D:, PROFESSOR OF ENTOMOLOGY IN RUTGERS COLLEGE, WASHINGTON: GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE. 138938. ADVERTISEMENT. This 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, 1846. 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 Report. 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. Bean (chairman), A. Howard Clark, R. E. Earll, Otis T. Mason, Leonhard Stejneger, Frederick W. True, and Lester FE, Ward S. P. LANGLEY, Secretary of the Smithsonian Instiution.

D., Professor of Entomology in Rutgers College. WASHINGTON : GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICL, 1893. 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 theresults theretofore obtained will also facilitate the advance of the science. The study of the North American Noc- tuidwe 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 catalogueof 1874 nocomprehen- 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 andoveragain 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 species 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 vagie 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 Noctuide had failed to identify a large percentage of the species, while even of the species described by Guenée forty years ago, a number are still unidentified in American collections. For ten years | have been accumulating material for a monograph of the North American Noc- tuidwe, 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 the leading American collections, and some of the results obtained have been published in my various ‘‘ Contributions toward a monograph of the Noctuidz of Temperate North America.” 5 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. Riley 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 hismany kindnesses of alldescriptions. Pressureof more imperative duties com- pelled Dr. Riley 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 Noctuids the material collected by Doubleday and worked over by Guenée 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 Walsing- 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. Guenée has in some instances written “New Yorek,” where nothing on the insect nor in the record will author- ize it. It is in most cases easy to identify the specimens deseribed by Guenée. though not all of them have labels in his handwriting. Walker had. in addition to the Doubleday material containing the Guenée 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 collee- 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 im the Museum. Among them are such rarities as Cossus basalis W1k. (Inguromorpha slossoni Hy. Edw.), and Acherdoa ferraria W1k. ( Varina ornata Neumn.), both of them only recently rediscovered and redescribed. 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. ic Much of the material described by Walker is in very poor condition, and it required a very thorough knowledge of the American fauna to identify the species in all cases. Walker’s method, according to Butler (Journ. Linn. Soc., Zodl., Vol. xt, pp. 402 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, and next morning work would be recommenced from recollection of what bad 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 ou 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. Riley has kindly loaned me and they have been of assistance to me in anumber 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 to have 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 synonyimical 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 Bombyecids 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, Teniocampa and others under one term, while closely allied species may be widely separated under different generic names. Mr. Butler has not, tomy knowledge, given any key to his 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 Guenée, Walker, and Grote types side by side. Mr. Butler has published erit- 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 Guenée 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. retardata W1k.* 1861. Wlk., Can.

It is to be noted that I claim generic value for all the di- visions proposed by me, aud the title Agrotis Auct,, is simply a con- venient heading for this note. Genus RHYNCHAGROTIS Smith. 1890.

I have compared the type of gilvipennis in the British Museum with a good series of the Siberian chardinyi, and find the two species dis- tinct. The points of difference are numerous, and [ 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. R. rufipectus Morr.* 1874. Morr., Proc. Bost. Soc. N. H., xvi, 165, Agrotis. 1876. Grt., Ann. Lyc. Nat. Hist., N.

Mr. Grote has utterly mistaken Guenée’s species. One of the types or specimens from which the description was made is in the British Museum. It isa 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.

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. R. alternata Grt.* 1864. Grt., Proc. Ent. Soc. Phil., m1, 526, Pl. 5, f. 8, Noctua. 1869. Grt., Trans. Am. Ent.

Mr. Grote had 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 lwtula synonyms of cupidissima in the monograph. The true cupt- dissima is very different from this species, and neither orbis nor latula 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 triyona, as above. The types of this species are the specimens named cupidissima by me in the collections U. 8S. National Museum, R. bimarginalis Grt. 1883. Grt., Ann. & Mag., N. H., 1883, 53, Agrotis, 1883.

It is broad-winged, somewhat like Orthodes, and quite unlike any other of the species of this genus. It has no very close allies, and is placed in the series here because the orbicular, so far as it is traceable, is complete. en or CATALOGUE OF NOCTUIDA—SMITH. R. exsertistigma Morr. 1874.

The type of Mr. Morrison’s species is now in the Graef collection. Mr. Grote’s type in the British Museum is, as I suspected, the same thing, the observabilis of the Neumagen collection being correctly de. termined. The specimens labeled exsertistigma by Mr. Grote, now in the British Museum, are reddish examples of formalis. R. formalis Grt.* 1874. Grt., Bull. Butt. Soc. Nat. Sci., u, 61, Agrotis. 1878.

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 cellaround the ordinary spots is a variable quantity. The species named facula and formalis by me agree with the types. Insularis 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.

Hasirat.—California, July and September. 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 itis 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. R. crenulata Smith.* 1887. Smith, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., x, 451, Agrotis. Hasrrat.—California, June and July; Utah in June; Portland, Ore- gon, in May.

