In 1874 I proposed the generic term Eucopteocnemis for the Heliophobus fimbriaris of Guenée, Noct. I., 172. whose statement that the species had two terminal spines on the anterior tibiæ rendered its reference to the genus Heliophobus of Boisduval imporbable. In reality our species appears not congeneric with the European Heliophobus hispidus. At the time of proposing the genus I had no material.
