Tliis work (Bnlletin No. 44) is one of a series of papers intended to
innstratc the collections belonging to the United States, and consti-
tuting the National Musenm, of which the Smithsttninn Institution
was placed in charge by the act of Congress of i\ugust 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 I'rocoed-
ings, of which the sixteenth volume is now in press. A small edition
of each pa])er in the Proceedings is distributed in pamphlet form to
specialists in advance of the publication of the bound volume.
The Bulletin of the Natioiml Museum, the publication of which was
commenced in 1875, consists of elaborate papers based upon the col-
lections of the Musenm, reports of expeditions, etc., while the Proceed-
ings facilitate the prompt publication of freshly-acquired facts relating
to biology, anthropology, and g;-ology, descriptions of restricted groups
of animals ;ind plants, the discussion of parti<*ular questions relative
to the synonymy of species, and the diaries of minor expeditions.
Other papers, of more general popiUar 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 tlie publications of the Smithsonian Institution.
Papers intended for publication in the Proceedings and Bulletin of
the National Museum nre referred to the Committee on Publications,

PREFACE.
The basis of good work in any science 3 » knowledge of what ha^
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-
tuidte has been seriously embarrassed by the difficulty in acquiring
tliis 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. G rote'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 alter 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 {Minted became vague and indefinite when larger material brought
us many and closely allied species. The greatest bugbear to American
Lepidoptcrists has been the work of Francis Walker in the (catalogues
of the British Museum. Mr. Grote after twenty years of study in the
Noctuidae had failed to identify a large percentage of the spe<;ies, while
even of the species described by (luenoe 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-
tuidie, 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. 1 have hatl, dur-
ing that time, unusual o])portunities 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 Nootuidffi of Tenii»ernte North America."