Mr.Grote usually marked “Type” all the speci- 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. A. indeterminata Wlk. 1865. Wlk., C. B. Mus., Het., xxxu, 750, Xylina. tnnotabilis Grt. 1874. Grt., Proc. Ac. Nat.

A. quarta Grt. 1883. Grt., Bull. Geol. Sury., vi, 258, Agrotis. HABITAT.—Sauzalito, California. The type in the British Museum represents a species I had not before seen.

The European synonymy and bibliography are not given. In the British Museum is a specimen marked Polyphenis herbacea in what appears to be Guenée’s handwriting, and this agrees very well with his description. It is not the type. Guenée 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 I have seen a specimen of prasina labeled herbacea by Mr. Grote; it is unspread and might easily serve as type of Guenée’s description. The type is in collection “Marchand”; but what has become of this I do not know. A. apposita Grt.* 1878. Grt., Bull. Geol. Surv., rv, 170, Agrotis. 1883. Grt., Papilio, 111, 78, Agrotis.

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 Guenée’s species. Mr. Morrison labeled a number of specimens as “type” and I have seen several of them in collections. They include specimens like Guenée’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. Lintner also has a “type” of badicollis.

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 antennal characters; but the reference to Pachnobia is correct. It looks like pectinata 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.

The specimens originally labeled by me 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 littoralis Pack.

From the description and Mr. Grote’s remarks on the species, [ 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.

Perconflua is undoubtedly the species Mr. Grote has written of as conflua; but the specimen in the British Museum, labeled conflua by Mr. Grote, is rubifera. The type of esurialis, 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. N. phyllophora Grt.* 1874. Grt., Bull. Buff. Soc. Nat. Sci., 1, 61, Agrotis. 1889. Butler, Trans. Ent. Soc.

The types of both names are in the British Museum. The species is a familiar one to me; but I had, following Mr. Morrison, doubtfully identified it with Hucoptocnemis 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 [have had no oppor- tunity to examine a male critically. I have a specimen compared with the type.

In the British Museum is a specimen labeled texana by tail CATALOGUE OF NOCTUIDA—SMITH. 87 Mr. Grote, which is not the same species. The insect is from Tueson, Ariz., and is from Mr. Neumgen’s collection. In that collection are other specimens also labeled fevana 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 tyxpe proves a Porosagrotis instead of a Carneades, and the insect I described in my revision lacks a name, The é antenne 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 I have no information as to who collected them. It is possible that it may prove more nearly related to my obesula than I now believe, when abundant material is at hand. P. orthogonia Morr.* 1876. Morr., Proc. Bost. Soc. N. H., xvii, 239, Agrotis.

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 Guenée’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 Guenée, The matter needs further study. I had no males of ‘idonea” before me when I wrote, and therefore can not be sure that the charae- ters given by me authorize a new specific name. X. vulgaris G. & It.* 1866. G. & R., Proc. Ent. Soc.

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 hera a decidedly variable species, the gray form being senescens Grt., and the crasis of the Berlin Museum. The reddish form is vigilans Grt., and erdmant Moeschl., with semisigna W1k., 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, H. algens Grt.* 1878. Grt., Can. Ent., x, 236, Hadena. 1883. Grt., Proc. Am. Phil.

The type in the British Museum is a poor, crushed female, closely allied to algens, but much darker basally.

Mr. Butler places it in Dicopis, evidently without reference to the essential characters of that genus. Genus TRACHEA Hbn. 1816. Hbn., Verzeichniss, 219, T. delicata Grt.* 1874. Grt., Trans. Am. Ent.

Mr. Butler suggested that paginata might be wnisignata W1k., if the former was correctly named in the Mu- seum. Harvey’s type of clara is a dull, dark specimen, but unques- tionably the same species. Genus PERIGEA Gn. 1852. Gn., Spec. Gen., Noct., 1, 225. The species of this genus must be studied in connection with material from the West Indian fauna before a stable nomenclature can be at- tained. There are either several species resembling each other very closely or there are some that are widely distributed and somewhat variable. 152 BULLETIN 44, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM.

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 enixa is also in the British Museum, and without a large amount of material certainly looks like a, distinct species. P. icole Grt. 1875. Grt., Proc. Bost. Soc. N.

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.

The other specimens are under the other name, one from the ‘““West 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. P. falsa Grt. 1889. Grt.

Types of major are in the Neumegen collection and in the British Museum. The types of curvicollis are in the National Museum and in the Neumegen and Graef collections and have been already re- ferred to major by me. The type of aqualis is in the British Museum, and is also the same as major; it is smaller, and the dashes in the s. t. space are not interrupted; but this is a variable character, and in the type of major in the Museum, they are barely to be termed interrupted. The British Museum types both of major and aqualis are females. O. oblita Grt. 1877. Grt., Bull. Geol. Surv., m1, 117, Oncocnemis. HABITAT.— Nevada. The type is in the British Museum. It agrees well with the descrip- tion, but does not seem to be an Oncocnemis; at least I can not make out a claw to the fore tibia. I have seen the species without recognizing it. Mr. Grote states positively “Fore tibie with a short claw,” and as it is possible that the type specimen has become defective, | can not at present dispute the reference. O. cibalis Grt.* 1880.

