himself discarded it. But
this is a mistaken criticism; Hubner's Verzeichnias rests on the Tentamen, but
it seems that afterwards Hubner used the names of the Tentamen for divisions
hi=i;her than genera, and if these divisions connot be accepted, his names must
stand in their original significance.

A fatal want of discernment has allowed Mr. W. H. Edwards, in the Can.
Ent. for Murch of this year, to compare Hubner's catalogues with those of
vendors of flower seeds, whereas Hubner's works take their value not from their
form, but their contents. And in regard to the "peritis ad inspiciendum et
dijudicandum," what is all scientific work but tent itive? Whether we call our
works Tentamens or not, they aro, perhaps all, "com'nunicated to skilled persons
to be examined and pronounced upon." So that it is unreasonable to detract
from Hubner's work on the ground that he regarded it as provisional and sug-
gestive rather than final. Nor can Hubner's modest attitude prevent our using
of his work what we may. and certainly it should aftbrd no excuse for our ignoring
his labors in tola. And we can see that Hubner's descriptions of genera arf
at least no worse than that of the genus Aenkjma Strocker, which is based upon
a "very large number of sub-costal nervules" an impossible character, and a mis-
take to which none of Hubner's works offer a parallel Nor did Hubner mis-
represent any one, for purposes of personal envy and malice; he is singular for
his devotion to his subject, and for his consistency in his presentation of it. And

34

wo may contrast Hubnor's conBlBtency with that of Mr. W. II. Edwards, ,vho
adoptfl all of Mr. Scuddor's g«nera in th« Hosporidae, but rpj»'ct» tlie samo idoan
in otiior families. Again Dr. Hagen says that 'Hbe Tentamon was not known to
thH chief Lcpidopterologist of his day for ten yoars or moro. after it was printed,
though h« was in communication witii Hul)ner, and that ho did not know It
shows clearly that Ilubner did not think it of importance enough to bo co.nm-
unicated to him".

One may admire this conclusion without appreciating the critical power that
brings it out. In tiie first place it is aHsumed that Ochf-enlieimer was the '"chief
Lepidopterologist of his day." One may, indeed, and reasonably prefer Hubner,
sinco Ochsenheimer at best, while con8er«-ative, was at the same time provincial
from the limit of his studios. Oclisenhoimer's third volume waw printed in 1810.
and not in 1816 as Mr. Edwards asserts. So that Dr. Hagen's ten years of
Ochsenbeimer's ignorance are reduced to four. Again why, in his fourth Volume
does Ochsenheimer adopt genera from the Tentamon such as "Cohmia" and
"Xylena"? And why does he throughout quote Hubner's Tentamon in the
synonymy if he did not recognise the Tentamon as of authority? Information
spread slowly in those days and the true criticism of Hubner's course in the
delay is probably not Dr. Hagen's idea that he considered the Tentamon worthless.
For, otherwise, Hubner would not have printed it; or, printing it, he would not
have communicated it to Ochsenheimer at all, neither woult' he have used it him-
self, which he clearly did, as the basis of all his subsequent work. And then
again we can see that Mr. W. H. Edwards quotes Ochsenheimer to suit himself
and his side of tlio case. For Mr. Edwards italicii^os Ochsenbeimer's remark :
This sheet (the Tentamen) I saw long after the printing of my 3rd Vol. was done,"
and comes to a stop. Jiut Ocimenlicimer comeg to no atopl Ho goes right on:
"therefore I could not earlier have adopted anything out of it" (daber konnte
ich frueher nicbts davon aufnebmen). And this unfair omission of Ocbsonbcimer's
apology, for a previous neglect of Hubner, must be rectified before we can un-
derstand that the blame does not rest with Ochsenheimer, for rejecting Hubner's
work. No, it is with Treitschko, Ochsonheimor's narrower disciple, and with
Boisduval. who afterwards wrote o< "mon genre" at Habner's expense. For
Ochsenheimer adopts the Tentamon in great part, although he misapplies certain
names such as Gkaphiphora, which he makes synonymous witb Agkotis in part.
And we see that all the criticism which excuses our rejection of Hubner because
Ochsenhoimur refused bim, is false, and must fall away, together witb Mr.
Edwards' erroneous dates. And with it will go all of Dr. Hagen's reasoning as
to Hubner's Tentamon not being cited in certain Booksellers' Catalogues; un-
less, again, th-^ refusal or the failure of a bookseller to advertise a work is to be
considered to invalidate its publication.