PREFACE.
Some years ago it wa» conteinplnted by Dr. G. V. Riley and myself
to iHMue a complete monograph of tliis family, giving all that could be
learned of the early stages as well as the more strictly systematic work,
and for several > ears a great deal of material was gathered. It is to
Dr. liiley that I owe a very large part of the facilities for study in the
scattered collections, and my sincere gratitude isdueto him for his many
kindnesses of all descriptions. Pressureof more imperative dutiescom-
IHilled 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 Enro]>e, and
especially that in the British Museum, became constantly more obvious.
In September, 1891, it became {Mssible 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-
ti<ms contained in the museums at London, Paris, and Berlin, and visited
also the Staudinger collection at Dresden.
Tlie notes made by me during this trip are incorporiitcd in the follow*
ing pages; but a brief statement of the character and condition of the
collections examined may not be amiss.
The Bi-itish Museum contains of American Noctuidte the material
collected by Doubleday and worked over by Guende in 1852, and by
Walker between IS;")*} 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 miscellaneims accumulations from
all sources, including a very interesting h»t collected by Lonl Walsing-
ham. The Doubleday material is in large part provided with locality
labels, but it als<» contains specimens purchased by him, the fatherland
of which is more than doubtful. (iuent>e has in some instances written
"New Yorck," where nothing * the insect nor in the record will author-
ize it. It is in most cases easy t.o identify the specimens described by
Guen<^e, though not all of them have labels in his handwriting, Walker
had, in addition to the Donblcday material c^uitaining theGuen^e types,
a lot of material colle»^ted 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. Hnt., xx, 231),^' There are a number
of spet'imens 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 magnitlcent c(»lle<;tion of A bbot's drawings in
the Museum. Among them are such rarities as CoHsm bnsalis Wlk.
{Inffuromorpha ftlossoni Hy. Edw.), and Avherdoa ferraria Wlk. ( Varina
ornata Neum.), both of them only recently rediscovered and redescribed.
The figures of the.se 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.
PRKPACE. 7
Miu'll of tbe material (1e8r,ril>ecl by Walker is in very |ioor couditiou,
aud it required a very tliorougb kiiowled^*' ot the American laaiia U*
identify the .species in all cases. Walker's metlnid, accordinip^ to butler
( Journ. liinn. So<;., Zoiil., Vol. xii, pp. 4(>2 and 432), and iNTSonal state
ments to me, was rather i)eculiar. His habit was to pin into a Iwx, in
series, as many specimens as it would conveniently hold, and then begin
describing. At the end of the day's toil the Ik)x would be closed with-
out indication of what had been accomplished, aud next morning work
would be reconmienced from recollection of what bad been previously
done. None of tbe s|)ecimens were labeled until the descriptions were
in type, aud then, using a proof sheet, the printed names were (;ut out
and pinned below the series of specimens, not on the insects themselves.
Sometimes it happened thai there were more names than insects; in
such case the label was pinned into the box and, occasionally, tbe record
"type lost," was made. Thus, sometimes two of Walker's names may
refer to tbe same s]>ecimen as well as to tbe same species, aud it is not
always easy to ascertain when this is so. Judging from the fact that
sometimes tbe descriptions do not in the least fit the specimens labeled,
there is reason to believe that no great care in applying tbe names was
exercised.
Messrs. Grote and Robinson, and afterward Mr. Grote alone, have
examined tbe Walker material and have identified many of tbe species.
In 1887 Dr. Biley looked over tbe material carefully and secured colored
figures of many of tbe species theretofore unrecognized. These figures
and the notes accompanying them. Dr. Biley has kindly loaned me aud
they have been of assistance to me in a number of instances. Mr. But-
ler has, recently, in rearranging the collection, published tbe sy-
nonymy of some others of tbe Walker 8]>ecie8. Mr. Grote seems never
to have silent 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 bis notes conclusive in tbe case of obscure species. Critical
or synonymical notes should never be made except upon careful study
and comparis(m by a specrialist or one fiilly acquainted with the fauna
concerned. Justi<;e to an author requires that his writings be studied
before relegating bis species to tbe synonymy, and if neither time nor
opportunity tor such study exists, it is simply adding confusion to ig-
norance to make synonymical notes on superficial comparisons.
Mr. Henry Kd wards 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 be bad
nofiCs on many of tbe Bombycids which he intended to put into shape
for publication ; but bis untimely death prevented this.
Tbe new arrangement of tbe noctuids in tbe British Museum is utterly
at variance with accepted standards. Mr. Butlei''s generic associations
8
PREFACE.
embrace specieH of Badena, Mameatra, Tteniocampa and otherft under
oue term, while cIoMely allied Hpecie.s may be widely Heparated under
different generic uames. Mr. Butler has not, to my 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 ii8S4)ciations 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 Orote and Zeller material with the old col-
lection, forming one scries. 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 si^ccimen calls atten-
tion to it. This greatly facilitates the search for species, and my task
was considerably lightened by my ability to compare the Guen^e,
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 api)arent, 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 Guen^e 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 1 liad 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 the American species, and I could thus readily determine
,in most instances whether or not I correctly knew the insects. As my
time was limited, I did not study Aoronycta, which Dr. Riley ha<l already
studied on a prior occasion, nor CatocalUj which Messrs. Grote and
Henry Edwards had compared. Outside of these genera I found all
save four or Ave of the Walker species, and was able to recognize nearly
all of them. Of those n<»t found, Mr. Bntler has seen no trace as yet,
and they may be "lost." Some few, * believe five s|)ecies, dcscril)ed by
Mr. Walker, from the Saunders collection, now at Oxford, are yet un-
known to roe, asl could not get to that city.* The species described
from Dr. Bethune's collection I have previously ulentifled, and the ty|)es
are 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'Urban, 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 ;;,,-j tten. To the kindnes^s of Mr. J.
Alston Moffat, curator of the Society, I owe un 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 contined Mr. Butler
to his home during most of my stay, else I might perhaps have suc-
ceeded in finding a trat^e 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
nie 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 Noctuidse to-day.
Some of the species described by Guunee are in the Jardin des Plantes
in Paris, and this I also visited. The museum and the co11c(*tions there
were a distinct disappointment. Not only is it cooi)ed up in numerous
small rooms, packed in inconvenient places, but for yciirs past it seems
to have had little or no attention, and there is apparently no ]»retence
of arrangement. Yet with the kind assistance of M. Aug. Sall«3, 1 did
succeed in getting at most of the species ntarked "M. N.," in the s^ <icies
General. I was in hopes of being able to get track of the Abbot draw-
ings, from which Guen<^e described a number of species; but I did not
succeed in this. It was a matter of great regret to me that I did not
spend the time devoted to Paris, in visiting M. Oberthiir at liennes;
but I did not realize how little there was of importiince, at Paris, and
how much there was at Beiines. The brief time at my disi)osal nmde

