ON FORBES' GROUPING OF AGROTINE GENERA*

Extract

In a recent paper entitled “A Grouping of the Agrotine Genera,” by Dr. W. T. M. Forbes (1934, Ent. Am. XIV, pp. 1-41) there is considerable discussion of my “Generic Revision of North American Agrotid Moths,” particularly in connection with what the author claims is my idea of the phylogenetic sequence of the genera. Now, while I value highly a number of Forbes' critical remarks and believe that his studies form an excellent check on my own work, I strongly object to being credited with statements which I had not made, due to either a careless reading or a misinterpretation of my text. A number of such misstatements have crept into Forbes' paper and I believe, therefore, that in justice to myself I may be permitted to call attention to these errors.
