Extract

Since I am recently criticized for erecting new genera in the Sphingidæ as it is thought unnecessarily, I have put together some of my thoughts on the subject in the present Paper. In a review, the friendly spirit of which I most gladly recognize, Mr. Moschler speaks of my division of the old genus Smerinthus, which I have restrictcd to the type ocellatus, geminatus, &c.,and says in effect that since hybrids are known to occur between certain of the species, these could not be generically or tribally separated.