PREFACE.
Hero ugain I found a well-preserved and well-arranged collection, not
particnlarly rich in North American species, but with many South
American forms valuable for comparisons, generic and otherwise, and
with a cimsiderable number of arctit; forms, including some of Dr.
Staudinger's types.
I owe thanks here to Dr. Karsch for his obliging courtesy in giving
such assistance as 1 asked. In fact, the most pleasant and agreeable
features of my trip were the hearty cooperation I met with everywhere
aud the ready willingness to aid, by any means in their power, that
distinguished call those having charge of the collections 1 desired to see.
The trip to Dresden was a distinct disappointment. Dr. Staudinger
was not iu 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 tt) expect. My leave of absem-e was then about ex-
hausted and I returned to Anunica via Bremen.
Ill preparing the notes made in the Euroi)ean collections I found that
it would be necessary to refer to the greater part of the «lescribed
species, and after consulting with Dr. Kiley, I concluded to prepare a
catalogue embodying not only my notes on the types in foreign collec-
tions, but also on those iu American collections. My aim is to give, as
nearly as m.ay be, the present location of the type specimen of every
noctuid species described from America since (Tueiiee 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. Neumoegen, of New York city. Mr. Neum-
oegen has succeeded in accumulating a very large amount of valuable
material, mainly tVom 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 type> of 233 or about 13 per cent of our species j
not always uniipie types, but specimens so marktul.
Ni'xt in importance is the collection of the late Henry Edwards, also
of New York city. Mr. Edwards rlescribed many species from his own
collection and furnished specimens for a considerable number of the
species described by Messrs. Grote and Hsirvey. A large part of the
value of Mr. Edwards' collection is derived froni the fact that he pei-
soually collected a very great portion of it, and that it is labeled with
the exact l(>cality of capture and not merely with a State label. This
collection has been acciuired for tlu^ American Museum of Natural
History in New Y'^ork city, and will be, when iu place theie, a most
viilnable one for the student.
Tlie collection of Mr. Fred Tepper, of Brooklyn, now the property of
the Agricultural College of Michigan is uext in rank, containing IU
types, many of them described by Mr. Morrison, aud some of them
duplicating the "types" in other collections.
PREFACE.
11
The Strecker collection at Reading, Pa., contains aconsiderable num-
ber of types; not only all that were described by Dr. Strecker himself
but also some of those describe<l by Mr. Morrison and Dr. Behr.
At some distance behind are the collections of Mr. E. L. Graef, of
Brooklyn, N. Y ; Dr. Roland Tbaxter, of Cambridge, Mass. ; Dr. J. A.
Lintner, of Albany, N. Y.; Dr. George D. Hulst, of Brooklyn, N. Y.;
Mrs. C. H. Fernald, Amlierst, Mass., and the collections of Dr. Jauies
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 some 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 hisoriginal descrription, as "tyi)e,"
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
sjM'cies. 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 ujwn individ-
ual collections; the second alter the sale of his collection, wlu>n lie gave
away most, if not all, the material received. In the case of my own
species "types" are often even more widely distributed. 1 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 Imnds of Dr. T. V. Bailey, son
of Dr. James Baileiy, by whom the collection was iiuide. It has more
types than I 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
tyj)es, but is valuable from the long sciies of specimens accurately
labeled with the exact locality and usually also with the date of caj)
tare — a very treasure to the stmlent. Dr. i^intner's collection is val-
uable for much the same reason. From thesf collections Mr.
Grote obtained muth of the material from which he des«iribed, and the
returned specimen'' while iiot often marked -'type" 'Except in the early
days, are yet typical in that they fornied part of the nmterial on which

Dr. Thaxter has collected extensively in Massachusetts and Maine

PREFACE.
and to a less extent in Florida. These collections furnished tyi)es 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 lor a number of new
species to Messrs. Grote and Morrison, but has few " tyi)e8."
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 collectetl by Morrison. A very great proportion of the si>ecies
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 Kutgers College, is espec-
ially ri(;h in Gatocala;, typifying Dr. Hulst's work in that genus, and it
ctmtains 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 sill named by Mr. Grote and is typical of
three papers on New Mexican moths.
Prof. George H. French, of Carbondale, Ills., has tyi)es 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. Brace'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 noctuid types, the Agricultural College of
Michigan contains the Tepper collection already mentioned. A few
type specimens are in the Cornell (M)llection at Ithaca, N. Y. Kutgers
College has the Hulst collection and types of some of my 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, 101), Mr. Grote writes concerning the work
by Mr. Robinson and himself: <<The collection on which th(5se 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 speiMes 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 ih^iicat(^ 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.
18
papers referred to, make it possible to ascertain the names of which the
specimens are typical. But many species have disapiicared, leaving
no trace; in whose liands they are at present I liave been unable to
ascertain. Mr. Grote, in tlie third and fourth volnmes of the Transac-
tions of the American Entomological Society, published a number oi
descriptions referring to the types as in this same collection. Most ol
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 s])ecimens to get a duplicate series as nearly as
possible resembling the originals. This series wiii 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 ooUection, 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 Zoiilogy, are most of
the tyi)es of Dr. Packard's species described from Labratlor. These
were originally in the Museum of the Peabody Academy, at Salem,
where I first saw them, and they wore then in a sadly fragmentary
condition, and (m the high road to complete doHtruction. Their trans-
fer to Cambridge was a decidedly wise move, ajid 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 spt'ciniens is a desideratum. For
his work on the North Americaii Lcpidoptera, 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 Museuni are very rich in
noctuidce, but have compiirativoly few types of the older authors. A
small tiumber of the Walker types weie donated U} the museum by
Dr. C. J. S. Bethune, at my request, in 1891. All of Dr. Uiley's species
are represented in the collection, forming psn t of liis 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 nniseum, and contiiined types of a fe.v
species described by myself, and of a number of species (les(Tibed and
given me by Mr. Grote after the sale of his collection to the British
Museum. In the Meske collection, now also in the mnsenm, there are
a few types by Grote, Harvey ami Lintner, while it also contains nearly
the same series of species to be found in the other Albany collections
previously mentioned. The Bclfrage mat^ .al purcliasetl for the nuiseum
14
PREFACE.
contains no types, but it contains a duplicate series of many of the
Texan species descTibed by Messrs. Grote and Harvey, often under the
exiict label in number and color mentioned in the characterization of
the type.
Of the species more recently described by myself, the musenm con-
tains a large proportion of the types. It has been my effort to pla«,'e,
so far 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 tlie 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 noctuidic this collection is, in the quality of
material, the length of series, the localities represented, and range ot
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
incomi)arably 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 gemnal 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 i)retence of completeness in the biblio-
graphy. Occasionally only tiie name of the publfeation Jind page were
given and neither volume nor year. 1 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 numuscript, and fliuiUy transferred to type. This leaves a margin
for error, and although I have in the great nnijority 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 addititiou and here I
found Dr. Hagen's "Bibliotheca" invaluable. Yet the dates given of
some of the older works issued in parts can bo considered as approxi-
mate merely. In most cases this is of little pratitical 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 api)eared for some years afterward. Ililb-
ner's Yerzeichniss is dated 1810 and contains references to the noo>

