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

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 
States  in  June;  British  Columbia,  July  and  August. 

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.

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.

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

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.

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, 
without  a  head.  The  wings  are,  however,  sufficiently  characteristic  to 
make  it  certain  that  it  is  the  species  I  have  called  binominalix,  speci- 
mens of  which  are  in  the  U.  S.  National  Museum,  the  type  in  the  Tep-

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.

Types  of  this  species  are  in  the  British  Museum  and  also  in  Mr.

mens before  him  when  describing  a  species,  and  these  quite  frequently 
belonged  to  more  than  one  collection.  It  thus  happens  that  the  "type" 
may  be  in  several  collections  as  already  indicated.

restored,  nevertheless.  The  type  resembles  innotabilis  rather  than

from  all  the  species.

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  collection  of  the  National  Museum.  The  specimen  of  catherina  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 
at  Cambridge.  I  failed  to  find  the  type  at  Salem,  in  the  Peabody  Mu- 
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.]

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.

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.

The  specimens  named  immixta  in  the  National  Museum  agree  with 
the  type  in  the  British  Museum;  those  named  immixta  in  the  Neumoe- 
geu  collection  are  baUnitis.  The  species  probably  belongs  to  another 
genus.  The  preceding'  species,  except  the  last,  are  closely  related,  but 
I  think  distinct.  The  separation  of  the  species  in  the  Revision  is  in 
accord  with  the  types,  all  of  which  I  have  now  seen.  The  National 
Museum  series  is  correctly  arranged.

and  compared  it  with  that  species,  so  that  I  naturally  sought  an  ally 
of  messoria  to  which  the  description  could  be  applied.  Specimens  fully

which  Mr.  Graef  has  the  type.  I  have  recently  received  a  Colorado

HABITAT. — United  States, east  of  Eocky  Mountains;  Canada;  Brit- 
ish Columbia.  Northern  States,  July  to  September. 

The  three  species  last  given  are  represented  in  the  British  Museum 
by  good  series,  and  the  separation  is  in  accord  with  my  identifications 
in  the  National  Museum.  The  types  of  ducens  Wlk.,  jaculifera  Gn., 
and  Jierilis  Grt.,  are  in  the  English  collection,  that  of  radiata  Harris, 
is  in  the  collection  of  the  Boston  Society  of  Natural  History,  and  that  of 
tricosa  is  in  Dr.  Liutner's  collection.

The  type  in  the  British  Museum  is  a  good  species,  which  I  had  not 
before  seen.  The  antennae  are  shortly  pectinated,  much  as  in  the  pre- 
ceding, from  which,  however,  it  differs  by  greater  size  and  brighter 
colors,  which  are  more  nearly  like  siibgothica  than  any  other.

The  type  is  in  the  British  Museum.  Messrs.  Grote  and  Eobinsou 
in  1869  and  Mr.  Butler  in  1880  referred  Agrotis  incallida  Wlk.,  as  a 
synonym  of  the  above.  The  type  is  a  badly  rubbed  specimen ;  but  it 
is  undoubtedly  Radena  (Luperina)  passer  Gn.,  and  not  an  A  grotis  at  all.

The  types  of  Mr.  Grote's  vancouverensis  and  semiclarata  are  in  the 
British  Museum,  and  refer  to  the  same  species.  Mr.  Morrison's  type 
has  been  examined  by  me,  but  I  have  no  memorandum  as  to  its  loca- 
tion. I  think  it  is  in  the  Cambridge  Museum.  The  type  of  agilis  is  with 
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 
color,  and  not  at  all  a  fair  representation  of  the  species,  which  does  not 
differ  from  ceneipennis.  I  would  not  be  very  greatly  surprised  if  van- 
couverensis  and  ceneipennis  should  prove  forms  of  one  very  variable 
species.

These  two  species  are  kept  separated  in  the  British  Museum,  extreme 
forms  only  being  represented.  Neither  of  the  specimens  seems  to  be 
a  type.  I  do  not  know  where  Dr.  Harvey's  type  is.  Types  of  Mr.  Mor- 
rison's species  are  in  the  Tepper  and  Neumoegen  collections.

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- 
scribed from  South  America,  deemed  it  of  insufficient  importance  to 
warrant  much  search.  There  is  a  considerable  South  and  Central 
American  bibliography  to  this  species  which  it  is  not  necessary  to  give 
here.

named  in  American  collections.

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-

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.

HABITAT. — Colorado. 

