Tin's work (Bulletin No. 44) is one of a series of papers intended to
illustrate the collections belonging to the United States, and consti-
tuting the National Museum, of which the Smithsonian Institution
was placed in charge by the act of Congress of August 10, 1840.

The publications of the National Museum consist of two series — the
Bulletin, of which this is No. 44, in continuous series, and the Proceed-
ings, of which the sixteenth volume is now in press. A small edition
of each paper in the Proceedings is distributed in pamphlet form to
specialists in advance of the publication of the bound volume.

The Bulletin of the National Museum, the publication of which was
commenced in 1875, consists of elaborate papers based upon the col-
lections of the Museum, reports of expeditions, etc., while the Proceed-
ings facilitate the prompt publication of freshly-acquired facts relating
to biology, anthropology, and geology, descriptions of restricted groups
of animals and plants, the discussion of particular questions relative
to the synonymy of species, and the diaries of minor expeditions.

Other papers, of more general popular interest, are printed in the
Appendix to the Annual Beport.

Full lists of the publications of the Museum may be found in the
current catalogues of the publications of the Smithsonian Institution.

Papers intended for publication in the Proceedings and Bulletin of
the National Museum are referred to the Committee on Publications,
composed as follows: T. H. Bea,n (chairman), A. Howard Clark, K. E.

PREFACE.

The basis of good work in any science is a knowledge of what has
been done in the past. This proposition does not need argument for
its support, and it follows, logically, that any work which facilitates
the acquirement of this basic knowledge and brings together system-
atically and critically the results theretofore obtained will also facilitate
the advance of the science. The study of the North American Noc-
tuidae has been seriously embarrassed by the difficulty in acquiring
this foundation; not always because books were lacking, but often be-
cause the knowledge was contained in so many without an index to
guide the student. Since Mr. Grote's catalogue of 1874 no comprehen-
sive bibliographical work on this family has been published, while the
number of species has nearly doubled and the literature has increased
enormously. This state of affairs results in the formation of card cata-
logues or indices made by each student to facilitate his own work, and
gradually he becomes familiar with the knowledge published by his prede-
cessors. But this does not help others, and the same work is done over
and over again by those engaged in the same fields of study. It has also
been extremely difficult, even after becoming familiar with the literature,
to ascertain exactly what sj^ecies were really before the older writers.
Characters now regarded as essential were not even noted by them and
descriptions which, with the few species at hand, were characteristic
and pointed became vague and indefinite when larger material brought
us many and closely allied species. The greatest bugbear to American
Lepidopterists has been the work of Francis Walker in the catalogues
of the British Museum. Mr. Grote after twenty years of study in the
Noctuidse had failed to identify a large percentage of the species, while
even of the species described by Guenee forty years ago, a number are
still unidentified in American collections. For ten years I have been
accumulating material for a monograph of the North American Noc-
tuidiv, and have examined about all the books obtainable in Philadel-
phia, New York, Washington, and elsewhere, and have purchased
papers on the subject whenever opportunity offered. I have had, dur-
ing that time, unusual opportunities for studying the material in iLc
leading American collections, and some of the results obtained have
been published in my various "Contributions toward a monograph of

the Noctuidae of Temperate North America."

6 PREFACE.

Some years ago it was contemplated by Dr. C. V. Riley and myself
to issue a complete monograph of this family, giving all that could be
learned of the early stages as well as the more strictly systematic work,
and for several years a great deal of material was gathered. It is to
Dr. Kiley that I owe a very large part of the facilities for study in the
scattered collections, and my sincere gratitude is due to him for his many
kindnesses of all descriptions. Pressureof more imperative duties com-
pelled Dr. lliley to abandon his part of the work, and I have gradually
published such portions as were completed.

With the knowledge to be obtained in American collections, the ne-
cessity for studying the material contained in those of Europe, and
especially that in the British Museum, became constantly more obvious.
In September, 1891, it became possible for me to get away for a few
weeks, and in the interest of the United States National Museum un-
der instructions from the assistant secretary of the Smithsonian Insti-
tute in charge of the Museum, I carefully studied parts of the collec-
tions contained in the museums at London, Paris, and Berlin, and visited
also the Staudinger collection at Dresden.

The notes made by me during this trip are incorporated in the follow-
ing pages; but a brief statement of the character and condition of the
collections examined may not be amiss.

The British Museum contains of American Noctuidre the material
collected by Doubleday and worked over by Guenee in 1852, and by
Walker between 1856 and 1858; the material from all other sources
worked over by Walker during the same period; the Zeller collection
and the Grote collection, besides the miscellaneous accumulations from
all sources, including a very interesting lot collected by Lord Walsiug-
ham. The Doubleday material is in large part provided with locality
labels, but it also contains specimens purchased by him, the fatherland
of which is more Than doubtful. Guenee has in some instances written
"New Yorck," where nothing on the insect nor in the record will author-
ize it. It is in most cases easy to identify the specimens described by
Guenee, though not all of them hav^ labels in his handwriting. Walker
had, in addition to the Doubleday material containing the Guenee types,
a lot of material collected in Nova Scotia and in the British Possessions
in North America. Some of the Abbot material is also in the collec-
tion. Mr. W. F. Kirby says (Can. Ent., xx, 231), "There are a number
of specimens originally collected by Abbot in the British Museum and
probably in other collections," and this is borne out by the fact that-
some of the specimens seen by me are evidently the originals of the
figures contained in the magnificent collection of Abbot's drawings in
the Museum. Among them are such rarities as Cossuts basalis Wlk.
(Inguromorpha slossoni Hy. Edw.), and Acherdoaferraria Wlk. ( Varina
ornata Neum.), both of them only recently rediscovered and red escribed.
The figures of these species are exact copies of the specimens furnish-
ing Walker's types, though the Museum record gives no clue to the
source of the specimens.

PREFACE. 7

Much of the material described by Wolker is in very poor condition,
and it required a very thorough knowledge of the American fauna to
identify the species in all c;ises. Walker's method, according to Butler
(Journ. Linn. Soc., Zool., Vol. xn, pp. 40U and 432), and personal state
ments to me, was rather peculiar. His habit was to pin into a box. in
series, as many specimens as it would conveniently hold, and then begin
describing. At the end of the day's toil the box would be closed with-
out indication of what had been accomplished, aud next morning work
would be recommenced from recollection of what had been previously
done. None of the specimens were labeled until the descriptions were
in type, and then, using a proof sheet, the printed names were cut out
and pinned below the series of specimens, not on the insects themselves.
Sometimes it happened that there were more names than insects; in
such case the label was pinned into the box and, occasionally, the record
"type lost," was made. Thus, sometimes two of Walker's names may
refer to the same specimen as well as to the same species, and it is not
always easy to ascertain when this is so. Judging from the fact that
sometimes the descriptions do not in the least fit the specimens labeled,
there is reason to believe that no great care in applying the names was
exercised.

Messrs. Grote and Robinson, and afterward Mr. Grote alone, have
examined the Walker material and have identified many of the species.
In 1887 Dr. Riley looked over the material carefully and secured colored
figures of many of the species theretofore unrecognized. These figures
and the notes accompanying them, Dr. Eiley has kindly loaned me and
they have been of assistance tome in a number of instances. Mr. But-
ler has, recently, in rearranging the collection, published the sy-
nonymy of some others of the Walker species. Mr. Grote seems never
to have spent sufficient time at the work to get more than a few scatter-
ing notes, and most of these seem tohjtve been made without material
for comparison and from recollection merely. Yet most of them are
correct. Mr. Butler's knowledge of our fauna is altogether too slight
to make his notes conclusive in the case of obscure species. Critical
or synonymical notes should never be made except upon careful study
and comparison by a specialist or one fully acquainted with the fauna
concerned. Justice to an author requires that his writings be studied
before relegating his species to the synonymy, and if neither time nor
opportunity for such study exists, it is simply adding confusion to ig-
norance to make synonymical notes on superficial comparisons.

Mr. Henry Edwards has also on one or more occasions examined
portions of the Museum collections, but seems never to have made any
systematic study. He has informed me in conversation that he had
notes on many of the Bombycids which he intended to put into shape
for publication: but his untimely death prevented this.

The new arrangement of the noctuidsin the British Museum is utterly
at variance with accepted standards. Mr. Butler's generic associations

8 PREFACE.

embrace species of Hadena, Mamestra, Tceniocampa and otliers under
one term, wliile closely allied species may be widely separated under
different generic names. Mr. Butler has not, to my knowledge, given
any key to Ms classification, and criticism is therefore impossible. I
wish simply to call attention to the fact that in this collection the
arrangement of the species is on a unique basis, and that few of the
generic associations are pure, according to German, French, and Ameri-
can definitions. Judged by these standards the arrangement is an ut-
terly unscientific hotchpotch. In the course of this rearrangement,
Mr. Butler has united the Grote and Zeller material with the old col-
lection, forming one series. The Walker types are ascertained and
the printed label associated with the specimen is placed on the pin.
If the Walker name has priority, a "type" disk is pinned next to
it. If the name is a synonym, the " type " disk is put on the pin with
the insect and with the printed label. In all cases where the type of
a species is in the series a "type" disk next the specimen calls atten-
tion to it. This greatly facilitates the search for species, and my task
was considerably lightened by my ability to compare the Guenee,
Walker, and Grote types side by side. Mr. Butler.has published crit-
ical and synonymical notes on the species so far as arranged, much the
greater part of. them in the "Entomologist," since my visit to the
Museum. In the majority of instances the associations are correct;
but much of the synonymy given was already known, and in that which
is new there are some bad errors, caused by the failure to compare
structural characters and relying only on an apparent, superficial re-
semblance. But many species were yet left unidentified with the other
American material. In those parts of the collection not yet arranged,
the work was more tedious and involved more labor. There was an
advantage, however, in the fact that the arrangement was according to
Walker's catalogues and it waS thus easy to find the specimens, little
as the association might be warranted. Mr. Butler in his rearrange-
ment seems to have preserved, as far as possible, every original label
that would indicate or aid in identifying a type and has additionally
marked those specimens that he considers as such.

I thus made my studies under exceptionally favorable circumstances.
The Grote collection is really the basis of the nomenclature in Ameri-
can collections generally, and a very great point was gained when I
could identify the Guenee and Walker names with the Grote names for
the same species. In addition, I had with me a small series of speci-
mens generally unnamed in collections, or .of which I was doubtful,
and these were carefully compared. A full set of my own monographic
papers enabled me to verify the correctness of the identifications there
made, and a series of notes and drawings aided me in other groups. In
the Deltoids I had drawings of nearly all the species as they are named
in the National Museum, and these were carefully compared and the
synonymy noted. I think I can claim a familiarity with a very large

PREFACE.

percentage of tlie American species, and I could thus readily determine
in most instances whether or not I correctly knew the iusects. As my
time was limited, I did not study Acronycta, which Dr. fiiley had already
studied on a prior occasion, nor Catocala, which Messrs. Grote and
Henry Edwards had compared. Outside of these genera I found all
save four or five of the Walker species, and was able to recognize nearly
all of them. Of those not found, Mr. Butler has seen no trace as yet,
and they may be "lost." Some few, I believe five species, described by
Mr. Walker, from the Saunders collection, now at Oxford, are yet un-
known to me, as I could not get to that city.* The species described
from Dr. Bethune's collection I have previously identified, and the types
arc now in the National Museum. In Vols. v and VI of the Canadian
Naturalist and Geologist, Mr. Walker described a few species collected
by Mr. D'TJrban, and afterward donated to the Entomological Society
of Ontario. These Mr. Grote has examined, and most of them were
identified with other described species; the others were omitted from
all of Mr. Grote's lists, and were forgotten. To the kindness of Mr. J.
Alston Moffat, curator of the Society, I owe an opportunity of exam-
ining these species, and have identified them in the following pages.

I desire at this point to express my sincere thanks to Mr. Butler and"
to the entire Entomological Staff of the British Museum, for the ready
courtesy and great kindness with which they gave all aid in their power
to facilitate my work. A regretable attack of illness confined Mr. Butler
to his home during most of my stay, else I might perhaps have suc-
ceeded in finding a trace of the few yet unidentified species. I do not
at all agree with Mr. Butler's ideas on Noctuid genera, yet this does
not prevent a high appreciation of the work he has done, nor a feeling
of sincere gratitude for the good-natured readiness with which he gave
me all the assistance in his power.

A knowledge of the collections now in the British Museum is the
basis of our knowledge of the North American Noctuida? to-day.

Some of the species described by Guenee are in the Jardiu des Plantes
in Paris, and this I also visited. The museum and the collections there
were a distinct disappointment. Not only is it cooped up in numerous
small rooms, packed in inconvenient places, but for years past it seems
to have had little or no attention, and there is apparently no pretence
of arrangement. Yet with the kind assistance of M. Aug. Salle, I did
succeed in getting at most of the species marked "M. N.," in the species
General. I was in hopes of being able to get track of the Abbot draw-
ings, from which Guenee described a number of species; but 1 did not
succeed in this. It was a matter of great regret to nie that I did not
spend the time devoted to Paris, in visiting M. Oberthlir at Eennes;
but I did not realize how little there was of importance, at Paris, and
how much there was at Eennes. The brief time at niy disposal made
it impossible to repair the error and I went on to Berlin.