tuulie in the second hundred of the Ziitiji-ge which, according to Mr.
Grote in Can. Bnt., xiii, 02, was published in 1823. Now, either the
references were published from Ave to seven years before the descrip-
tions and plates appeared or the Verzeichniss was not published until
long after its date. In view of this fact and the fact that the entire
first hundred of the Zutrapge is referred to, no earlier date than 1820
can be reasonably assumed for Iliibner's list. This makes it long sub-
sequent to Ochsenheimer's Systema Glossatornm, also dated in 1810
and, I believe, actually published about that time. Yet I have cited
181(> as the date of the Verzeichniss in most cases where it confli<ts
with no other reference. Usually the dates given by Dr. Hageii have
been accepted as controlling.
Ill citing references from society publications I have used the date
given on the printed forms, even where 1 was well assured that the date
was later, wherever this method would not involve the question of pri-
ority. The noctuidre have been singularly fortunate in ottering a very
few cases only in which there could be any serious doubt as to which
name had priority. In 1874 and 187;">, when Messrs. Grote, Morrison,
Harvey, and Strecker were publishing at about the same time, several
species were twice described, with narrow nmrgins between the dates
of publication; but these margins were at on<re fixetl and no confusion
resulted. In a number of cases Mr. Grote has dui»licated descriptions
in separate journals, eacli description purpcutiiig to be that of a "n. sp."
Thus, descriptions in the Bull. Bkln. Knt. So**, are duplicated in the
Canadian Entomologist, while descriptions in that journal are (lui»!i-
cated in the Bull. Butt". Soc. Nat. Sci. As this duplication occurred
mainly at about the <late Mr. Morrison was describing, I assume that
it was intended to secure two chances of priority.
In citing localities to show geo};iaphical 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 cha* 'er 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 Strtte. The Catskill and Adirondack regions each have forms
peculiar to themselves, Mhile along the northern and western bound-
aries of the State still ether forms occur. Most of the other States are
in much the same case, and in some the nnitter is more serious. Texas
has two quite distinct faunal regicms, <Hie of them giving the normal
Atlantic forms, the other extending into New Mexico and Arizona, and
giving quite a distinctive set of speeies. Colorado has a surprisingly
varied fauna, as will appear in the following pages. Yet a citation by

I
States or by groups of States lias 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 pubhshed or
labeled. Finally, I have reason to believe that the "East Florida" of
the British Museum list may mean Te&as or Georgia as often as what
is now known as Florida.
The sources for the localities given are the original descriptions, lists
published by Lintner, Thaxter, Snow, Van Duzee, Hill, Mrs. Fernald,
and others, in the entomological journals and elsewhere, a very t!om-
plete list of species taken in Colorado by Mr. Bruce, the collections at
Rutgers 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 nmde 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, hal)its, 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 tiiere is so much repetition,
so much <;ompilation, and so much duplication that to include the mat-
ter here would have exteiuled 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. Riley's Missouri
reports, some of Dr. Lintner's reports, and the volumes of the Entomo-
logical Commission ; the first ami se(!ond of these because they contain
descriptions of new species, and in the case of Dr. Riley's reports, ex-
cellent and characteristic figures: tlie latter because the treatment is
scientificand monographic, containing exhaustive treatises on all phases
of structure, habit, and development.
Bulletin 35 of the U. S. National Museum should be, therefore, bound
with the present work to complement and com])lete it.
Our literature contains a large number of notes on species, giving no
new or useful information and of men'ly locjil interest. Iteferences to
these have been omitted. The object has been to give : (I) The place
of origimil description; (2) complete redescriptions; (3; additions to
PHEFACE.
17
the knowledge conncniing the species; (4) the changes made in generic
location. Under this latter head I have not included references to sacli
lists as adopt a dift'erent generic term for an entire genus, e. g., Mr.
Grote uses Apatela and UeliophUa 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 one 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 suflftciontly in
the bibliographj' 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 Avithout some verification. Usually Mr. rote 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 bo used eventually. It follows ftom 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 lupidopterists gen-
erally.
All the species contained in the National Museum collection are mar -ced
with sin 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 theProct^edings 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 eaoh author
is given a list of his books here cited. Names which have no such lists
appended, represent authors that have published on American Noctuidee
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, Uagen's Bibliotheca 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.