The  type  is  in  the  Graef  collection.  A  specimen  in  the  British

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.

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  of  repent  is  is  to  be  found  in  the  collection  of  the  American

this  species  a  very  wide  range.

The  types,  male  and  female,  are  in  the  Berlin  Museum,  and  belong 
nearest  to  pleuritica  in  appearance.  The  wings  are  narrow,  elongate  in 
the  specimen,  and  of  a  rather  pale  gray.  I  have  seen  something  very 
like  this  from  Colorado;  but  it  is  probably  a  different  speeies.

in  my  revision,  and  placed  it  next  to  scanrtem.  It  looks  like  a  mexsoria 
with  the  lines  almost  obliterate  and  with  white  secondaries.  The  or- 
bicular is  oval,  black-ringed;  the  reniforin  incomplete.  The  median

Walker's  type  is  rather  a  small  specimen;  but  is  exactly  like  a 
specimen  from  the  Grofce  collection,  marked  "type."  Both  are  in  the

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.

Harris's  type  is  in  the  Boston  Society  of  Natural  History.  The  type  of 
Mr.  Grote's  species  is  in  the  British  Museum,  and  is  merely  a  small 
tessellata.  It  is  a  matter  of  the  greatest  surprise  that  Walker  has  not 
redescribed  the  species.  I  think  he  considered  it  a  form  of  tritici.

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.  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.

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  description.  The  latter  will  be  found  in  nry  ''Revision"  if  anyone

Mr.  Grote  separates  this  from  Ammaconia,  I  can  not  say  at  present 
how  correctly,  since  I  have  no  European  material  for  comparison.  If 
the  characters  given  by  Mr.  Grote  hold,  the  genus  is  probably  good. 
They  will  not  hold  for  sculpt  ills,  certainly,  for  I  redescribedthat  inAgrotis,

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-

earliest  if  it  is  at  all  published.

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.

HABITAT. —  Nova  Scotia;  Hudson's  Bay  territory;  Maine;  New 
Hampshire;  Colorado;  Sierra  Nevada,  California. 

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.

This  seems  a  good  species,  almost  midway  between  subjuncta  and

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  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.

X.  separans  Grt.

1890.  Smith,  Proc.  U.  S.  Nat.  Mus.,  xin,  425  =  ducta. 

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

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.

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.

Mr.  Butler  is  in  error  in  referring  this  species  to  Mamestra  stricta 
Wlk.,  =  ferrea  Grt.  It  is  not  a  Mamestra  at  all,  but  a  Hadena,  and  the 
type,  though  a  poor  specimen  and  badly  rubbed,  is  like  an  insect  I 
have  had  from  Colorado,  collected  by  Bruce.  It  is  a  good  species.

HABITAT.  —  Colorado;  Lewis  County,  New  York,  in  September;

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.

HABITAT.  —  Hudson  Bay  Territory. 

The  type  in  the  British  Museum  is  a  poor,  crushed  female,  closely 
allied  to  algens,  but  much  darker  basally.  It  is  not  impossible  that  it 
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.

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.

it  here  with  the  probabilities  indicated.

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.

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  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.

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.

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.

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.

A  distinctly  marked  yet  strongly  variable  species.  The  names  above

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.

quite  likely  that  some  of  the  species  do  not  belong  here.

en  route  or  mislaid  at  the  printing  office.  I  threw  away  the  note  slips  after  I  had

a  clypeal  modification;  but  I  could  not  see  it,  nor  could  I  examine

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.

Guenee's  type  is  in  the  British  Museum,  and  is  unquestionably  the

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

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,

Carvanca  trisectaWYk.,  which  is  interpolated  here  in  my  List  of  Lepi-

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.

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.

HABITAT. — United  States  east  of  the  Rocky  Mountains;  Colorado; 
British  Columbia,  July  to  October. 

Typical  specimens  are  in  the  British  Museum.  I  have  not  seen  the 
type  of  Mr.  Grote's  variety;  that  described  by  Prof.  Kiley  is  in  the 
National  Museum.

HABITAT.  —Florida,  May;  District  of  Columbia,  May  and  September; 
Ohio. 

The  type  is  in  the  National  Museum.  I  have  an  uneasy  suspicion 
that  this  may  prove  to  be  Caradrina  iarda  Gn.  The  description  ap- 
plies fairly  well,  as  I  have  recently  found,  but  the  species  is  certainly 
no  Caradrina.

examination  of  the  types  in  the  British  Museum.