* I have since, by the kind assistance of Mr. Win. Schans, identified tlinv of them.

10 PREFACE.

Here again I found a well-preserved and well-arranged collection, not
particularly rich in North American species, but with many South
American forms valuable for comparisons, generic and otherwise, and
with a considerable number of arctic forms, including some of Dr.
Staudinger's typos.

I owe thanks here to Dr. Karsc.h for his obliging courtesy in giving
such assistance as I asked. In fact, the most pleasant and agreeable
features of my trip were the hearty cooperation I met with everywhere
and the ready willingness to aid, by any means in their power, that
distinguished all those having charge of the collections 1 desired to see.

The trip to Dresden was a distinct disappointment. Dr. Staudiuger
was not in town, and the Moeschler collection had not been acquired by
him as I had been informed it had. Mr. E. Bang-Haas did all in his
power by showing me such northern material as had been studied by
Dr. Staudinger; but this was a poor substitute for what I had expected
or had been led to expect. My leave of absence was then about ex-
hausted and I returned to America via Bremen.

In preparing the notes made in the European collections I found that
it would be necessary to refer to the greater part of the described
species, and after consulting with Dr. Eiley, I concluded to prepare a
catalogue embodying not only rny notes on the types in foreign collec-
tions, but also on those in American collections. My aim is to give, as
nearly as may be, the present location of the type specimen of every
noctuid species described from America since Guenee wrote.

This necessitates a reference to some of the American collections
containing types. Of the individual collections, by far the most im-
portant is that of Mr. B. Neumoegeu, of New York city. Mr. Neuin-
oegen has succeeded in accumulating a very large amount of valuable
material, mainly from the Western States, and this has been in large
part named by Mr. Grote, Mr. Henry Edwards, and more recently by
myself. He has the types of 233 or about 13 per cent of our species;
not always unique types, but specimens so marked.

Next in importance is the collection of the late Henry Edwards, also
of New York city. Mr. Edwards described many species from his own
collection and furnished specimens for a considerable number of the
species described by Messrs. Grote and Harvey. A large part of the
value of Mr. Edwards' collection is derived from the fact that he per-
sonally collected a very great portion of it, and that it is labeled with
the exact locality of capture and not merely with a State label. This
collection has been acquired for the American Museum of Natural
History in New York city, and will be, when in place there, a most
valuable one for the student.

The collection of Mr. Fred Tepper, of Brooklyn, now the property of
the Agricultural College of Michigan is next in rank, containing 114
types, many of them described by Mr. Morrison, and some of them
duplicating the "types" in other collections.

PREFACE. 1 1

The Strecker collection at Reading, Pa., contains a considerable num-
ber of types; not only all that were described by Dr. Strecker himself
but also some of those described by Mr. Morrison and Dr. Behr.

At some distance behind are the collections of Mr. E. L. Graef, of
Brooklyn, 1ST. Y; Dr. Roland Thaxter, of Cambridge, Mass.; Dr. J. A.
Lintner, of Albany, N. Y. ; Dr. George D. Hulst, of Brooklyn, N. Y.;
Mrs. 0. H. Fernald, Amherst, Mass., and the collections of Dr. James
Bailey and Mr. W. W. Hill, both of Albany, N. Y., deceased.

I owe thanks in each case to the owners of the collections above
named for courtesies extended to me and in sonic cases for lists of the
types contained in the collections; all of which are incorporated in the
following pages.

Perhaps a few words concerning " types" may not be entirely out of
place right here. Dr. Hagen holds that every specimen named by an
author of a species described by himself, is a type. Mr. Morrison was
yet more liberal and marked as "type" a number of specimens of spe-
cies described by Mr. Grote, having presumably compared them with
the actual type. Mr. Grote's practice seems to have been to mark all
specimens before him when writing hisorigiual description, as " type,"
and I think Mr. Grote is right. It is the sum of the characters of the
specimens before the describer that makes the species, and though
neither may be the type of all the characters, yet all are types of the
species. There are thus instances where types of Mr. Grote's species
are in two or more collections. This is more especially true of the spe-
cies described in his earlier and most recent writings; the first, pre-
sumably, because of the greater dependence for material upon individ-
ual collections; the second alter the sale of his collection, when he gave
away most, if not all, the material received. In the case of my own
species " types " are often even more widely distributed. I deem it a
positive advantage to have types in several collections, but I would
name nothing a type which came to hand after the original description
was written.

The Bailey collection is now in the hands of Dr. T. P. Bailey, son
of Dr. James Bailey, by whom the collection was made. It lias more
types than 1 have noted; but my notes on the collection are scant and
were made several years ago. The W. W. Hill collection is in the care
of his family, and is for sale. It contains comparatively few unique
types, but is valuable from the long series of specimens accurately
labeled with the exact locality and usually also with the date of cap
ture — a very treasure to the student. Dr. Lintner's collection is val-
uable for much the same reason. From these collections Mr.
Grote obtained much of the material from which he described, and the
returned specimens while not often marked "type" except in the early
days, are yet typical in that they formed part of the material on which
the species was based.

Dr. Thaxter has collected extensively in Massachusetts and Maine

12 PREFACE.

and to a less extent in Florida. These collections furnished types for
many species described by Mr. Grote, and of which Dr. Thaxter has
duplicates. His material is thus largely typical while not often marked
"type." The collections made by Mrs. Fernald at Orono. Me., are in
much the same case. She furnished the material for a number of new
species to Messrs. Grote and Morrison, but has few " types."

The Graef collection contains many rarities collected years ago, when
Mr. Grote first began his studies, and contains also a share of the ma-
terial collected by Morrison. A very great proportion of the species
were determined by Mr. Grote, and the specimens often form part ol
the material from which the descriptions were made.

The Hulst collection, now in my charge at Rutgers College, is espec-
ially rich in Catocalee, typifying Dr. Hulst's work in that genus, and it
contains types also in several other genera.

Prof. F. H. Snow, of Lawrence, Kans., has types of a few species, but
furnished the material for a considerable number of descriptions. His
New Mexican material was all named by Mr. Grote and is typical of
three papers on New Mexican moths.

Prof. George H. French, of Carbondale, Ills., has types of a few
species described by himself and there are a few other types scattered
in various collections.

Mr. David Bruce has collected extensively in Colorado and his col-
lections have furnished types of a considerable number of species, most
of them described by myself. Most of these types are not in Mr. Bruce's
collection; but I have so labeled some of the material returned to him,
where it formed part of the original lot from which the descriptions
were made. The determinations of my own species in that collection
are nearly all made by comparison with the original types.

Of Institutions containing uoctuid types, the Agricultural College of
Michigan contains the Tepper collection already mentioned. A few
type specimens are in the Cornell collection at Ithaca, N. Y. Rutgers
College has the Hulst collection and types of some of nay species. The
Hy. Edwards collection is in the American Museum of Natural History.

In the collection of the American Entomological Society of Philadel-
phia are a number of types of the species described by Messrs. Grote
and Robinson, and also of some described by Mr. Grote alone. In the
Canadian Entomologist, IV, 109, Mr. Grote writes concerning the work
by Mr. Robinson and himself: "The collection on which these and all
our other joint entomological writings were based, is now in the posses-
sion of the American Entomological Society.''' If that was true in 1872,
it certainly is not so now, because but a very few of the species are at
present in that collection. Of these, a very small proportion only have
a written label. Some have a little printed "type" label; but nothing
to indicate of what it is the type. In at least two cases I found these
"type" specimens under names with which they had no possible rela-
tionship. Fortunately the excellent figures given in illustration of the

PREFACE. 13

papers referred to. make it possible to ascertain the names of which, the
specimens are typical. But many species have disappeared, leaving
no trace; in whose hands they are at present I have been unable to
ascertain. Mr. Grote, in the third and fourth volumes of the Transac-
tions of the American Entomological Society, published a number 01
descriptions referring to the types as in this same collection. Most 01
these also have disappeared except in the Deltoids where nearly all are
present, properly labeled. Here, however, museum pests have been
at work and some of the specimens are in a very precarious condition.
I have compared many specimens to get a duplicate series as nearly as
possible resembling the originals. This series will be deposited in the
United States National Museum, when completed. But Mr. Grote's
statement, above cited, was too broad. I think he must have intended
to refer to the Noctuids only, for, certainly, many of the types in other
families are in the American Museum of Natural History, New York
city.

In the museum of the Boston Society of Natural History is the Har-
ris collection, containing a considerable number of specimens labeled
by Harris himself. There are also a few of Mr. Morrison's types in the
collection.

At Cambridge, in the Museum of Comparative Zoology, are most of
the types of Dr. Packard's species described from Labrador. These
were originally in the Museum of the Peabody Academy, at Salem,
where I first saw them, and they were then in a sadly fragmentary
condition, and on the high road to complete destruction. Their trans-
fer to Cambridge was a decidedly wise move, and when I last saw them
there they looked much better and bid fair to last for some time to
come. A carefully compared set of specimens is a desideratum. For
his work on the North American Lepidoptera, Zeller derived a consid-
able portion of his material from this collection, and most of his noctuid
types are here. A few Grote and Morrison types are also deposited
here.

The collections in the U. S. National Museum are very rich in
noctuidae, but have comparatively few types of the older authors. A
small number of the Walker types were donated to the museum by
Dr. C. J. S. Bethune, at my request, in 1891. All of Dr. Riley's species
are represented in the collection, forming part of his gift to the museum,
and in that collection were also a few Morrison types. Morrison's types,
it will be noted, are everywhere. The collection originally formed by
myself was purchased by the museum, and contained types of a few
species described by myself, and of a number of species described and
given me by Mr. Grote after the sale of his collection to the British
Museum. In the Meske collection, now also in the museum, there are
a few types by Grote, Harvey and Lintuer, while it also contains nearly
the same series of species to be found in the other Albany collections
previously mentioned. The Belfrage material purchased for the museum

14 PREFACE.

contains no types, but it contains a duplicate series of many of the
Texan species described by Messrs. Grote and Harvey, often under the
exact label in number and color mentioned in the characterization of
the type.

Of the species more recently described by myself, the museum con-
tains a large proportion of the types. It has been my effort to place,
so tar as I could do so, the types of all my species in this museum, and
to make it, for the future American students, as nearly typical and
complete as possible. My various contributions toward a monograph
of the noctuida? are based on this collection, and the collection is ar-
ranged and named in accord with my published work, which it thus
typifies. In the American noctuidre this collection is, in the quality of
material, the length of series, the localities represented, and range o±
variation shown, by far the best in the country or even in the world,
for the British Museum series is very much poorer in specimens, though
incomparably richer in types.

With the above explanation, the references to the location of types
made in the following pages will be easily understood.

As already indicated, my systematic work necessitated the forma-
tion of a card catalogue. Asa starting point I adopted Mr. Grote's
bibliographical list of 1874, and transferred it to cards, adding subse-
quent references from time to time so as to keep it up to date. Nat-
urally enough I followed Mr. Grote's plan at first and noted neither
the date of the publication nor the dates of flight, even when given.
Localities were indicated only in the most general terms. I soon found
that I could not rely on the accuracy of Mr. Grote's references in all
cases, and that there was no pretence of completeness in the biblio-
graphy. Occasionally only the name of the publication and page were
given and neither volume nor year. I have therefore, in almost every
case verified the references given, and where I have copied bibliography
and synonymy without verification I have generally stated that fact.
In spite of all care I can not hope to have escaped errors. Every ref-
erence has been transcribed from original note to card and from card
to manuscript, and finally transferred to type. This leaves a margin
for error, and although I have in the great majority of cases verified
the reference to original description from the manuscript, errors may
have crept in and may have been overlooked.

The omission of dates of publication in my original cards made it nec-
essary to go over every reference to make the additition and here I
found Dr. Hagen's "Bibliotheca" invaluable. Yet the dates given of
some of the older works issued in parts can be considered as approxi-
mate merely. In most cases this is of little practical importance, and
where it is, I have gotten as close to the truth as I could. Some of
these works bear the date of the preface or title page while the body
of the work may not have appeared for some years afterward. Hiib-
ner's Verzeichniss is dated 1810 and contains references to the noc-

PREFACE. 15

tuid;p in the second hundred of the Zutnege which, according to Mr.
Grote in Can. Eut., xin, 02, w;is published in 18U.">. Now, either the
referenees were published from five to seven years before the descrip-
tions and plates appeared or the Verzeiclmiss was not published until
long after its date. In view of this fact and the fact that the entire
first hundred of the Zutrsege is referred to, no earlier date than lsi'0
can be reasonably assumed for Iliibner's list. This makes it long- sub-
sequent.to Ochsenheimer's System a Glossatorum, .also dated in 1-SKi
and, I believe, actually published about that time. Yet I have cited
1816 as the date of the Verzeichniss in most cases where it conflicts
with no other reference. Usually the dates given by Dr. Hagen have
been accepted as controlling.