I refer this species to Thyatira beoause I have not been able to find
any essential differences between it and batb. The tyi)e of maculation
is quite distinct, but does not sufflcc for generic 8ei)aration. In the
Edwards collection there is an Alaskan specimen, and in the Britiali
Museum one from Hudson Hay Territory, wliit'h indicate a new species.
They are much darker in color, aiul in the course of the t. a. Hue agree

viction that the American species heretofore referred to Thyatira are
not at all congeneric with batis, the type of the genus. Tliere is a cer-
tain similarity in the type of maculatiou, but none in wing form or in

I follow Mr. Grote iu the use of this Hiibneriau term, because Cyma-
t&phora has been used iu the Geouietridse, and the term hiis become
confusing. It is quite ceruaiu 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, australis is not,
as I had supposed from specimens named by Mr. Grote, the same na
ophthalmica, but probably a good species. Mr. Grote has mixed vari-
etal forms of Guen^e's species with his own. As the matter stands now,
after studying all the types, the species divide as follows:
Shoulders and base of primaries concolorous dokmitans.
Shoulders and base of primaries white.
Median lines complete, even, white doublbdayi.
T. p. line incomplete, reniform distinct ophthalmica.
T. p. line wanting, reniform wanting Australia.

as used by Mr. (Irote. The species are structurally identical with the
Eui'opean ccetiobita, and one species — acronyctoideH — has also practically
the same type of markings.

Edwards coUeiition. I have seen all the types and the above .synon-
ymy is correct, I believe. The Raphia oni/cJiinu (in., was described as
Upunda, referred to Raphia' by Walker and to Oleoceris by Grote. This
has resulted in a duplication of the name in my list of Lepidoi)tera.

Mr. Morrison's type is in th«^ Tepper collection. Mr. GroteV types I
have not seen. They may be in the British Museum; but if so I over-
looked them. The spei-ies has not been critically stu«lied, 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 Kuropean insect. I am
not nearly so ready to believe in the identity of European and Ameri-
can species as I once was.

In 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. Riley
has made comparisons in the European museums, and I did not, there-
fore, look over the species except as they canto accidentally under my
notice. So, too, I have given the location of the types only where they
are in American collections of which I had notes, or where I accident-
ally noted the fact. The bibliography, however, is as nearly complete
as iu most other genera.

Mr. Grote never positively identified this species. Walker's spinigera
is cited to harveyana, while Mr. Grote says most of the specimens of
HpinUjera in American collections are paUidivoma. Whether the larva?
mentioned by Thaxter and Dimmock arc! of this species, or of palUdi-
coma, or of some other yet unnamed species, is thus left uncertain.
May, June, and August are dates given i'ltr Hpinigera.

It would be waste of space to cite this monograph for every species,

have examined many others without seeing any that agreed with Bois-

or specimens from which the description was made is in the British
Museum. It i« a poor, somewi.. it rubbed specimen, but it is unques-

lection of the American Entomological Society at Philadelphia and a
duplicate " type " is in the British Museum. The type of Oraphiphora
velata Walker is also referable to tlip same species, as Mr. Butler has
stated. The type of brunneipennis is with Jlr. Thaxter and I have seen
it in his collection.

Types of each of these names are in the British Museum. Mr. Grote's

ciipidissima. 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

Mr. Grote Lad uamed cupidissima iu Mr. Neunioegeu's collectiou, a
series of specimens wbich I assumed were correctly determined. In-
terpreting Mr. Grote's descriptions by these specimens, I made orhis
and Icetula synonyms of cupidissima in the monograph. The true eupi-
dissima is very different from this species, and neither orhis 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 us it
is traceable, is complete.

this species, and that the black filling in the cell around the ordinary
spots is a variable quantity. " The species named favula and formalin

The type in the British Museum is nothing like the apociinons so
named by Mr. Grote in Mr. Neumoegen's colle<'tion, and which I a(;-
cepted as correct. The real species I had not seen before. In size it is
like alternnta ami there is a distinct blackish costal i>atch in the s. t.
space preceding s. t. line. In the character of the ordinary spots it is
nearest to diacoidalis. I find four specimens of the specjies in the Na-
tional Museum, which have been more recently added to the collection.