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.

The  type  ofnitens  is  in  Mr.  Neumosgen's  collection,  that  of  (jriseocincta 
I  have  not  seen;  all  the  others  save  relata  are  in  the  British  Museum. 
V<>lata  is  in  the  Coll.  Ent.  Soc.  of  Ontario.  The  species  is  a  variable 
one,  but  recognizable  by  the  characters  pointed  out  by  me.  Griseocincta 
is  in  the  National  Museum,  from  the  Meske  collection,  and  is  an  aber- 
ration rather  than  a  variety.  The  form  nitens  is  simply  a  somewhat 
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.

with  hairy  lashes,  tibia?  unarmed.

HABITAT.  —  Sharon  Springs,  New  York. 

The  type  is  in  the  British  Museum.  Mr.  Grote  suggests  that  it  is  a 
European  example,  and  he  may  be  correct;  at  all  events  it  is  exactly 
like  ordinary  specimens  of  oxalina.  But,  on  the  other  hand,  Mr.  von 
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 
under  that  genus,

HABITAT. — Pennsylvania;  Illinois. 

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.

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

The  types  are  in  the  British  Museum.  <'rinpa  is  a  paler  form,  but 
differs  in  nothing  else.  There  is  a  very  large  scries  of  specimens  in 
the  National  Museum  that  makes  the  relationship  between  these  two 

forms  clear.

The  types  are  all  in  the  British  Museum  and  refer  to  one  species 
only.  It  is  rather  curious  that  ferruginoides  should  so  long  have  stood 
for  the  species  with  Mcolorago  as  the  variety,  while  the  opposite  must 
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.

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

A  revision  of  the  species  of  this  genus  is  in  EntomoJogica  Americana 
for  1890,  volume  vi,  p.  140.  An  examination  of^the  types  of  all  the 
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.

1876.  Harv.,  Can.  Ent.,  vin,  52,  Hadena. 

HABITAT. — Vancouver. 

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.

The  species  is  certainly  not  a  Xylina,  but  seems  to  be  congeneric  with 
Polio,  acHliHsima.  As  the  latter  is  not  a  Folia,  nothing  would  be  gained

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

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

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

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.

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.

ing it,  without  a  knowledge  of  why  he  did  so.  He  also  lists  hatncy 
Poey,  but  this  is  explained  by  him  and  the  species  is  not  claimed  from

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.

This  species  is  omitted  from  Mr.  Grote's  list  of  1891,  and  from  my

the  western,  calif  arnica.  I  am  not  certain  now  that  such  is  not  the 
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.

The  species  is  nominally  credited  to  Dr.  Behr,  MSS.;  but  the  descrip- 
tion is  by  French,  and  he  must  be  credited  with  the  species,  since  he, 
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.

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.

Phalwnaiota  (Ex.  n,  106,  pi.  165,  fig.  C.)  to  his  species,  suggesting  that

as  American  by  Kirby;  but  probably  erroneously.  So  also  mi/tt  Hbn. 
is  made  Canadian  by  Walker.  It  is  a  matter  of  some  interest  perhaps

It  is  perhaps  questionable  whether  this  species  can  ever  be  identi-

liarly elongate,  narrow,  silver-margined  spot,  extending  to  the  t.  p.  line 
at  the  sinus.  It  seems  really  more  southern  in  type.  The  specimen  is 
without  locality,  bought  in  the  Milne  collection,  and  is  quite  as  likely 
to  be  Australian  as  American.

the  specimens  seen  were  not  from  the  Grote  collection.  The  type

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

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.

The  type  is  in  Mr.  Neumoegen's  collection.  The  species  has  a  curi- 
ous color  resemblance  to  the  species  of  Zotheca;  but  in  head  and  feet 
structures  the  reference  here  is  justified.

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.

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.

in  which  he  makes  the  species  equal  A.  inflata  Wallengren,  Wien.  Ent.

may  be  only  a  paler  form.  Mr.  Butler  may  be  right  in  his  reference,

circumstances  I  prefer  to  hold  both-  species  as  above,  for  the  present.

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 
was  in  very  poor  condition,  yet  recognizable.  What  has  become  of  it 
since  and  whether  or  not  it  still  has  an  existence,  I  do  not  know.  The 
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.

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.

allied,  the  former  having  a  wider  median  space  and  both  ordinary

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.

disappearing  entirely  in  mortua.  In  retaining  the  term  pacltardii  for

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."