In citing references from society publications I have used the date
given on the printed forms, even where I was well assured that the date
\vns later, wherever this method would not involve the question of pri-
ority. The noctuidfe have been singularly fortunate in offering a very
few cases only in which there could be any serious doubt as to which
name had priority. In 1874 and 1875, when Messrs. Grote, Morrison,
Harvey, and Strecker were publishing at about the same time, several
species were twice described, with narrow margins between the dates
of publication; but these margins were at once fixed and no confusion
resulted. In a number of cases Mr. Grote has duplicated descriptions
in separate journals, each description purporting to be that of a "n. sp."
Thus, descriptions in the Bull. Bkln. Ent. Soc. are duplicated in the
Canadian Entomologist, while descriptions in that journal are dupli-
cated in the Bull. Buff. Soc. Nat. Sci. As this duplication occurred
mainly at about the date Mr. Morrison was describing, I assume that
it was intended to secure two chances of priority.

In citing localities to show geographical distribution, a variety of
difficulties arise. Few species are so evenly distributed as to occur
in all parts of any large region, and yet, in giving the geographical
range in a work of this character it is practically impossible to give
details even when ascertainable. Many of our States afford varieties
of surface, of climate and of geological formation that support quite
different sets of moths. To cite "New York," for instance, does not
indicate that the species occurs all over that State. Many species are
found on Long Island that are not found at Albany, while the Albany
region affords many peculiar forms not thus far duplicated elsewhere
in the State. The Catskill and Adirondack regions each have forms
peculiar to themselves, while along the northern and western bound-
aries of the State still other forms occur. Most of the other States are
in much the same case, and in some the matter is more serious. Texas
has two quite distinct faunal regions, one of them giving the normal
Atlantic forms, the other extending into New Mexico and Arizona, and
giving quite a distinctive set of species. Colorado has a surprisingly
varied fauna, as will appear in the following pages. Yet a citation by

16 PREFACE.

States or by groups of States has been the only one feasible. A species
may occur in New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Vermont and
Maine, and only in one or two localities in each; yet the entire geo-
graphical group will be cited. I have endeavored, however, to specify
as much as possible in a work of this kind. By such expressions as
"Canada to Texas to Colorado," it is intended to indicate that between
these extremes the species has been recorded from most of the States.
The term "Canada,". as here used, includes the Provinces of Ontario
and Quebec, other British possessions being cited as published or
labeled. Finally, I have reason to believe that the "East Florida" of
the British Museum list may mean Texas or Georgia as often as what
is now known as Florida.

The sources for the localities given are the original descriptions, lists
published by Lintuer, Thaxter, Snow, Van Duzee, Hill, Mrs. Fernald,
and others, in the entomological journals and elsewhere, a very com-
plete list of species taken in Colorado by Mr. Bruce, the collections at
Eutgers College, and in the National Museum, and the duplicate lists
of species named by me for correspondents for several years past. The
dates given are from the same sources, the National Museum collection
being especially well labeled in the Californian and Texan series.

My studies in the noctuids have been almost exclusively systematic,
and the references made by me on the cards were such as would facili-
tate my work in that direction. I have included all references to de-
scriptions of early stages, habits, etc., found in the entomological and
scientific journals or publications, but have not searched economic lit-
erature. This latter has grown to such enormous proportions in recent
years that it merits a separate index, and there is so much repetition,
so much compilation, and so much duplication that to include the mat-
ter here would have extended the work unnecessarily. Mr. Henry Ed-
wards in his catalogue of the described early stages of Lepidoptera,
Bulletin No. 35 of the National Museum, has covered this ground fairly
well, and I have not recognized the necessity of duplicating all his
references.

The only exceptions made are that I have cited Dr. Eiley's Missouri
reports, some of Dr. Liutner's reports, and the volumes of the Entomo-
logical Commission ; the first and second of these because they contain
descriptions of new species, and in the case of Dr. Eiley's reports, ex-
cellent and characteristic figures: the latter because the treatment is
scientific and monographic, containing exhaustive treatises on all pha.ses
of structure, habit, and development.

Bulletin 35 of the U. S. National Museum should be, therefore, bound*
with the present work to complement and complete it.

Our literature contains a large number of notes on species, giving no
new or useful information and of merely local interest. Eeferences to
these have been omitted. The object has been to give : (1) The place
of original description; (2) complete redescriptious; (3j additions to

PREFACE. 17

the knowledge concerning the species; (4) the changes made in generic
location. Under this latter head I have not included references to such
lists as adopt a different generic term for an entire genus, e. #., Mr.
Grote uses Apatela and Helioplithi for Acronycta and Leucania-, but I
have not cited his lists for this change in term since it does not carry
with it any suggestion of difference in structure. Where a species ap-
pears in the catalogue in a genus different from the ore last cited, the
reference is usually to be credited as original here or in my list of the
Lepidoptera of boreal America, published in 1891.

In synonyms the same rules are observed, because the literature of
the synonym is often better or more accessible than that of the original
species, and the final reference given is that which places the name as
a synonym. Usually I have given a reference only to the first positive
statement of the synonymy; but where more than one observer have
independently so referred a name, I have as a rule cited them all.
Where no reference to the synonymy appears in the bibliography it
is original here.

Finally, while I have given the reference to the original descriptions
of the genera, I have not given generic synonyms nor references to re-
descriptions of a genus. The generic synonymy appears sufficiently in
the bibliography of the species, while redescriptions will be readily found
under the same references. I have made no attempt to specify the " types "
of genera, for opinion differs in many cases in which I have made no
original study of the matter, and I do not care to adopt or reject con-
clusions without some verification. Usually Mr. Grote has been fol-
lowed except in his use of certain Hiibnerian genera. I do not think
that under the utmost latitude the Tentamen should be considered au-
thority for a generic term, while the Verzeichniss names so far as ap-
plicable must be used eventually. It follows from this that in some
cases older generic terms may have to be substituted for those now in
use; but I think such cases will not be great in number.

With this somewhat lengthy explanation of the origin and purpose
of the catalogue I submit it to the consideration of lepidopterists gen-
erally.

All the species contained in the National Museum collection are marked
with an asterisk (*). I hope that those who have species not so marked,
in duplicate, will send specimens to complete the collection for the ben-
efit of students generally. The advantage of a central, complete col-
lection accessible at all times, constantly cared for, the property for all
scientific ends of students generally, can not be overestimated.

INDEX TO AUTHORS AND WORKS CITED.

Only those works of an author cited in the catalogue are here noted.
Works published in the Proceedings or Transactions of an Institute or
Society are cited from the society's publication in most instances, and
only rarely by the title of the memoir. Under the name of each author
is given a list of his books here cited. Names which have no such lists
appended, represent authors that have published on American Noctuidse
in periodical, society, or institute literature only. Periodical, society,
and institute literature is indexed by the first word of the usual abbre-
viation. Separate works are found only under the name of the author
and are not independently indexed by their usual abbreviation.

So far as it goes, Hagen's Bibliotlieca Entomoloyica has furnished
dates and titles; more recent works are in most cases given from my
own notes. The dates given are of the beginning and end of works
issued in parts, or those given on the title page of others. Periodical
literature is not dated here, the date ot the volume or part cited being
always given in the catalogue.

HABITAT. — United States generally, northward to Alaska. Northern

I refer this species to Thyatira because I have not been able to find
any essential differences between it and batis. The type of maculation
is quite distinct, but does not suffice for generic separation. In the
Edwards collection there is an Alaskan specimen, and in the British
Museum one from Hudson Bay Territory, which indicate a new species.
They are much darker in color, and in the course of the t. a. line agree
with derasa rather than with scripta.

HABITAT. — Washington.

The type is in Mr. Neumoegen's collection. In proposing the genus
Euthyatira for the two species here associated, I wish to express iny con-
viction that the American species heretofore referred to Thyatira are
not at all congeneric with batis, the type of the genus. There is a cer-
tain similarity in the type of maculatiou, but none in wing form or in
other details.

I follow Mr. Grote in the use of this Hiibnerian term, because Cyma-
tophora has beeii used in the Geouietridaj, and the term has become
confusing. It is quite certain that our species are not congeneric; but
all are very rare, and I have never had any material for study.

Genus LEPTINA, Gn.

The types of all the species in this genus, with the exception of late-
bricola, Grt., are in the British Museum. Latebricola type, is in the
collection of the American Entomological Society, and is, as Mr. Grote
suggests, the same as dormitans. On the other hand, anstralis is not,
as I had supposed from specimens named by Mr. Grote, the same as
ophihalmica, but probably a good species. Mr. Grote has mixed vari-
etal forms of Guenee's species with his own. As the matter stands no\v,
after studying all the types, the species divide as follows:

Shoulders and base of primaries concolorous DORMITANS.

Shoulders and base of primaries white.

Median lines complete, even, white DOUBLEDAYI.

T. p. line incomplete, reuiform distinct OPIITHALMICA.

seen propinquilinea, I believe, in Mr. Thaxter's collection, but the speci-

The Grote and Walker types are in the British Museum. Mr. Cra-

Edwards collection. I have seen all the types and the above synon-
ymy is correct, I believe. The Raphia onychlna Gn., was described as
Epunda, referred to Raphia by Walker and to Cleoceris by Grote. This
has resulted in a duplication of the name in my list of Lepidoptera.

Mr. Morrison's type is in the Tepper collection. Mr. (1 rote's types I
have not seen. They may be in the British Museum; but if so I over-
looked them. The species has not been critically studied, and the true
relation of the forms is yet in doubt. The American form may yet
prove distinct, though a very close ally to the European insect. I am
not nearly so ready to believe in the identity of European and Ameri-
can species as I once was.

Iii this genus and in the following, from which the present has been
separated, I have few original notes. Dr. Riley has been accumulating
material for several years past for a critical and revisional monograph
of the species, and what little I have done is in his hands. Dr. Biley
has made comparisons in the European museums, and I did not, there-
fore, look over the species except as they came accidentally under my
notice. So, too, I have given the location of the types only where they
are in American collections of whicli 1 had notes, or where I accident-
ally noted the fact. The bibliography, however, is as nearly complete
as iu most other genera.

mentioned by Thaxter and Dimmock are of this species, or of pallhli-
comcij or of some other yet unnamed species, is thus left uncertain.

species. As Mr. Grote's determination is incorrect, the species is
nameless and Dr. Harris's name becomes available.

AGROTIS Auct.

The species classed under the above generic term have been mono-
graphically treated by me in Bulletin No. 38 of the United States Na-

the collections in the Museum are arranged. I have carefully com-
pared all the types in the European Museums with the characteristics

CATALOGUE OF NOCTUID.E — SMITH. 51

given for them, and have noted the discrepancies where such e: isted.
It would be waste of space to cite this monograph for every species,
and to the end of Carneades, the reference is understood even whore
not made. It is to be noted that I claim generic value for all the di-
visions proposed by nie, and the title Ayrotis Auct., is simply a con-
veuieut heading for this note.

I have compared the type of gilvipennis in the British Museum with
a good series of the Siberian cliardinyi, and find the two species dis-
tinct. The points of difference are numerous, and I have restored Mr.
Grote's name. The reference to the synonymy was made by Mr. Mor-
rison, accepted by Mr. Grote, and, without opportunity of comparing
the Asiatic form, I followed these authors in my monograph. I have
collected a considerable number of specimens of our American form and
have examined many others without seeing any that agreed with Bois-
duval's species. A specimen marked "gilvipennis type" by Mr. Mor-
rison, is in the National Museum.

Mr. Grote has utterly mistaken Guenee's species. One of the types
or specimens from which the description was made is in the British
Museum. It is a poor, somewhat rubbed specimen, but it is unques-
tionably Mr. Grote's cupida. The original type of cupida is in the col-
lection of the American Entomological Society at Philadelphia and a
duplicate "type" is in the British Museum. The type of Graphiphora
velata Walker is also referable to the same species, as Mr. Butler has
stated. The type of brunneipennis is with Mr. Thaxter and I have seen
it in his collection.

Types of each of these names are in the British Museum. Mr. Grote's
remarks on his orbis thoroughly misled me, and I referred the name to
cupidissima. As a matter of fact, the type of orbis is simply variata
without the bluish scales, and one of the specimens labeled by Mr.
Grote is typical variata. The specimens of variata in the collections
U. S. National Museum are like the type.

Mr. Grote bad named cupidissima in Mr. Neumoegen's collection, a
series of specimens which I assumed were correctly determined. In-
terpreting Mr. Grote's descriptions by these specimens, I made orbis
and Icetula synonyms of cupidissima in the monograph. The true cupi-
dissima is very different from this species, and neither orbis nor Icctula
agree at all with it. A new name for what I have erroneously charac-
terized as Mr. Grote's species is therefore necessary, and I propose
trigona, as above. The types of this species are the specimens named
cupidissima by me in the collections U. S. National Museum.