So that we shall have reason to reject a criticism which is founded on a xcxa-
conception alike of Hubner's work and of the circumstances attending its pub-
lication, a criticism to which Dr. Hagen supplies the literary information, Mr. W.
H. Edwards the legal argument, and Mr. Strecker the bad language. As the sum

•mation, Mr. W.
;e. As the sum

and substance of the foregoing and clHwboru published remarks we claim: That
Hubner never rejected the Tentamon, but used it as the basis of his subsequent
clasHifioations, and that he communicated it to his fellow stuilnnts of tliiit day.
That Ocbsenbeimer adopted tbe TentaUien as of authority, and that he ha<l a
copy, not ten years, as Dr. Hageu states, but ahont four years after its publica-
tion. And Anally that the only way to secure a busis for our nomenclature
unde." *he law of priority is to adojt all of Hubner's tenable genera. The idea
of injustice to subsecpient writers, mooted by Mr. W. H. Edwards, has no basis in
fact, there is in reality no personality involved in tho matter cf bestowing names
beyond what we perforce import into it. And whoever has renamed any of
Hubner's genera should in equity be the first to desire to reinstate the authority
he has either endeavored to set aside, or whom he has ignorantly replaced for tho
moment.

The result of the continued rejection of Hubnei, upon the synonymy of the
Lepidoptera, will bo constantly to confuse it still more, for there must succeed
Authors who will see that under the law of priority Hubner's names must be
reinstated in their undoubted right. And the successorc to the present lumpers
(as we have called them) tempted to tend more and more to become splitterf, l)y
our ever encreasing knowledge, may retain sufiicient tradition to continue to
fight against Hubner and thus may re-name more of his genera. So that there
will be more entanglement and dissonance than ever and we may be induced, as
Professor Morse has been in his First Book of Zoology, to fall back on Eng.
lish names for our species. And this alternative is not a { easant one, nor is the
other, that the law of priority may be altered so as to apply it against certain
authors rather than against certain epochs; for then it would assuredly be
brought to bear inimically against Mr. Streckor and other incompetent writers,
and so it may well happen that the Story of Haman be rep'jated, with writers of
Mr. Strecker's stamp themselves hanging on the gallows, they have been at so
much pains to erect for Hubner. But for us the claims of all writers on En-
tomology continue subservient to the good of the science, and if this latter is
threatened we will drop even Hubner and, in the same way, we would drop
ail further assertion of ourselves. But to convince us of this, some other argu-
ments must be used than Dr. Hagen's statement, that booksellers of his time did
not advertise the Tentamon, than Mr. W. H. Edwards' fatal period in tho middle
of Ochsenhoimer's famous sentence with regard to Hubner's Tentamen, than Mr.
Strecker's undoubted capacity for abuse and for misunderstanding tbe simplest
facts of structure in insects.

However it may eventuate with tho Tentamen, it is clear that, if we reject
tho Verzeichniss, we shall have to re-name many genera established under
Hubner's names, unless we agree that the adoption of any of Hubner's names is
optional, in which case we can adopt his names (as Guenee has done for instance
with regard to ui^ofl'^i-nrAa) wiHiout the slightest reference to the species com.
posing his genera. Tho confusion would only be heightened by such procedure.
And clearly to such generic titles wo cannot quote Hubner as authority.

than any of Hubner's, in the Noctuidao, e. g. it includes species of Lithouia,
Calocampa, Hadena, Actinotia, Dipterygia, Ghariclea, Calophasia, As-
teroscopus, Scotochrosta. Afterwards tht name is credited as ''Xylina"
to Ochsenheimer or Treitschke, and by restriction comes to be used for a
genus of which socla (potrificata) may be considered a type, and falls be-
fore Lithopbane.

'i The type of Bnlina is \Xw Evtropwm Caiiino, which is said by Lederer tx) liavo tlif
niitWle tiliiae spinose. Our species <)f Melipotis liave tliem unarmed. But Boiina if*
also pieoccupied Ijy .ilontfoi't The type of Melipotis is jucunda. Aedia is used by
Lederer for a different genus (<euco»ieZ«."i).

H This species is represented by it specimen before me in coll. Am. Ent. i-^oc.,
corresponding precisely witli Huljiier's figure. It has the forewings of a deep choco-
lute-brown, witli a gray-brown terminal space. There is a large ovate i>ale-yelIowlsh
extra-discal spot, below, and continuous with the inner edge of which, the "t. p. line,
sinuate, shaded oiitwardly with l)Iack, runs to internal margin. It is not toothed
as in ni</rescens etc. IJeyohd and above the extra-discal spot is a curved line inclos-
ing a brown sub-apical costal patch. The obliiiue oclierous band is narrow and of
even width. Hind wings witli pearly wlnUi base and broad black borders. The fore-
wings are naiTOw at base and jiroduced apically with oblique teiminal mai'gin. 1
have already elsewhere expose<l Mr. Morrison's error in confounding Huhner's species
witli nigrescens or ochreipen .lis.

4 The earli«!St date on wliicli I can Hud that any copy of Mr. (<trecker's Number 11
was received is Nov. 12, 1874. His date of "August" can have no relation in fact to a
question of priority. Bull. B. 8. N. N., 2, 222.

15 As impossibly to be ideiitittoil, I oiuit Mr. Strecker's descilptioiis of uullgured
species, e. g. of Heliothis etc. The synoiiymical notes given in his work I liave neg-
lected as unreliable and in no way explained. It is not clear tniit Mr. Strecker knows
the species he sometimes cites, iind the proof of his correctnesi^ninstbeestablished
by independent evidence to be accepted.