Types are in the Edwards collection and in the British Museum. The Edwards specimen I had seen when L wrote in 1889, and the Mu- seum specimen simply confirms my opinion. The anterior tibie 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. - Genus APOROPHYLA Gn. 1841. Gn., Ind. Meth., Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr., x, 246. A. yosemite Grt. 1873.

It is a robust, xylinoid 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 itis. Mr. Bruce has recently sent me a specimen from Colo- rado, which agrees fairly well with the type. 164 BULLETIN 44, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. Genus HADENELLA Grt. 1883.

In view of the fact that both of the other species are referable to Senta, rather than Nonagria, itis not unlikely that Guence had before him something very like S.defecta Grt.

The species is the generic type, and the description as applied to the specimen is a wonderful production.

Guenée described his type from Brazil, and as var. A, men- tions aspecimen from New York. This is like what is in all American collections, as infirma; but is specifically distinet 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.

The type of nitens is in Mr. Neumegen’s collection, that of griseocincta I have not seen; all the others save velata are in the British Museum. Velata 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. Guenée 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 200 BULLETIN 44, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. are typical specimens of vecors. Velata, the type of which was kindly sent me by Mr. Moffat, is a badly rubbed specimen, more like nitens in appearance. O. virgula Grt. 1883. Grt., Papilio, m1, 76, Taniocampa. 1889. Smith, Proc. U.

I do not follow Mr. Butler’s references to illita Gn., because 1 believe that to be another species. One of the types is in the Jardin des plantes in Paris, while none is in the BritishMuseum.

Bipunctina was described from a figure by Abbot and has no type; grandipuncta was described from specimens in the Saunders & Guenée collections. The types are, there- fore, probably one of them at Oxford, the others at Rennes with M. Oberthiir. The bibliography given is a mere outline. In Comstock’s Cotton Report of 1879 and in the 4th Rept. 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 few words may be necessary. Prof. Comstock accepted Mr. Grote’s dietum on authority, while suggesting that it was not beyond doubt. Dr. Riley does not accept Mr. Grote’s identification at all,and goes at some length. into the reasons for declining to do so. Unfortunately, with a large material at command, he yet failed to find a species to which he was willing to apply Hiibner’s figure positively. Mr. Butler says, “I can not admit this identification of argillacea,” referring to its union with xcylina Say. He refers to argillacea, illita Gn., conducta W1k., and hostia Harv. Hostia and conducta are synonymous from my own examination of the types. Of dalita | am not certain; but I feel very firmly con- vinced that Hiibner did not have this form before him to be figured, 244 BULLETIN 44, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. Some four or five years ago I examined, at Dr. Riley’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 rylina and of no other species. The very great majority of early figures are no more accurate than is Hiibner’s argillacea, but where there are not closely related species the matter is immaterial. In this instance I believe Mr. Grote most clearly in the right. Genus PTERATHOLIX Grt. 1873. Grt., Trans. Am. Ent. Soc., Iv, 298. P. bullula Grt.* 1873. Grt., Trans. Am. Ent.

In fact there were so many names and so little difference in the specimens that I felt unwill- ing to identify the Texan form with any of them.

Mr. Grote in his lists writes Plusia Fabricius, and in 1874 quoted Lederer as authority for this use. Lederer, however, says Plusia Treitschke; but says also Plusia Fabricius, for a section of the genus in- cluding those not referable to Abrostoia; Staudinger writes Plusia Och- senheimer, and this accords with what I have found in my searches among the ancients. In none of the Fabrician works is Noctua 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 Ochsenheimer must be credited with the genus, P. zrea Hbn.* 1810. Hbn., Schmett.

In the British Museum are types of hamifera and dyaus, and these are unquestionably alike. There are also specimens of dyaus under pre- cationis W1k.; but there are no specimens of regationis 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. Guenée 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. Hamifera is recorded from Brazil and Venezuela, covering thus the localities given by Guenée. bo co i CATALOGUE OF NOCTUIDZ—SMITH. P. culta Lint. 1885. Lintner, 2nd Rept. Ins.

HABiIrat.—South Park, Colorado. The type is with Mr. Neumegen. Genus CHLORIDEA Westw. 1841. Westw., in Jardine, N. H. Libr., xxxvit, 198. IT 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. C. virescens Fabr.* 1781. Fabr., Spec. Ins., 11, 217, Noctua. 1787. Fabr., Mant.

Gundlach makes it rhevia 2, virescens 2, while Riley unites the two on the study of long series of material. I have no doubt they are correct, though Guenée points out what seem to him good characters and gives the Fabrician species a South American habitat only. C. subflexa Gn. 1852. Gn., Spec.