HABITAT. — California.

The male type is in the British Museum, and had been heretofore un-
known to me. It is broad-winged, somewhat like Orthodes, and quite
unlike any other of the species of this genus. It has no very close
allies, and is placed in the series here because the orbicular, so far as it
is traceable, is complete.

Types of each of the above species are in the British Museum. A
large series of bred specimens in the collections of the National Mu-
seum proves that the black-tipped collar is not a specific character in
this species, and that the black filling in the cell around the ordinary
spots is a variable quantity. The species named facula and formalis
by me agree with the types. Insular is is a somewhat more evenly red
brown form of facula, while emarginata is also the same species, but
quite uniform in color, the ordinary spots faintly outlined by yellow
scales.

The type of costata in the British Museum is a very poor specimen,

The type in the British Museum is nothing like the specimens so
named by Mr. Grote in Mr. Neumoegen's collection, and which I ac-
cepted as correct. The real species I had not seen before. In size it is
like alternata and there is a distinct blackish costal patch in the s. t.
space preceding s. t. line. In the character of the ordinary spots it is
nearest to discoidalis. I find four specimens of the species in the Na-
tional Museum, which have been more recently added to the collection.

The European synonymy and bibliography are not given. In the
British Museum is a specimen marked Polyphcenis herbacea in what
appears to be Guene'e's handwriting, and this agrees very well with his
description. It is not the type. Guenee appears to have known
prasina from North America, but a large bright-green specimen such, as
is sometimes met with might easily have misled him into considering
this American form distinct. In the Cambridge Museum 1 have seen
a specimen of prasina labeled herbacea by Mr. Grote; it is unspread
and might easily serve as type of Guenee's description. The type is
in collection "Marchand"; but what has become of this I do not know.

The types of Mr. Grote's species are in the British Museum, and so
is also elimata Gn. With them are specimens labeled dilucida by Mr.
Grote, and these are exactly like Gueiiee's species. Mr. Morrison
labeled a number of specimens as " type" and I have seen several of them
in collections. They include specimens like Guenee's type and also
like Mr. Grote's janualis. Mr. Morrison pointed out some of the char-
acters differentiating his species from elimata; but these are not essen-
tial. As the forms stand in the British Museum, they look like good
species; elimata rather more gray with the markings well defined and
the apices of primaries distinct; badicollis much like it in wing form
and markings, but still paler and with a contrasting pale collar -, janualis
rounder winged, apices more obtuse, markings almost obsolete. In the
large series in the U. S. National Museum the differences seem to vanish ;
but none of the specimens are like typical badicollis, which I never
saw previously. Mr. Thaxter also has types of Mr. Grote's species.
To differentiate the various forms I have given varietal rank to Mr.
Grote's names. Dr. Liutner also has a "type" of badicollis.

The type of Walker's species, from the Bethime collection, is now in

the British Museum does not seem to be the type; but is the species
Mr. Grote has always so determined. Mr. Morrison's type is now in
the Tepper collection, and agrees in all respects with Mr. Grote's speci-
mens, and of course, therefore, as well with Walker's.

The type of this species is in the Museum of Comparative Zoology

seum; but matters were there in great confusion. Since that time the
insects have been transferred to Cambridge, and what remains of the
type is found there. Staudinger's suggestion that it may be a form of
carnea is contradicted by the autennal characters ; but the reference to
Paclmobia is correct. It looks like pcctinata Grt., with the maculation
scarcely traceable, and there is no difficulty in recognizing the species,
A specimen marked " type" by Mr. Morrison is in the National Museum,

I was quite surprised to find that Mr. Grote's type iu the British
Museum was my species. The specimens originally labeled by mo
came from Dr. Hulst's collection. Afterwards I found in the Riley col-
lection in the National Museum a specimen labeled by Mr. Morrison
" Pseudorthisia pectinata type." I therefore did not describe the spe-
cies in 1887 with the other species named by me. Subsequently I com-
pared the specimen with the original description and concluded that it
could not well be intended to apply to this species and renamed it.
The National Museum specimen is labeled by me as type, and a "type"
is also in the Tepper collection.

[A number of Colorado specimens seen recently make it certain that
this is but a form of Uttoralis Pack. Pectinata may stand for the
variety with distinct median lines.]

In both the Graef and Neumoegeii collections there are specimens

In the British Museum is a specimen marked docilis Grt. type,
which is without any doubt a form of occulta. It is from Snow, Colo-
rado, No. 894, and is entirely different from the specimen marked
docilis in the Edwards collection. From the description and Mr. Grote's
remarks on the species, I am persuaded that a form of perexcellens was
really what Mr. Grote intended to describe and that Mr. Edwards's
specimen represents the form to which the name should have been
attached. The small specimen of occulta, similar in color, probably
escaped notice among the other specimens and received the type label.
It makes no practical difference which specimen is accepted as type,
since in either case the name goes into the synonymy.

The type oip&rconflua is like the type ofjuctinflu, and Mr. Grote's name
sinks. Perconflua is undoubtedly the species Mr. Grote has written
of as conf.ua; but the specimen in the British Museum, labeled conflua
by Mr. Grote, is rubifcra. The type of esuria.Ua, also in the Museum,
is without doubt the same species, differing only in that the orbicular
is imperfectly closed superiorly, and the cell between the ordinary
spots more prominent than usual. The specimen is from Washington,
and is perhaps a good geographical race.

1891. Butler, Entomologist, xxiv, 238— Agr. pln/llopliora.

HABITAT. — Georgia.

The female type in the British Museum represents a species I had
not before seen. It is imperfect, lacking the abdomen; but the front is
smooth; the foretibise are spiuose and the palpi are as in clandestina.
It looks like a red altemata with all the maculation washed out, leav-
ing-only the slightly paler median lines. Mr. Butler has placed phyl-
loplwra, alternata, varix, and variata under this name as representing
one species, and in the Entomologist, xxiv, 238, says: "Walker's type
is slightly faded and without abdomen, but is certainly typical A. pliyl-
lopliora, which it will probably supersede." This was published while
I was in England, but I did not see it until after iny return, else I would
have made more detailed comparisons. The specimen did not even sug-
gest phyllopliora to uie, and it can not be that species; first, because it
has none of its characteristic markings, and second, because it is from
Georgia, while phyllophorais decidedly a Northern insect, and has never,
in my experience, been taken as far South as Washington, D. C., where
trhere have been good collectors at work. I believe the specimen to be
one of those taken by Abbot, and a species which has not been since
found. Among the unpublished drawings by Abbot in the British
Museum are a number of Noctuida1 that I never saw and that are cer-
tainly undescribed. Such species as Varina ornata Neuin., described
only a year or two ago, were figured and the habits noted by Abbot,
and the specimens were afterward named by Walker. No onehas since
collected Lepidoptera systematically on Abbot's old ground, and when
that is once done, I have no doubt that s-ubporphyrea Wlk. will be re-
discovered.

A specimen marked albalis type is in the British Museum, and another
is in the Bailey collection. The two are not alike. The specimen in
the British Museum collection has a very clear, bright, bluish white
ground, while that in the Bailey collection has a more sordid ap-
pearance and is really a rather shabby specimen of cloanthoides, of
which Mr. Graef has the type. I have recently received a Colorado
specimen exactly like the type of albalis, and now consider it a good
variety at least. A similar specimen is in the National Museum, labeled
by Mr. Grote.

The type in the British Museum is a good species, which I had not

ceding, from which, however, it differs by greater size and brighter
colors, which are more nearly like siibgothica than any other.

The types of Mr. Grote's vancouverensis and semiclarata are in the

has been examined by me, but I have no memorandum as to its loca-

Mr. Fletcher and does not refer to a distinct species. A specimen of
vancouverensis marked type is also in the Hy. Edwards collection.

Grote's figure in the illustrated essay. This is utterly incorrect in

The type of Walker's species is in the British Museum. Mr. Butler
also cites anteposita Gn., Noct., I, 278, as a synonym, and perhaps cor-
rectly so. I have not seen a typical example, and as the species is de-

warrant much search. There is a considerable South and Central

identified it with Eucoptocnemis fimbriaris Gn., than which it is nar-
rower winged with almost the same maculation. Its association with
the species of this genus is probably correct; but I have had no oppor-
tunity to examine a male critically. I have a specimen compared with
the type. The National Museum specimens are under the name Eucop-
tocnemis fimbriaris, labeled by Mr. Morrison.

CATALOGUE OF NOCTUID.E SMITH. 87

Mr. Grote, whicli is not the same species. Tlie iusect is from Tucson,
Ariz., and is from Mr. Neumosgen's collection. In that collection
are other specimens also labeled t<:r«mi and from them I drew the
character for the species, in my revision. I had not been able at that
time to find the type in the Philadelphia collection; but a recent
systematic search discovered the specimens under a misleading- label.
Indeed, but for the fact that one of the specimens was obviously the
original of the figure above cited, they could not have been identified
with certainty at all. As it is, the ty|)e proves a Porosagrotis instead
of a CarneadeSj and the insect I described in my revision lacks a name.
The $ antennae are pectinated, secondaries white in the male, only a
little soiled in the female. The claviform is obvious. It is between
rileyi and orthogonia, differing obviously from either. The types have
no locality labels, and 1 have no information as to who collected them.
It is possible that it may prove more nearly related to my obcsula than
I now believe, when abundant material is at hand.

This species is placed under Agrotis furcifera Wlk., in the British
Museum collections, in my opinion erroneously. Mr. Walker has also
described a specimen as Agrotis transversa, which is almost certainly
the same as Morrison's species. There are, however, several forms
from Central or South America that come very close, and as careful
and critical study would be required to decide specific limitations, for
which I had not the time, I prefer leaving the name as it is, simply
calling attention to the probabilities, and to the necessity for further

study.

The type is in the Graef collection. A specimen in the British
Museum is somewhat more maculate; but seems to be the same. Mr.
Butler refers it to Cliera birivia, Hbn., arid I can not myself find any
obvious differences between them. Birivia is an alpine species, and I
am not ready to believe, without the most critical comparison, that the
two are identical, though superficially they seem alike. I have there-
fore retained Mr. Grote's name for the present. If Chcra has as type
this species, it will have to replace Carneades. Mr. Grote's specimen

has no locality.

Dr. Harvey's type is in the British Museum, and is like the type of
xyliniformis in the National Museum. Dr. Harvey's figure is poor and
does not suggest this species at all. Mr. Grote's reference of the spe-

Harris's type is in the Boston Society of Natural History, where I
have seen it. tip i SMI Gn., as determined by Walker, is the same spe-
cies; but the type is not in the British Museum. Walker found this
speeies a veritable silver mine, seven hard shillings being its value to
him, and as many of his types are in the Museum. Dr. Eiley's type is
in the National Museum. Mr. Morrison's is in the Tepper collection.

The type, or a specimen so marked, is in the British Museum and
agrees fully with specimens in American collections. In Stand ingers
collection, at Dresden, 1 saw his types of labradoriensis, and they are
undoubtedly the saine as opiptini. They are as unquestionably dis
tinct from the true islandica, the type of which F had the chance .of
comparing with it.

The types of the Walker and Grote names are all in the British
Museum and they refer to one speeies only. Inn ulna is a somewhat
evenly colored form, with the cell but slightly contrasting; otherwise
there is no difference. Decolor Morr., of which I have also seen the
type, is the form in which there is considerable contrast between the
light and dark shades, while in type campestris the color is even and
the median lines become more marked.

Mr. (irote has curiously mistaken Walker's species in referring it to
Hadena xufinsca Morr. It does hear a casual resemblance to Mr. Mor-
rison's species; hut the generic characters should have prevented the
association. However, Mr. Morrison does furnish an exact synonym,
tor ilhtta is almost precisely like einereomaculata, the type of which I
have seen. The types of Mr. ( i rote's species are in the British M useum.
Guenee's type is in the Oberthiir collection at Rennes.

Mr. Butler has placed a somewhat faintly marked specimen, labeled
turi'ix by Mr. Grote, under xaucia, and has published them as identical.

Mr. Grote's type in the British Museum is exactly like my types in
Mr. Neum 03 gen's collection and in the National Museum. I am not at
all satisfied that there is not a good species such as I have placed in the
4- den ta ta series in the "Revision;" but Mr. Grote's type is unquestion-
ably like my infelix and my name sinks. The species is an excessively
variable one, and its exact limits are scarcely defined as yet.

C. islandica Stgr.
1857. Stgr., Stett. Ent. Zeit., 1857, 232, Agrotis.

HABITAT. — Iceland.

