[287] (Note # 570: Rothschild & Jordan (1897) discuss the error made in [1854] by Herrich-Schäffer (1850-[1869]) in listing on the cover Aganais iodamia as fig. 120 instead of fig.119. This led Butler (1875e) to propose Hypsa sphaerifera (Butler, 1875) for fig. 119. Herrich-Schäffer corrected this in the text published in 1858 and, except for Butler, this correction has been universally accepted)