The European synonymy and bibliography are not given. In the
British Museum is a specimen marked Polyphcenis herbacea in what
appears to be Guen^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 I have seen
a specimen of prasina labeled herhaeea by Mr. Grote; it is unspread
and might easily serve as type of Guende'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 tliem are specimens labeled dilucida by Mr.
Grote, and these sire exactly like GuenC'e's species. Mr. Morrison
labeled a number of specimens as " type" and I have seen several of them
in collections. They incliule specimens like Guen^e'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 ;j(mua{t8
rounder winged, apices m ire obtuse, markings almost obsolete. In the
large series in the U. S. Na; 'onal Museum the diflfercnces 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 dift'erentiate the various forms I have giveti varietal rank to Mr.
Grote's names. Dr. Liutner also has a "type" of badicollis.

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

the British Museum does not seem to be the type; but is the species
Mr. Grote has always so determined. Mr. Morrison's type is now in

The type of this species is in the Museum of Comparative Zoology
at Cambridge. I failed to And 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 fbrm of
earnea is contradicted by the antenual characters; but the reference to
jPachnobia is t^orrcct. It looks like pect'nata Grt., with the maculation
scarcely traceable, and there is no difficulty in recognizing the species.

I was quite surprised to lind that Mr. Grote's type in the British
Museum was my species. 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-
pjired the specimen with the original description and concluded that it
c<mld 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 Uitoralis Pack. Pectinata may stand for the
variety with distinct median lines.]

The types of both vernilis and infimatis are in the British Museum,
and both are males. The specimens I had theretofore seen were all
females, and my guess as to the character of the male antenna proved
erroneous. Removed to Setagrotis, the characters pointed out by me
still hold to separate the species. From the two forms described by
mo they axe entirely distinct.

The type in the British Museum is evidently from Mr. Tepper. It is
an imperfect female, with smooth front, no fore legs, and broad, frail
wings. It is obscurely fuscous brown or bhick, ordinary spots fused
as in hollemannif but faint. I never before saw it, and without a male
can not give it a definite place.

In both the Griief and Neumoegen collections there are specimens
marked tenuescens Morr., tyi^e. These can not well have served as the
types for the description of tenuicola, and are related to simplaria and
incivis rather than confiua. I have adopted Mr. Morrison's name for
the specimens so labeled.

In the British Museum is a specimen marked docilis Grt. type,
which is without any doubt a form of occulta. It is from Snow, Colo-
rado, No. 894, and is entirely difl'erent 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 vhat 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 difterenco which specimen is accepted as type,
since in either case the name goes into the synonymy.

by Mr. Grote, is rnbifera. The type of CHuriolis, also in the Museum,
is without doubt the same species, differing only in that the orbicular
is imperfectly cU)sed superiorly, and tlie cell between the ordinary
spots more prominent than usual. The specimen is from Washington,

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 foretibia; are spinose and the palpi are as in clandestina.
It looks like a red alternata with all the maculatiou washed out, leav-
ing only the slightly paler median lines. Mr. Butler has \i\acedphyl-
lophora, 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. phyl-
lophora, which it will probably supersede." This was published while
I was in England, but I did not see it until after my return, else I would
have made more detailed comparisons. The specimen did not even sug-
gest phyllophora to me, and it can not be that species ; first, because it
has none of its characteristic markings, and second, because it is from
Georgia, while phyllophora is decidedly a Northern insect, and has never,
in my experience, been taken as far South as Washington, D. C, where
ttiere 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
frmnd. Among the unpublished drawings by Abbot in the British
Museum are a number of Noctuidixi that I never saw and that are cer-
tainly undescribed. Such species as Yarina ornata Neum., described
only a year or two ago, were figured and the habits noted by Abbot,
and the specimens were afterw.ard named by Walker. No one has since
collected Lepidoptera systematically on Abbot's old ground, and Avhen
that is once done, I have no doubt that suhporphyrea Wlk. will be re-
discovered.

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

pearance and is really a rather shabby specimen of cloanthoides, of
which Mr. Graef has the type. T have recently received a Colorado
specimen exactly like the tyi)e of albalis, and now consider it a. good
variety at least. A similar specimen is in the National Museum, labeled

color, and not at all a fair representation of the species, which does not
differ from ceneipitinifi. 1 would not be very greatly surprised if rflw-

identifled it Avith Eucoptocncmis Jimbrmris Gn., than which it is nar-
rower winged with almost the same maculation. Its association with
tlie species of this genus is probably correct; but I have had no oppor-
tunity to <x;iriine a male critically. I have a spccnmen compared with
the type. The National Museniti specimens arc under the name Eucoj)-

Mr. Grote, wliich is not the s.ame species. The insect is from Tucson,
Ariz., and is from Mr. Neumoegeu's collection. In that colle(5tion
are other spei'imens also labeled tcxana and from them I drew the
character for tlie species, in my revision. I liad 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, tliej' could not have been identified
with certainty at all. As it is, the t\q)e proves a Porosaffrotis instead
of a Carmwles, aud the insect I des<;ribed in my revision lacks a name.
The S antenna' are pectinated, secondaries wJiite in the male, only a
little soiled in tlie female. The claviform is obvious. It is between
rileyi and or^hojfoiiia, diflering obviously from either. The types have
no locality labels, and 1 have no information as to who collected them.
It is ])ossible that it may prove nu)re nearly related to my obcsula than
I now belies e, when abundant material is at hand.