The  type  is  in  the  British  Museum  and  is  a  species  I  had  not  before 
seen.  The  tibial  armature  can  not  be  made  out  as  the  legs  are  curled 
under  in  the  specimen.  It  resembles  arcifn-a,  but  is  smaller  and  with- 

out median  lines.

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.

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

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.

error.  Mr.  Butler,  from  the  specimens  before  him,  suggests  (Entomol-

The  type  is  in  the  Boisduval  collection,  now  with  M.  Oberthur,  at 
Kennes.  In  the  British  Museum  there  is  a  specimen  apparently  named 
by  Guenee,  but  not  the  type.  It  is  like  the  species  labeled  onagrus  in 
our  collections.

In  the  British  Museum  there  is  a  specimen  apparently  labeled  by 
Guen6e,  and  this  is  undoubtedly  a  variety  of  the  preceding.  Mr.  Grote 
cites  Herrich -Schjefter's  figure  of  onagrus  in  error  to  this  species;  but  1 
am  not  sure  if  he  is  correct.  At  all  events  further  study  is  required  to 

settle  the  matter.

Grote  persistently  used  his  name  for  this  species,  though  both  of  Mr. 
Morrison's  names  antedate  it  by  two  years.  The  Walker  name  will 
probably  have  enough  priority  to  secure  recognition.

HABITAT. — Texas,  October  and  November;  San  Domingo. 

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 

Deltoid!

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- 
in  1873,  but  were  not  issued  until  late  in  1874.  He  makes  a  curious 
error  in  referring  his  species  to  the  synonomy,  using  the  n-AmQplumbcola 
Grt.,  and  correctly  referring  to  the  description  of  cwrnlca.

median  lines  pale  marked.  It  strongly  resembles  some  of  the  species 
of  Synedoida.  Tceniocampa  vegeta  Morr.,  must  be  compared  with  this

I  have  already  spoken  of  this  species,  which  has  been  long  over-

more  than  I  have  indicated.  Cissusa  was  described  from  Cramer's

habitus,  and  leading  to  Catocala.  There  are  numerous  species  described, 
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.

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.

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.

The  type  of  junctura  is  in  the  British  Museum;  that  of  walshii  is,  I 
believe,  destroyed;  that  of  arizonw  is  in  the  collection  of  the  American

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.

species  resembling  adultera  somewhat,  was  mistaken  for  it.

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.

The  type  is  with  M.  Oberthiir.  In  the  British  Museum  are  speci-

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-

by  Guenee.  The  Walker  types  are  both  in  the  Museum  and  are  like 
the  Grote  specimens  of  lima:  dissocians  was  described  without  locality.

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.

Typical  specimens,  named  by  Guenee,  are  in  the  British  Museum  and

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.

are  both  referable  here.  Roseicosta,  Gn.,  was  described  after  a  drawing

replaced  by  a  uniform  rusty  brown.  But  even  in  the  type  a  yellowish

forms  of  one  species  only.

hcxastylus  Harv. 
1875.  Harv.,  Bull.  Buff.  Soc.  Nat.  Sci.,  n,  285,  Eemigia. 

HABITAT. — Labrador  to  Florida,  to  Texas;  east  of  the  Rocky  Moun- 
tains; Texas  in  March,  September,  October,  November ;  Florida  in 
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.

The  types  are  in  the  British  Museum.  The  Walker  type  is  a  poor, 
worn  example,  but  there  is  no  doubt  of  its  identity  with  Dr.  Harvey's 
species.

The  type  is  with  M.  Oberthiir.  I  am  not  aware  that  this  species 
has  been  identified  in  American  collections.  The  figure  represents  a 
very  familiar-looking  form;  but  I  have  not  tried  to  apply  it.  In  the 
Neumcegen  collection  Mr.  Grote  has  suggested  its  identity  with  Eubo- 
lina  stylobata,  and  perhaps  that  is  correct.

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 
present  species  is  fairly  to  be  considered  the  type  of  Hormisa,  and  must 
replace  Litognatha,  which  has  the  same  type.  A  type  of  nuMlifascia  is

The  type  is  in  the  Neumo?gen  collection  and  is  not  a  Rivula,  proba-

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.

Types  are  in  the  collection  American  Entomological  Society  and  in

of  rctitrictaliN.  The  palpal  characters  pointed  out  by  Mr.  Grote  are 
evanescent,  I  believe;  but  it  will  require  further  study  to  state  this 

positively.

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

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.