A good series of this species is in Staudinger's collection, and both
sexes are also represented in the museum at Berlin. Like the surround-
ing species, this is extremely variable, resembling both obeliscoides and
tessellata. The maculatiou is perhaps more like the latter; but the
color contrasts are sharper, and the species as a whole is brighter. I
can not understand why Standiuger considered his labradoriensis a
variety. He has now associated it in the collection with dissona, which
it resembles much more nearly. In the Grote collection in the British
Museum is a specimen of opipara labeled islandica by Mr. Grote, and
also a California species labeled in the same way. The latter is really
much more nearly correct.

C. colata Grt.

1881. Grt., Can. Eut., xm, 131, Agrotis.

The type is in the British Museum. It is not so near tessellata as
the description indicates; but it is very near cola ta — so near indeed
that except for the ground color there is little difference. It will prob-
ably result eventually that the two are identical. Since my return
from England, Mr. Bruce has sent me this species for identification.

I liave not been able to find this species in the British Museum, nor
lias Mr. Butler been able to trace it. Messrs, Grote and Robinson saw
it, and to them it suggested a rubbed tritici. It is quite likely to lie
either tessellata or iitxiilsa, and is almost certainly a species known to
us under another name.

Here ends the agrotid series. I have omitted Afjrotis veiusta Wlk.,
of which the type is lost, and which can not possibly be made out from

The types are in the British Museum, and represent a species I had
never seen. I wonder whether Mr. Morrison really had this species be-
fore him when he wrote in 1874? I have seen specimens of At/rolls-
wortliingtoni labeled Jimln-inr'ts in Mr. Morrison's handwriting in the
National Museum and elsewhere, and the description given fits \vell to
what I have seen of that species. Unfortunately the wing form which

110 BULLETIN 44, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM.

might decide is not given. In color and inaculation worthingtoni and
Jimbriaris agree wonderfully well, and both have lengthily pectinated
antennae. But Jimbriaris has oddly short, broad wings, while the others
are normal for Porosagrotis. Walker's species has the "locality un-
known."

The type of detracta is in the British Museum ; that of staudingeri I
have seen by the courtesy of Mr. Moeschler, and there are specimens
named by Moeschler in the Berlin Museum. Mr. Morrison's type is in
the Tepper collection. These all refer to one species, no specimens from
Colorado being in any collection. I have been unable to find any de-

Genus PSAPHIDIA Wlk.
1865. Wlk, C. B. Mus., Hot., xxxn, 447.

Under the title Dicopincc, the genera Dicopis, Eutolype, and Copi-
panolis are monographically treated by me in the Proceedings of the
U. S. National Museum for 1892, Vol. xv, pp. 52-63. All the species
are fully described there, and special reference to this paper is not
made except where necessary to authenticate a species or give author-
ity for a change. The generic term Psaphidia Wlk., must, under the
rules, replace Dicopis, though not nearly so appropriate and certainly
not as well described.

The types of the Grote and Walker species are in the British Museum,
and are the same as my desperata. Mr. Butler's reference was not made
until October 1891, after my revision was published. I had had the
species as dimmocki, and had so named it in the National Museum and
elsewhere. Mr. Grote's description misled me and induced me to cor-
rect a supposed misidentification. The type is somewhat rubbed ; but
the M of the s. t. line is distinct, not wanting, as stated by Mr. Grote.

The types of albifusa and oregonica are in the British Museum; that
of ghtucovaria is in the collection of the Ent. Soc. of Ontario. I have
omitted marmorosa as a variety, because it does not agree with any of
our forms, and may indeed be specifically distinct. Mr. Neumcegen
also has a " type " of oregonica.

The type of acutipennis is somewhat more than usually powdery; but
else I find no difference from mcina. The specimen is badly set, giving
the wings a peculiarly pointed appearance, which apparently sug-

Genus HADENA Sfhrauk.
1804. Schrank, Fauna Boica, n, 2, 158.

This genus will probably stand subdivision into several genera. Two
rather well-marked groups, or subgenera, Xylopliasia &\\<\. Luperina ,
have been monographed by me in the Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 1890, Vol.
xin, pp. 407-447, and this paper is not cited save when necessary to
authenticate a change. It is likely that, eventually, both of these sub-
divisions will take generic rank, and the term Hadena will probably
be restricted to one of them. The species not included in the above
revision are for the present placed into a section Hadena merely to
separate them. As usual, unless otherwise stated, my identification
of the species was correct.

The type is with Mr. Graef, and a considerable number of specimens
indicate quite a variable species. Curiously enough I have never seen
a male.

ber; Colorado; Oregon.

The types of passer, incallida, and viralis are in the British Museum;
those of loculata and conspicua are in the Tepper collection; a specimen
of loculata also marked " type" is in the British Museum. Mr. Walker's
type is a badly rubbed specimen, undoubtedly the same as passer. I can
not understand how both Mr. Grote and Mr. Butler could see any re-
semblance to venerabilis, and at all events the structural characters
should have prevented the reference. Mr. Grote's type of viralis is a
badly faded and discolored specimen, also without doubt the same as
passer. In the Cambridge Museum is a specimen of this same species
marked u Hadena destructor Peck,'? in Mr. Grote's handwriting.

Walker's type is in the British Museum, and is this species of Hiib-

ner's.

HABITAT. — New York in June and July; Wisconsin.

The type is in the British Museum. I find I had entirely mistaken this
species. It has nothing to do at all with ducta nor with the devastatrix
group, in fact, but belongs with the vultuosa series. It is a very close
ally in uiaculatiou to remissa, or yet nearer to the European (jemina,
but much darker and with all the pale markings wanting. The W-
mark in the s. t. line is distinct, the orbicular oblique, and there is a
broad dash between the ordinary lines. I can not at present remem-
ber where I obtained the specimens marked separans, which led to my
erroneous reference.

HABITAT. — Canada to Texas; Colorado, August; New York, May,

Mr. Grote has referred this species, the type of which is in the Tcp-
per collection, to illata Wlk.; but that species is really an Agrotid, as
described by Mr. Walker, and is the cinereomaculata form of turris.
There is a vague sort of resemblance between the species, but an
examination of the generic characters should have prevented the
reference.

Walker's type is in the British Museum, and is what we know as
lateritia. On the other hand, both insignata and dnbitans Wlk., do not
agree with lateritia, but are exactly the same as Mr. Grote's sputatrix.
Insignata has been referred to both species at different times by Mr.
Grote.

Types are in the National Museum, at Rutgers College and in the
Neumo?gen collection. The type of Walker's insignata described in
the Can. Nat. and Geol., I owe to the courtesy of Mr. Moffat, curator
for the Entomological Society of Ontario. It is a very poor specimen,
but undoubtedly the species described by me. Fortunately Walker
had preoccupied the name in 1857 for a closely allied species.

HABITAT. — California.

The "type" is in the British Museum; but I am not sure it is a fair
representative of the species Mr. Grote meant to describe. It seems to
be really a form of castanea, as Mr. Grote suggested; but the specimen
in the Tepper collections, also marked "type" by Mr. Grote, is more
nearly allied to arctica, and is a good species as shown in my Revision.
I prefer still to consider the form described by me as the species in-
tended by Mr. Grote, the more so as I could not by comparison of the
sexual characters of the British Museum "type" decide the question
positively.

HABITAT. — Maine to Texas ; Wisconsin ; Arizona ; Northern States,

The types of both names are in the British Museum, and are un-
doubtedly the same species, much to my surprise. The cariosa type is
a dark form of what I have always labeled with the same name; but
the cariosa of the Grote collection is what I have supposed was idonea.
I am the more surprised at this as my original knowledge of Guentie's
species was based upon specimens labeled by Mr. Grote. I had sup-
posed idonea to be the western representative of cariosa. I find now
that there are probably two species covering the same range. Mr.
Grote seems to have realized the same fact; but in separating them he
unfortunately selected as type exactly the same form described by
Gueuee. The matter needs farther study. I had no males of "idonea"
before me when I wrote, and therefore can not be sure that the charac-
ters given by ine authorize a new specific name.

I have seen the types of vigilans, senescens, and semisigna in the
British Museum. Mr. Butler refers semisigna Wlk., to senescens; but
in my notes I have referred it to vigilans, I think more correctly. The
specimens of crasis in the museum left me in doubt as to the synonymy;
but this doubt was removed by the specimens in the museum at Berlin.
Mr. Moeschler long ago sent me a specimen of his erdmani, labeled
—crasis. We have herd a decidedly variable species, the gray form
being senescens Grt., and the crasis of the Berlin Museum. The reddish
form is vigilans Grt., and. erdmani Moeschl., with semisigna Wlk., some-
what intermediate but nearer to vigilans. In maculation the median
lines vary in distinctness and the ordinary spots in the amount of black
surrounding them. The species is not common, and I think I have
seen nearly all the specimens in the American collections.

The type in the British Museum is a poor, crushed female, closely

may prove a suffused form of Mr. Grote's species, but it will need more
material than I have seen to decide. Mr. Butler places it in Dicopis,
evidently without reference to the essential characters of that genus.

HABITAT. — Southern Texas.

The type is in the British Museum and is a Heliothid, I think. It
most resembles Mcliclc/tlria, and has the anterior tibia armed with a
claw. I could not decide positively from the specimen where it best
belonged and leave the species in the present genus until more material
is at hand. It was unknown to me in 1889.

HABITAT. — Arizona, Fort Huachuca.

The type is in theNeunm-gen collection. I have had a recent cliance
to examine it, and find it a Heliothid, probably best referred to Pseu-
clautha'ci<i. The material is too scant for positive reference and I leave
it here with the probabilities indicated.

did not see it.

I can not quite see why Mr. Butler refers chalcedonia to Mamestra
an&festivoiflcs to Oligia. The two are surely closely enough related to
be congeneric.

Mr. Morrison's type is in the Tepper collection; the others are in the
British Museum. Mr. Grote suggested very doubtfully that Guenee
might have intended to describe paginata; but figure and description
pointed to Platysenta atriciliata so decidedly that I felt justified in mak-
ing the reference in my recent list. Mr. Butler suggested that paginata
might be unisignata Wlk., if the former was correctly named in the Mu-
seum. Harvey's type of clara is a dull, dark specimen, but unques-
tionably the same species.

Genus PERIGEA Gn.
1852. Gn., Spec. Gen., Noct., I, 225.

The species of this genus must be studied in connection with material
from the West Indian 'fauna before a stable nomenclature can be at-
tained. There are either several species resembling each other very
closely or there are some that are widely distributed and somewhat
variable.

Guenee's type is in the British Museum. Mr. Grote, 111. Essay, 45,
refers P. mobilis Wlk., C. B. M., Het., x, i'77, as a synonym to this
species, but I think incorrectly so. Walker's type is from the West
Indies and differs quite evidently from our specimens. It may prove
a geographical race eventually, but the material is not yet at hand to
decide this positively. The type of en it-n is also in the British Museum,
and without a large amount of material certainly looks like a distinct
species.

The types of all the names are in the British Museum, and all refer

abandoned because already used in an allied genus is settled by Gueuee's
taking it. Vecors had not been identified heretofore.

The types are in the British Museum. Claufacta is a rubbed speci-
men, but of the normal type. Commoda is a, more obscure form in
which the white is almost eliminated. It is quite probable that Walker
has still further described the species from South America, but I had
no time to study the matter, and the relief of our own literature from
unidentified names was my chief object.

HABITAT. — " United States;" St. Domingo.

Walker's types are in the British Museum. That of punctifera is one
of Doubleday's specimens without locality and may have come from
Florida. The other specimens are under the other name, one from the
uWest Indies," the other from Jamaica. Walker gives it from St.
Domingo. The insect has the wing form of albolabes, but it is much
smaller. It is like fabrefacta in color; the ordinary spots are well
marked and the reniform is spotted with white.

Types of major are in the Neunnegen collection and in the British
Museum. The types of ciirvicollis are in the National Museum and
in the Neuinoagen and Graef collections and have been already re-
ferred to major by me. The type of aqualis is in the British Museum,
and is also the same as major; it is smaller, and the dashes in the s. t.
space are not interrupted; but this is a variable character, and in the
type of major in the Museum, they are barely to be termed interrupted.
The British Museum types both of major and aqualis are females.

O. oblita Grt.
1877. Grt., Bull. Geol. Survv in, 117, Oncocnemis.

HABITAT. — Nevada.

The type is in the British Museum. It agrees well with the descrip-
tion, but does not seem to be an Oncocnemis; at least I can not make
out a claw to the fore tibia. 1 have seen the species without recognizing
it. Mr. Grote states positively "Fore tibia? with a short claw," and as
it is possible that the type specimen has become defective, 1 can not at
present dispute the reference.

Types are in the Edwards collection and in the British Museum.
The Edwards specimen I had seen when I wrote in 1889, and the Mu-
seum specimen simply confirms my opinion. The anterior tibiae are as
in Melicleptria, shortened, with a single stout claw. The wings are
broad, trigonate, the head small, eyes ovate. I leave it here until a new
study of the Heliothid series brings it into a more natural relationship.

HABITAT. — Oregon ; Colorado.