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

The type is in the Graef collection. A specimen in the British
Museum is somewhat more maculate; but sccnis to be the same. Mr.
Butler refers it to Cliera birivia, Hbn., and I can not myself flud 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 identii-al, though superficially they seem alike. I have there-
fore retained IVIr. (irote's name for the present. If Ohera has as type
this species, it will have to rei>lsice Carncades. Mr. Grote's specimen
has no locality.

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

nothing at all in common with the other species referred to that genus.

Harris's type is in the Boston Society of Natural History, where I
have seen it. Spiasa Gn., as dcterminod by Walker, is the same spe-
cies; but the type is not in the British Museum. Walker found this
species a veritable silver mine, seven hard shillings being its value to
him, and as many of his types are in the Museum. Dr. Riley's type is
in the National Museum. Mr. Morrison's is in the Tepper collection.
The type of repentis is to be found in the colletttion of the American

The type, or a specimen so marked, is in the British Museum and

The tyjws of the Walker and Grote names are all in the British
Museum and they refer to one speeieM only. Imtitlsa is a somewhat
ev<>nly colorc<l form, with the cell but slightly contrasting; otherwise
there is no ditlereuce. Decolor Morr., of which I have also seen the
ty|)e, is the form in which there is considerable contrast between the
light and dairk shades, while in type campe»tri» 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

^Ir. Grote has curiously mistaken Walker's species in referring it to
Haihna tiuffimca Morr. It does bear a casual resemblance to Mr. Mor-
rison's species; but the generic characters should have ])revented the
association. However, Mr. Morrison does furnish an exact synonym,
for illata is almost precisely like cinereomaculata, the type of which I
have seen. The types of Mr. Grote's species are in the British Museum.
Guen^'e's tyj)e is in the Oberthiir collection at Rennes.
Mr. Butler has placed a somewhat faintly marked specimen, labeled
turris by Mr. Grote, under saucia, and has published them as identical.

Mr. Grote's type in the British Museum is exactly like my types in
Mr. Neuma'geu's collecti<m and in the National Museum. I am not at
all satisfied that there is not a good species such as I luive placed in the
4-dentata series in the "Revision;" but Mr. Grote's type is unquestion-
ably like my infelix and my name sinks. The species is au excessively
variable one, and its exact limits are scarcely dellued as yet.
C. islandica Stgr.
1857. StffT., Stett. Ent. Zeit., 1857, 232, Agrotia.
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 ohcliscoides and
tessellata. The maculation is perhaps more like the latter; but tlie
color contrasts are sharper, and the species as a whole is brighter. I
can not understand why Staudinger considered his lahradoriensia a
variety. He has now associated it in the collection witli 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 teHsellata as
the description indicates; but it is very near co^ifa— so near indeed
that except for the giound color there is little ditt'erence. It will prob-
ably result eventually that the two are identical. Since my return
from England, Mr. Bruce has sent me this species for idontidcation.

I have not been able to And this species in the British Museum, nor
lias Mr. Butler been abh"; to trace it. Messrs. (Irote and Kobinson saw
it, and to them it suggested a rubbed tritici. It is quite likely to be
either tessellata or insulsa, and is almost certainly a species known to
us under another name.
Here ends the agrotid series. I have omitted Agrotia vetusta Wlk.,
of which the type is lost, and which can not possibly be made out from
the description. The latter will be found in my "Revision" if anyone
cares to try to identify it.

The types of the (irote and Walker species are in the British Museum,
and are the same as my denpemta. 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 coi-
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.

Mr. Grote's reference of this species to vindemialis Gn., is incorrect.
The type of Guen^e's species is in the British Museniri, and is said to
be from Florida, while I have never seen Mr. Morrison's species from
south of Pennsylvania. I have referred vindi'mialw to Trtniocampa,
where notes on it should be sought. I do not know where Mr. Morri-
son's type can be found.

This genus will probably stand subdivision into several genera. Two
rather well-marked ^rouijs, or subgenera, Xylophasia and Luperina,
have been monographed by me in the Proe. U. 8. Nat. Mus., 1890, Vol.
XIII, 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 IJadena will probably
be lestricted to one of them. The species not included in the above
revi. * . are for the present plaeed into a section Hadena merely to
separate them. As uSual, unless otherwise stated, my identification
of the species was correct.

The types of paniier, incallida, and viralis are in the British Museum;
those of loculata and eonspicua are in the Tepper collection ; a .specimen
of loculata also marked *' type" is in the British Museum. Mr. Walker's
type is a ba<lly rubbed specimen, undoubtedly the same i\»pax8er. I can
not understand how both Mr. Orote and Mr. Butler could see any re-
semblance to renerabiUn, and at all events the structural characters
should have i)revented the reference. Mr. Orote's type of viralix is a
badly faded and discolored s])ccimen, also without doubt the same as
passer. In the Cambridge Museum is a specimen of this same species
marked ^^Eadcna destructor Peck," in Mr. GroteHs handwriting.