The type is in the British Museum. It is a robust, xyliuoid form
with retracted head and short tongue, and has the appearance of Scoto-
chrosta. The markings are strigate as in the Cuculliid series and it is
a rather near ally of my Pleroma, I think. It seems a little out of place-
here; but until the material can be critically studied it had better be
left as it is. Mr. Bruce has recently sent me a specimen from Colo-
rado, which agrees fairly well with the type.

The economic bibliography of this insect is large, and only a mere
outline is here given to accredit the species and varieties.

The types of macra and of Walker's species are in the British Mu-

HABITAT. — California, March, April, August to November; Colorado.

The type is in the British Museum. A tine series of specimens in
the National Museum, many of them bred, long since led me to the
conclusion that the species was a good one, but better referred to
Laphyyma than to Caradriiiti.

HABITAT. — Florid a.

The type is in the Tepper collection. To the kindness of Prof.
Cook I owe. an opportunity of studying the type. It is, like so many of
Morrison's types, a poor specimen, and ^yilI probably be found referable
to Lussa Grt., and a not distant relative of L. nigroynttata.

A distinctly marked yet strongly variable species. The names above
given apply to our own fauna only; the insect has been further rede-
scribed by Walker as Xyl'uui in<jiti<'ta,Proflenia strigif era, wa& Leucania
extcrna, and by Mr. Butler as Prodenia if/nobilis. The types of these
latter are in the British Museum. Mr. Hulst's type is now at Rutgers,
and Mr. Morrison's is with Mr. Graef. I think there are yet more
names, but as they are based on other than boreal American specimens,
they are not noted here.

closely enough to make sure it was not there. There is also a specimen

The types of Walker's species are in the British Museum, which also
contains specimens of Mr. Grote's species not marked type. Where
the original types are I can not say. Prof. Comstock may have that of
melanopyga. Walker's species are exactly alike save as to degree of
imperfection, and I can not make anything different out of vulnijica.
The characters given by Mr. Grote for melanopyga are very feeble and
are evanescent in character, a fact which he has realized to the extent
of citing it a variety in his revised list of 1890.

I have not seen the type of this species, and do not know certainly

where it is. In the Cambridge collection is a specimen marked Hdlo-

phila (/)-«cilli»((t type; but I find no such species described. Is it pos-

sible thai Mr. Grote's description was intended for this insect? It is

not unlikely, for the description applies fairly well. Mr. Thaxter has

marked it "bieolorata" and the two are very nearly related if not

identical.

Mr. Grote's type is in the British Museum, where there is also a
specimen named juncicola, apparently determined by Guenee. Guenee
credits the species to Boisduval, but describes it himself for the first
time. The specimen agrees well with the description and may, I
think, be fairly considered as representative of juncicolu which, then,
is the same as culjnia.

HABITAT. — Massachusetts in April and May; New York, in June
and August, to Texas.

Walker's type is in the British Museum. In the Grote collection
are three specimens labeled zelleri by Mr.Grote, not types, which agree
Avith the type of tristrigclla. The locality of the latter is "unknown.'1

species. Walker's species was given as " locality unknown."

C. terminellus Grt.
1883. Grt., Can. Ent., xv, 132, Adipsophanes.

HABITAT. — Texas.

The type is with Mr. Neumoegeu.

Carvanca trisectaWYk., which is interpolated here in my List of Lepi-
doptera, is Crambus intermineUus Wlk. Both the types are in the Brit-
ish Museum.

Belonging here, and probably a species of Nolopliana, is Cutina albo-
punctella Wlk., C. B. Mus., xxxv, 1735, I860, described as a Pyralid.
The species is the generic type, and the description as applied to the
specimen is a wonderful production. While I feel quite certain that
the specimen is a Nolopliana or Balsa, I would not dare to risk a guess
at the species at present.

I follow Staudinger and the continental entomologists generally in
using Ampliipyra instead of PyropMla Hbn., Verzeichniss, 208. Though
bearing date the same year, 1816, Hiibner's book was not published
until 1818 at least, and as both are catalogue names the earliest must
stand. The Teiitainen, of course, is not considered in this argument.

no Caradrina.

Mr. Butler was perfectly right in separating our North American
species. Guenee described his type from Brazil, and as var. A, men-
tions a specimen from New York. This is like what is in all American
collections, as infirma; but is specifically distinct from the Brazilian
specimens. Mr. Butler's type is in the British Museum.

If Lederer's description of his genus Dyschorista is entitled to any
weight at all, it is impossible that crenulata can be referred to it. Mr.
Butler has allowed himself to be misled by a certain habital resem-
blance.

smaller and smoother type of the same thing. Gueuee changed his
name vecors to enervis in the index, because he had already employed
vecors for a Perigea-. His substituted name has been used heretofore,
but I do not think the species are closely enough related to make the
change necessary. Both of Walker's species in the British Museum

HABITAT. — Texas.

The type is in the Tepper collection. A correctly named specimen
is also in the British Museum, from the Grote collection. The species
is not a Twniocampd and probably belongs to the fasciata?; but in de-
fault of sufficient study to place it certainly, I leave it here for the
present. Mr. Slingerland has called my attention to the fact that the
Cissusa , spadix of Cramer, heretofore referred as a synonym of Drax-
teria ercchtca, is a distinct species. On examination I find this to be
the fact, and it is more than likely that it will prove the same as the
above species. Material for study is lacking, therefore the reference
can not be positively made.

Genus STRETCHIA Hy. Edw.
1874. Hy. Edw., Proc. Cal. Ac. Sci., v, 267.

The species of this genus are treated and monographically described
under Periyraplia in the Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., xn, 490. The Euro-
p can species of Perigrapha have a very strong resemblance habitally
to the species of Stretehia, which has induced the reference of our spe-
cies to the European genus despite recognized differences in structure.
The occurrence of a structurally typical Perigrapha in our own fauna
renders a return to another generic term necessary, and StretcMa some-
what antedates Acerra (Grt., Bull. Buff. Soc. Nat. Sci., n, 162). This
law of priority plays odd tricks occas ionally and here necessitates the
use of a term originally referred to the Bombycidre and irrecognizably
described as against another correctly placed and well described.

Meske, who sent Dr. Harvey the specimen, was a very careful collector,
and labeled the insect Sharon Springs, a favorite collecting ground.

The Mcfiogona culea of M. Guenee is a Twniocampa, and will be found

later lists it as a good species. I am not in a position to decide the

The type is with Mr. Strecker. I have seen one other specimen. It
may not be congeneric with the others referred here, but it is nearer
right than with ScMnia. Strictly, rectifascia is the type of Trileuca,
because buxea was placed in Xaniliodes on p. 153, and is only incidentally
referred to Trileuca on p. 1GG; but rectifascia is an Atcthmia, and the
genus, as based on that species, of course, a synonym. Mr. Grote did
not see proof of this paper in the Proc. Am. Phil. Soc., which is full of
typographical and other errors, else he would have seen the contradic-
tion, and it is in accordance with " the usual comity and practice " that
I retain the name with buxea as type.

Walker's type is in the British Museum, and so is the type of angu-
lata Grt. Mr. Butler has already shown that Mr. Grote did not cor-
rectly identify Walker's species, and re-described it *as angulata. In
the Museum at Berlin are specimens from Brazil marked cilisca Gn.,
(Noct. II, 179), which I think will fall in with this species. The place
assigned the genus here expresses my conviction that the genus is
Orthosiid rather than Heliothid, though it may find closer allies on
future study.

be the status. Bicolorac/o precedes ferruginoides by one page and was
described as a species; while fcrniginoiilcs was placed as a variety of
the European ferruyinea.

Genus GLiJEA. Him.

In using tlic term Glcea and crediting it to Hiibner, I follow 31 r.
Grote. I ain not sure that our species of Glcca are entirely congeneric
with the European species referred to Cerastis or Orrhodia and therefore
prefer to use a distinctive term. As a matter of course, if our species
do prove generically distinct, Htibner's name can not hold; but until a
critical study settles these matters it will be safer to use a familiar term.
G. anchoceloides has been listed under Rlvynchagrotis and will be found
replacing citpida Grt. In Can. Ent., xn, 155, Mr. Grote has listed the
species and divided them into named sections, which he afterwards
used as genera.

A revision of the species of this genus is in EntomoJogica Americana

species in the British Museum and elsewhere shows that the identifi-
cations made and characters given are correct. Only one change in
name is necessitated. All the species appear in the autumn and winter
as iinagos, reappearing in early spring.

The type is in the Edwards collection and is fully congeneric with and
closely allied to napw Morr. It is scarcely likely that the two will
prove to be identical, but the differences are reducible to small varia-
tions in marking's and are in no sense generic. I have handled a very
large number of specimens of napw, without finding a dunbari among
them.

Genus XYLINA Ochs.

I use this name in preference to Lithophane because both arc cata-

lished until 1818 at least. All the species so far as known to me ap-
pear in autumn, hibernate, and reappear in early spring.

All the types are in the British Museum. Mr. Butler has erroneously
referred sectilis to mucens. The type is a poor specimen of the normal
form of evicta. It would have been utterly impossible to recognize this
species from the description alone.

The types of both names are in the British Museum. I failed to see
the type of simplex in the British Museum, as it was not ranged among
the true noctuids of Mr. Butler's first study. Afterward, Mr. Butler
very kindly sent me a figure of the species which made it certain that it
was no Acronyctd, but was too sketchy to make out positively. Yet
later Mr. Butler stumbled on Xylnmitjca cruciulia Harv., and recognize* I
in it Walker's Acrony eta .simplex.

under this name received from Mr. Fletcher as typical, in the National
Museum, which is not in the least different from typical patalis.

Luridula Gn., and derogttta Wlk., based on typical specimens in the
British Museum, are one species. There is not even the varietal
difference between them that Mr. Butler seems to suspect, unless very
slight difference in inaculation makes a variety. Under that defini-
tion almost every specimen would be a variety, so I can not quite un-
derstand what Mr. Butler's remark (I. c., p. 13) was intended to mean.

The types are in the British Museum. The species is much more
common in Central and South America, and probably only occasional in
the Southern United States. Mr. Butler would see in this the true
AI<-ti« <ir<jU1<ura of Hiibner, and so cites it in the Entomologist, /. r.
Niipra. I do not follow Mr. Butler's references to illita Gn., because 1
believe that to be another species. One of the types is in the Jardin des
plantes in Paris, while none is in the BritisliMuscum. I did not directly
compare the specimens, but GueneVs species looked different. I dq
know that the synonymy above is correct as far as it goes,

I have seen none of the types. Ilijiimc/iini was described from a
figure by Abbot and has no type; (/rtiinlipiiiKid was described from
specimens in the Sannders tS: Griieuee collections. The types are, there-
fore, probably one of them at Oxford, the others at Rennes with M.
Oberthiir. The bibliography given is a mere outline. In Comstock's
Cotton Report of 1870 and in the 4th Kept, of the United States En-
tomological Commission a full bibliography covering several pages is
given. In these publications all possible information concerning the
species will be found. Concerning the synonymy adopted, a lew words
may be necessary. Prof. Comstock accepted Mr. Grote's dictum on
authority, while suggesting that it was not beyond doubt. Dr. liiley
does not accept Mr. Grote's identification at all, and goes at some length
into the reasons for declining to do so. rnfortmiately. with a large
material at command, he yet failed to find a species to which he was
willing to apply Hiibner's figure positively. Mi. I>ntler says, "I can
not admit this identification of (tr</ill<tc<'/t," referring to its union with
.ci/lhtn Say. He refers to itryUlaccn, ill if it Gn., comhtcfd Wlk.. and lioxfiii
Ilarv. Host la and court it eta are synonymous from my own examination
of the types. Of illita I am not certain; but I feel very lirmh con-
vinced that Hiibner did not have this form before him to be figured,

Some four or five years ago I examined, at Dr. Biley's request, a very
large series of Anomids, largely South American, in comparison with
a number of type specimens from the Paris collections and with the
descriptions of all the species. The material was larger than any I have
seen elsewhere or since, and after the most careful comparisons I then
concluded that Hiibner could have had no other than Say's xylina
before him as original to his figure. There are certain specific char-
acters that are seen in xylina and in no other species, and these char-
acters are given by Hiibner. The figure is bad and the color is bad;
but neither are worse than a hundred others which are accepted un-
questioned, and the specific features given are those of xylina and of no
other species. The very great majority of early figures are no more
accurate than is Hiibner's argillacea, but where there are not closely
related species the matter is immaterial. In this instance I believe Mr.
Grote most clearly in the right.

The specimen in the British Museum does not seem to be the type;
but is from the Grote collection and is the same as the specimens so
named in the National Museum. Mr. Butler says, Entomologi st x xv, 11.
that this is the same genus as Berresa Wlk., Het. xvi, 214. I did not
see the specimens and am not ready to accept the reference.

Somewhere I have seen Mr. Morrison's type, which is the same species
as Mr. Grote's type of tecta in the British Museum. It is quite likely
that Mr. Morrison's name must eventually sink in favor of one of the
Guenee or Walker names In the British and other European muse-
ums are a number of Central and South American species, very closely
allied, which much resemble our own insect. In fact there were so
many names and so little difference in the specimens that 1 felt unwill-
ing to identify the Texan form with any of them. Ilattia is another
generic synonym.

Both types are in the British Museum, and Mr. Butler is correct in
uniting them. He thinks tigris not congeneric with 7>m.sfn/m r//v/oand
therefore adopts Walker's generic name. My ideas of genera do not
always agree with Mr. Butler's, and I prefer therefore to retain Gne
nee's genus until I can make comparisons myself.

Mr. Grote in his lists writes riusi<( Fabricius, and in 1874 quoted
Lederer as authority for this use. Lederer, however, says I'/iisin
Treitschke; but says also Plim'm Fabricius, for a section of the genus in-
cluding those not referable to Ahrostola; Staudinger writes Pliinia Och
senheimer, and this accords with what I have found in my searches
among the ancients. In none of the Fabriclan works is Noel mi subdi-
vided, though probably in the Systema Glossatorum this was done. It
may be that Lederer derives his authority from this unpublished work;
but as the matter stands Ochseiiheimer must be credited with the

genus.

In the British Museum are types of Jiamifera and (iyaux, and these are
unquestionably alike. There are also specimens of di/atix under pre-
cationis Wlk.; but there are no specimens of rogationix under the label.
In the Berliner Museum, however, is a series of South American speci-
mens marked rogationis Gn., and among them is a specimen from Boll,
Texas, exactly like dyaus. Guenee mentions his species as from divers
collections, not rare, and gives " Am. Sept." as one of the localities.
His comparative description applies perfectly, and though I have not
seen absolute types, I make no doubt the Berlin specimens are correctly
named and that dyaus Grt., is the same species. Jiamifera is recorded
from Brazil and Venezuela, covering thus the localities given by
Guenee.

case: but as I have not had an opportunity of comparing' types I give
the species a place pending further study.

Guenee's type is in the British Museum and the specimens from the
Grote collection are like it. Californica Speyer is a slight variety of
</M, and not of gamma, as Speyer thought. The California localities for
(/tinnna are probably based on this species. Dr. Stivoker states very
positively that his California examples are gamma. Mr. Edwards's
variety is scarcely worthy a name.

Dr. Eiley's types are in the National Museum. I have not com-
pared the European and American species and give the above as
the present status of the literature. Mr. Butler's reference to
H-<iureumG-n.,is wild. In the Berliner Museum there is a specimen
labeled eehinocystis Behr, received from Boll, Texas. I am inclined to
believe the labeling authentic, and the very brief description is
uot contradictory in any way. It has been referred, doubtfully, to
IxisiltlKca; but this does not agree with what little is said. The eco-
nomic bibliography is large.

not Dr. Behr, characterized it.

The above synonymy is after Walker, and may or may not be correct.
Dr. Bethune writes falrifera while Walker has it falcigera. I have not
seen the original description and am not sure which is correct. Mr.
Grote, however, also writes falciyera, and he has, perhaps, compared
the original work. The specimens in the British Museum labeled fal-
ciyera by Walker are vaccinii Hy. Edw., and do not accord well with
the description copied by Dr. Bethune. It is, however, quite likely
That the species belongs here.

The type is with Dr. Thaxter, who pointed out the species to me in
the National Museum, where it stood in the Meske collection as octo-
scripta-. It much resembles that speeies. As already stated, this is the
faJciflcra of Walker, and possibly that of Kirby as well; but there is
sufficient doubt in the matter to prevent their union here.

it did not represent the Linna-an species. Totfi, by the bye, is recorded

from Plusia in the narrow, ovate eyes, the spinose tibiae, and aiiarti-

The relation of the three preceding to the present genus can not be
considered as settled. In the Bull. Bklu. Ent. Soc,, v, 30, I had united
them all as Basilodes, which is perhaps too radical a procedure. As
new species have been and will be added, the relations will become
more clear. Some of the species of Plusia will find a place here I think,
and perhaps some other species elsewhere referred at present.

that Mr. Morrison's type in the Tepper collection had unarmed fore

was a defect in the type and not characteristic of the species.

The type is in the British Museum. It is a curious mottled species,
with heavy body and primaries, in which the costa is depressed and
the apices are distinct. A specimen in the National Museum had
long puzzled me as to its location, as I could not make it function sat-
isfactorily with Mr. Grote's descriptions.

The type is in the British Museum.

With this genus begins that series treated by me ten years ago in
vol. x, of the Transactions of the American Entomological Society under
the title, " Synopsis of the North American Heliothinse." This was
my first monographic paper, and somewhat crude. It has proved itself
accurate enough as to facts, but somewhat too radical in some of its
conclusions. Larger material has modified my views as to the stand-
ing of some species, and I have made some changes of sequence. As
a whole, however, I have retained the results of that work, adding
largely to the bibliography.

I use this generic term instead of uniting the two species with Heli-
othis, because, though very closely allied, they can be separated and an
overloading of the genus prevented. The only apparent difference is
in the wing form, their proportion to the body, and in the pattern of

maculation.

The type is in the British Museum. Compared with paradoxus, it is
darker throughout, the markings more obvious, s. t. space blackish,
with the t. p. line white, denticulate in one specimen only. Anterior
tibia with one inner and one outer spine or claw. A curious form, ap-
parently distinct from the South American species. The foregoing is

my note on the species. Since then I have received Mr. Butler's notes
in which he makes the species equal A. inflata Wallengren, Wien. Ent.
Monatschr., I860, iv, 172, from Honolulu, and suggests that paradoxus
may be only a paler form. Mr. Butler may be right in his reference,
but the species seemed to me distinct, though near allies. Under the
circumstances I prefer to hold both- species as above, for the present.

The bibliography given is scant,because in the fourth Eeportof the U.

Since that time the species has been again and again treated in eco-
nomic publications, in most cases without adding anything that is new.
The Annual Eeports of the United States Department of Agriculture
since 1885 should be consulted. For the purposes of this catalogue no
more references are needed.

Mr. Grote's types are in the British Museum, where a good series of
specimens enabled me to make careful comparisons with the European
dipsaceous and its varieties. Quite unexpectedly I found that the
American form, though a u representative " one, was quite distinct
from the European, and that Mr. Grote's names must be restored.

Mr. Grote's type I have not seen ; but there can be no question as to
his species. Specimens of it labeled by Mr. Grote are in the British
Museum, where also Walker's type is. The latter is only a somewhat
suffused aberration of the normal form and should be cited as such.
The white lunules between disk and outer band of primaries are more
marked than usual and the secondaries have a rosy flush, else there
is no difference that is apparent to me.

Fitch's type I saw in 1882, with Dr. A. E. Foote, in Philadelphia. It

species is, however, well known and correctly named in collections.

I use this terra here in the same broad sense in which I used it in
my Eevisiou of the Heliothime, Trans. Am. Ent. Soc., x, 225. It is
quite likely that the large number of additional species constantly
turning up may require its subdivision and the use of some of the
generic terms discarded by me. The line of division may perhaps be
that indicated in the Revision; but a better may be found on renewed
study. The genera included under the above term are:

Tamila, Gn., Spec. Gen., Noct., n, 176.

Anthcecia, Bdv., Ind. Meth., 162.

Lygranthcecia, G. and R., Trans. Am. Eut. Soc., iv, 432.

On'a, Hbn., Verzeichniss, 238.

Porrima, Grt., Bull. Geol. Surv., in, 798.

Besides these, Mr. Grote has, on the characters pointed out by me,
used the terms Trichosellus and Canidia in his Revised Check List of
1891. Some of these names may come into use later; but of these
Lygrcmtlioecia has perhaps the weakest of all claims to consideration.
Of the species treated in the above revision, the tibial armature and
wing inaculation are there figured; but no reference to these figures is
here made.

Mr. Grote's type is in the British Museum ; my types are in the Na-
tional Museum. I was quite surprised to find Mr. Grote's type the
same as my species. It means that the specimens I have seen so
named in American collections are erroneously determined and that
my description and figures in the Revision apply to some other, perhaps
undescribed, species. I can not remember from what collection I had
my specimens of velaris.

Both the types are in the British Museum. After renewed examina-
tion and a comparison of other material, I still consider them identical.
AcutiUnia is darker and has the margins of the lines more emphasized;
but this fades gradually into the separata form. I was in error in using
this latter name for the species, since acutilinea was earlier described.
I was also in error in making balba and walsinyhaml synonymous with

this species.

species of ScMnia are much more numerous and closely allied than I
suspected in 1882, and the two preceding are fairly marked and both
distinct from separata, as species go here.

A type specimen is in the Edwards collection, while a very fine
series is in the British Museum. A study of the latter shows that the
species is perfectly distinct from separata and that my reference in
1882 was hasty and based on insufficient material. The specimen in
Mr. Edwards's collection really gives no adequate idea of the species.

Guenee's type came from the Coll. Feisthamel — where that is at pres-

also unknown to me. It is one of the species that should be in the
collection of the American Entomological Society.

The type of this species is in the British Museum. The foretibi.T
have one inner and one outer claw or spine. Wing form of tichinia.
Looks like an Aletin at first sight, Avith a small black orbicular, and a
black, white-lined renitbrm. I am not at all sure that I had this species
before me in 1883, and at all events have not had it since.

HABITAT. — Texas, Arizona, Colorado.

The types are all ID the collection of the American Entomological
Society. The differences between them consist in the relative distinct-
ness of the maculation, the discal and basal black spot of secondaries
disappearing entirely in mortua. In retaining the term pacltardii for
this species instead of mortua, which has priority by half a page, I feel
sure that I am in accord with Mr. Grote's wishes on the subject.

A typical specimen of Gueue'e's species and all of Walker's types are

The type of dorsilutea is the same as the tubercnlnm of the Grote
collection, which I believe to be correctly identified. The fore tibiae
have one inner and two outer claws. In appearance the species resem-
bles lynx; but the median and s. t. lines are more ragged, median space
narrower, ordinary spots not distinct ; black border of secondaries broad.
Walker's species is from "locality unknown."

This seems a good species, the type of which is in the British

Secondaries black; primaries very dark; terminal space a little lighter;
median space with a little yellow intermixed; median lines narrow,

white.

The types of Mr. Grote's species are in the British Museum, and a

The type is in the British Museum. It looks more like Melicleptria
than the specimen retained by Mr. Thaxter. Mr. Grote's genus is based,
apparently, on the characters I pointed out, but if the species is re-
moved from Schinia, it must go to Pseudotamila.

The type is with Mr. Strecker. The anterior tibiie have an inner and
four outer claws, and the species is thus related to tertia.

By a regretable oversight the three last-named species were omitted
from my list of Lepidoptera. The accident happened because in my
Revision they were among the unknown species, and, after seeing the
types and annotating my copy, I failed to enter them in the list of
species where they belonged.

HABITAT. — Colorado; Nevada; Oregon.

Mr. Butler is quite correct in separating Mr. Edwards's species from
ononis; but he is in error in charging Mr. Grote with the combination.

288 BULLETIN 44, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM.

The blunder was mine, based on insufficient material. I am much less
ready nowadays to believe in the specific identity of European and
American species. Oregona is near to and represents ononis, as plilo-
gopliagus represents dipsaceous. So, also, Mr. Butler seems not to know
that I am responsible for uniting Atlomsea with MeliSleptrittj a union
which I still consider perfectly proper.

pauxillus is in the Tepper collection; a type of persimilis is in the Brit-
ish Museum, and another specimen, also marked " type," is in the Tepper
collection.

well to state that in my citations in this genus, in which so many species
are circumpolar, I have not attempted to refer to well established
European synonymy, nor to give references to all works in which the
European insects are treated. I have tried only to credit the species
and to give reference to the works more usually accessible to American
students, following Staudinger in the bibliography.

is followed by dark spots, and on the secondaries the outer black baud
is not defined.

Walker's type is in the British Museum; Mr. Grote's type I have

locality, New York, given by Mr. Morrison for 0. per pur a, is certainly an
error. Mr. Butler, from the specimens before him, suggests (Entomol-
ogist, xxiv, 293) that impingens is near to nivaria, but from my knowl-
edge of other specimens I made the reference positively before Mr.
Butler's note appeared.

unfortunate oversight the synonymy in my list is reversed and tortri-
cina stands as a synonym of inorata instead of vice versa.

Mr. Morrison's type is in the Tepper collection; Mr. Grote's is in the
British Museum. Mr. Butler has made this species the type of a new
genus, Eumestleta; with what justice, I am not prepared to say. The
fact that I do not use the genus here indicates only that it was pub-
lished so late that the addition referring to it was made in proof. I
did not see the type of Anthophila flammicincta at the British Museum ;
but the species is so well marked that I have no hesitation in accepting
Mr. Butler's determination. He suggests that the species may be

Lcpitlomys irrenona Gn., n, 202, pi. x, f. 1, is usually placed here, but
is certainly not North American. The type is in the British Museum.
M. Guenee gave New York as the locality; but nothing on the speci-
men itself ^nor in the record indicates where it really came from; it has
the Doubleday label and that is all. The insect itself is very peculiar;
it has a thick truncated tuft of hair at the base of primaries; the palpi
like Pleonectyptera and altogether it has the look of a tropical species. I
do not believe for an instant that it came from New York, and prefer to
drop it from our lists as not of our fauna, until the contrary is proved
by new specimens.

HABITAT. — With the preceding.

The synonomy given above is the result of a very clever study of the
genus by Mr. M. V. Slingerland, who demonstrated that the two species
were usually confused in collections, and identified all the names with
the proper species. Walker's types are in the British Museum, and all
his specimens are, I believe, of the crechtea form. P. amplissim^ Wlk.,
which had also been referred here is really Paralldin hixti-'uiris; on the
other hand Poapliila patibilis Wlk., undoubtedly belongs here. Pha-
hvna spadix Cram., has been referred by Mr. Grote as the female of
erechtea, and Walker made the figure the type and only species of his
genus Cissusa, without ever having seen an example. Mr. Slingerland
called my attention to the fact that the figure could scarcely be meant

31-S BULLETIN 44, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM.

for erechtea. An examination of Cramer's work proved that he was
correct, and that the figure referred to the form named Ta'niocainpa
ref/cta by Mr. Morrison. A very closely allied form has been described
in Nyncdoida by Mr. Grote, and it is not improbable that Mr. Edwards'
genus may have to give place to Walker's Oissum.

Mr. Slingerland's work has not yet appeared at date of writing,
hence could not be specifically referred to.

Mr. Grote's type is in the British Museum. Felder's plates bear date-

error in referring his species to the synonomy, using the n-AmQplumbcola
Grt., and correctly referring to the description of cwrnlca.

of the uniform Tceniocampa red-brown ; but with the typical Synedoid
median lines pale marked. It strongly resembles some of the species
of Synedoida. Tceniocampa vegeta Morr., must be compared with this
species, and here also Cissusa spadix must be referred to as probably
congeneric.

With this genus begins a series of forms similar in appearance and

and very few collections have more than a fair percentage of them.
In some of the genera the range of variation is very great, and it is
very probable that there will be a very large reduction in the number
of species when they are once well known. In many cases the sexes
are extremely dissimilar and have been described as separate species.

Mr. Moeschler's paper, above cited, should be referred to for the
rather involved synonymy of the species, grounded in a very curious
error made by Gueuee. It is at least questionable whether the true
fasciolaris occurs with us. Mr. Moeschler thought it did not, and I
have not seen any such specimens as he sent me, from our territory.

HABITAT. — Wisconsin; New York; Florida; Texas in December.

The type is in the British Museum. The species belongs to Mayusa
rather than Stictoptera, and is very close to the Mayusa dissidents Feld.
and Rog., if not indeed the same. The latter species is in the Berliner
Museum, in which I had a chance to compare typical Stictoptera.
Moeschler has described a very closely allied species from the West
Indies as a Lapliyyma.

Genus CATOCALA Schrank.
1802. Schrank, Fauna Boica, n, 2, 158.

In this genus I have made no original studies and no comparisons.
The species have been great favorites with collectors, and much has
been written concerning their habits and variations. Mr. Grote and Mr.
Hy. Edwards have devoted special attention to the genus; and, lastly,
Dr. Hnlst has given a monographic revision in the Bulletin of the
Brooklyn Entomological Society, vn, pp. 15-56, 1884, in which the
species are separated on structural peculiarities. This revision is fol-
lowed here in essentials, and must be consulted in any study of the
genus. The departures from the order given in the publication cited
are all such as Dr. Hulst has himself suggested in the check list of
Lepidoptera edited by me. I have not kept up my references as care-
fully in this genus as in some others, but I do not think I have omitted
anything really important. A great many mere notes of captures and
of habits are not referred to, though interesting in themselves and val-
uable to the student of geographical distribution. I did not examine
the British Museum series, and therefore am not to be considered as
indorsing the correctness of any synonymy given. My notes concern-
ing the location of type specimens are meager, but there are few genera
in which the literature is so good and the reference to actual types so
seldom necessary. Most of the Hulst types are in the Rutgers College
collection. Mr. Grote and Mr. Edwards have both examined the
British Museum collection, and their references are probably accurate.

Dr. Hulst cites this species, as well as amasia $ Grt., to sancta, perhaps
not justly. There is really no evidence that Gueuee intended the
amasia^ and, indeed, Dr. Hulst says the description does not fit. It
should not therefore be cited as a synonym to sancta, which it must
otherwise replace. Guenee's species based on Abbot's figures have
been universally accepted, and if the figures are still in existence there
is no reason why positive knowledge should not be yet obtainable.

that of cassandra is in the Edwards collection, while that of sara is, I
believe, with Prof. French.

This species has made as much bad blood as almost any other Amer-
ican noctuid, and even now the syuonouiy above given will probably be
questioned by some.

The Guene"e and Walker types are in the British Museum. Mr.
Grote's type I have not seen; but have seen a number of specimens
named by him. Walker's species was described without locality and
in such a way as to be not readily recognizable. As Fagitana has only
the one species, it must be used in preference to Mr. Grote's generic
term, under the rules. On the location of the genus I express no
opinion. Guenee considers it Leucaniid. Mr. Grote places it in its
present position on characters that seem valid to him.

Genus PHURYS Gn.
1852. Gn., Spec. Gen., Noct., in, 303.

The genera in this series need revision. The differences between
Celiptera, PJmrys, and some species of Poapkila are difficult to make
out; but I have in most cases left matters as they were, since any
changes here could be only tentative and liable to further change on
critical study. There are, also, a number of Verzeichniss genera that
have not been applied, and which will probably have to be used to
replace one or more of the terms adopted here. They are all indicated
in the synonymy. The specific unions are all correct I believe.

agreeing with his description. They are closely allied; but in vinculum
the orbicular is present and the subterminal dotted line is distinct.
The vinculum of the Grote collection and of American collections gen-
erally is the herbarum of Guenee according to these specimens, and I
have accordingly cited bifasciata Bates to this species. ' Mr. Bates re-
ferred his species to vinculum on nay authority, and what I knew as
vinculum was what Mr. Grote had so named.

Types of Gueuee's species are in both the London and Paris Museums,
and are like the type of obsoleta in the British Museum. Mr. Grote
based his name obsoleta on what he identified as Guenee's var. «, of P.
quadrifilaris, and misidentified deleta. The deleta of the Grote col-
lection is the contempta Bdv., as identified by Guenee. It is probable
that this error is repeated in all the American collections deriving their
determinations through Mr. Grote.

HABITAT. — Southern States.

Typical specimens, named by Guenee, are in the British Museum and
in the Jardin des Plantes, and with these the erasa of the Grote col-
lection agrees ; but the herbicola of the same collection is also erasa,
and not the herbicola Bdv.

1857. Wlk., C. B. Mas., Het., xiv, 1417, Poaphila.

HABITAT. — Southern States.

The type is probably in the Oberthiir collection. In the Jardin des
Plantes at Paris is a specimen named herbicola by Guenee, which is
very like erasa in habitus and maculatiou and seems to differ only in
the much paler ground color. It is much paler than the herbicola of
the Grote collection; but it is not at all unlikely that intermediate
specimens will be found and that herbicola is a washed-out erasa.

The type in the British Museum is a poor, faded specimen of a
Perigea. There is a whitish powdered reniform and a puuctiform
white t. p. line. It looks familiar enough, yet I felt afraid to identify
it with any of the species in the Museum Collection, and am not posi-
tive that it can ever be certainly identified.

whereabouts. The type of carneicosta is in the Jardiii des Plantes,
where I have seen it. It is the form in which the ordinary spots are
black and distinct. The Walker types are in the British Museum and
are both referable here. Roseicosta, Gn., was described after a drawing
by Abbot, and Gueuee himself suspected its identity with rubricosta.
I have not seen this figure, but do not doubt that the species belongs

here.

species is exactly like pyralis in maculation, but the bright yellow is
replaced by a uniform rusty brown. But even in the type a yellowish
suffusion is perceptible, and I am convinced that we have to do with
forms of one species only.

in the collection of the American Entomological Society. I have a
specimen which has been compared with both types and agrees well
with each of them. For a change, Mr. G rote's type is much the poorest
and least recognizable.

August and March ; Delaware in May.

A typical specimen of latipes is in the British Museum and is very
nearly like the type of indentata Harv., which is in the same collection.
The type of Phurys perlata is a better marked specimen of the same
species, and the type of disseverans is the pale, almost immaculate form.
The type of hexastylus Harvey is in the British Museum, and is exactly
like the type of marcida in the Jardin des Plautes. It is a larger form
of the ordinary species, I believe. The species, according to Gueiiee,
is widely distributed on both sides of the equator.

Guenee himself suggested the identity of his pluvalis with lubricalis;
but, as Geyer recorded his species from Java, he kept his own specific
term. Some other of Geyer's " Java" species are American, and I be-
lieve Mr. Grote was correct in making Gueuee's suggestion a positive
reference. The type of surrectalis is in the British Museum and is cor-
rectly referred by Mr. Grote. My types are in the National Museum
and in the Edwards collection.

borealis, the type of which is in the National Museum.

I have retained Mr. Grote' s generic term for the preceding species,
and use Epizeuxis instead of Helia for those following, pending the re-
visional study of this series, when the types can be fixed.

The type of mollifera is in the British Museum and is correctly re-
ferred. Mr. Grote has placed Hormisa absorptalis to this same form ;
but this is an error: it is really Lltognatlia nubilifasda. The types of
effusalis and concisa are in the collection of the Entomological Society
of Ontario, and these have been positively referred to ci'mula by Mr.
Grote. The type of herminioides , from the same collection, was re-
ferred to Epizeuxis by Mr. Grote. If this generic reference is correct,
the description will apply to ceniula rather than americaiis, and I have
so referred the species.

Both types are in the British Museum. Mr. Grote refers absorptdlis
to fipi.zt'it.rlx wmula, and at first sight this appears correct, from the
rubbed condition of the specimen; but more careful comparisons show
that the species named by Mr. Grote nuMllfascia is represented. The

replace Litognatha, which has the same type. A type of nuMlifascia is

The type of cruralis is probably with Mr. Oberthiir. The Walker
type is in the British Museum and is the cruralis of Guenee, but not
of Walker. The latter is Icevigata Grt.

HABITAT. — New York to Alabama.

The types are in the collection of the American Entomological Society
and the British Museum. It is more than likely that this will prove a
dark form of ochreipennis. The species need revision, and as the types
are rnostlv in Philadelphia the work will not be difficult.

aberrant as in Rivula, but otherwise I have had no opportunity of
trying to ascertain its true position. 1 have found no description of the
species and perhaps this is a mere collection name which should not
be criticised.

Guene'e's types are probably with M. Obertlmr. The Walker types
are in the British Museum. They agree Avith each other and with the
specimens identified by Mr. Grote as discoloralis. Walker did not really
recognize Guene'e's genus and described a number of species belonging
to it under Herminia and Hypena. Curiously enough, nearly all of
Walker's Deltoids can be recognized from the description. I tried to
recognize the species before I expected to have the chance to study
them autoptically, and in every case my identification proved correct.
Under fallacialis, Walker's first specimen from which the description
was drawn is discoloralis, while the others are brevirostralis.

positively.

are in the collection of the American Entomological Society and in the

HABITAT. — Middle States to Texas; Delaware in June.

The type is in the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Cambridge,
/cller suspected that he might be redescribing Gueuee's species, and
Mr. Grote at once discovered that it was what he had identified as
such, and referred Zeller's name to the synonymy. Later he restored
the name, and has continued to use it as well as madefactalis without
further explanation. There seems to be some confusion of labels in
the Grote collection, for the same species is named both toreuta and
achatinalis.

Walker's type is in the British Museum and is like the pcranyulalits
of the Grote collection and of American collections generally. Other
specimens associated with the type tjy Walker are deceptalis. As a
matter of fact, I believe that the two names refer to forms of one species
only.

A specimen labeled humuli is in the Harris collection at the Boston
Society of Natural History, and is presumably a type. The type of
evanidalis I have not seen. That of germanalis is in the British Mu-
seum and is normal humuli. In the same collection is the type of
olivacea, which scarcely deserves a varietal name. The type of albo-
punctata is in the Tepper collection, and is a very dark, almost black,
form from Washington. But for a very large series from widely diver-
gent localities I would have considered this Pacific coast form specifi-
cally distinct. A series from British Columbia recently received places
the relationship beyond reasonable doubt.

Of the other American species referred to Hypena by Walker, H.
rttftnalis is Crambus altrusellus Wlk., and H. ccccalis is Scoparia cen-
turiella. The comparisons for the specific determination of these in-
sects were kindly made for me by Mr. Warren, after I had pointed