The type is in the British Museum. I And I had entirely mistaken this
species. It has nothing to do at all with ducta nor with the (levi.Htatrix
group, in fact, but belongs with the vulttioHa series. It is a very close
ally in maculation to remissa, or yet nearer to the European {/emina,
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. 1 can not at present remem-
ber where I obtained the specimens marked HcparaiiH, which led to my
errou«^ou8 reference.

The "tyi^e" is in the British Museum; but I am not sure it is a fair
representative of the species Mr. Grote meant to desi'ribe. It seems to
be really a form of caatanea, as Mr. (xrote 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 T 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 Gueude's
species was based upoi specimens labeled by Mr. Grote. I had sup-
posed idonea to be the western representative of cariosa. I liiul now
that there are jirobably 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
Guenee. The matter needs further study. I had no males of 'Hdonea^^
before me when I wrote, and therefore can not be sure that the charac-
ters given by mo authorize a new specific name.

The type in the British Museum is a poor, crushed female, closely
allied to algcns, but much darker basally. It is not intpossible 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 Divopis,
evidently without reference to the essential characters of that jjeuus.

might have intended to describe paginata; but figure and description
pointed to IHatysentaatrloiliata so decidedly that I feltjustitled in mak-
ing the refeieace in my recent list. Mr. Butler suggested that paginata
might be nnisignata 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.

closely or there are some that are widely distributed and somewhat
variable.

Guen<?e'.s type is in the British Museum. Mr. (irote, 111. Essay, 45,
refers/*. wofcfM* Wlk., C. B. M., Hct., x, 277, as a synonym to this
species, but 1 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 positiv(?ly. The typ(^ of mlvn is also in the British Museum,
and without a large anumnt of matt^rial certainly looks like a distim-t
speci(i8.

men, but of the normfil type. Commoda is a more obscure form in

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.

it is possible that the type specimen has become defective, 1 can not at

a rather near ally of my I'lerotini, I think. It seems a little out of pla<!e

(joiK'lusion that the 8i»ecies was a good one, but better reterred to
Luphygma than to Caradrina.

('ook I owe an opportunity of studying the type. It is, like so many of
Morrison's types, a poor specimen, and will probably be found referable
to Lmsa Grt., and a not distant relative of L. nigroguttata.

Habitat. — (ieorgia; Florida; Texas in September; Central and

A distinctly marked yet strongly variable species. The names above
given apply to our own fauna only; the iu.sect has been further rede-
scribed by Walker as XyUna inquieta, Prodema strigifera, and Leucania
externa, and by Mr. Butler as Frodenia ignoMlis. 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 sx}ecimeus,
they are not noted here.

I have not seen the type of this species and do not know where it is.
I am distinctly suspicious of species of about that date, said to have
been taken at Hoboken, New Jersey. There were one or two collectors
at that place who distributed extra limital species without locality
labels, asserting that tliey were fnun that region. Most of them wer«!
soon detected ; but I believe it will be found that Mr. Morrison has de-
scribed at least two of them.

sible that Mr. Grote's description was intended for this insect! It is
uot unlikely, for the description applies fairly well. Mr. Thaxter has
marked it '•'• bicolorata^'' and the two are very nearly related if not
identical.

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

Belonging here, and probably a species of Xolophana, is Cutina albo-
puncteUa Wlk., C. B. Mus., xxxv, 1735, 1866, described as a Pyralid.
The species is the generic type, and the description a« applied to the
specimen is a wonderful production. While I feel quite certain that
the specimen is a Nolophana or BaUa, I would not dare tp ifisk a gues^
at the species at present.

^fr. Butler was perfectly right in separating our North American
species. Guentie 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 lujirma; but is specifically distinct from the Brazilian
Hpecimens. Mr. Butler's type is in the British Museum.
If Lederer's description of his genus Dysehorittta is entitled to any
weight at all, it is impossible that (trennlata can be referred to it. Mr.
Butler has allo'ived himself to be misled by a certain habital resem-
blance.

smaller and smoother type of the same thing. Queu^e changed his

The type is in the Tepper collection. A correctly named specimen
is also in the British Museum, from the Orote collection. The species
is not a Tieniocampa and prubably belongs to the fasciatse; 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 npadix of Cramer, heretofore referred as a synonym of Dras-
Uria erechtea, is a distinct sp(^cies. 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 Ily. Kilw.
1874. Hy. Eclw., Proc. Cal. Ac. .Sei., v, 291.
The species of this genus are treated and monographically described
under Periyraplia in the Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., xii, 490. The Euro-
p can species of Perigrapha have a very strong resemblance habitally
to the sijecies of Stretchia, 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 Stretchia some
what antedates Acerra (Grt., Bull. Bufl^. Soc. Nat. Sci., ii, 162). This
law of priority plays odd tricks occas icmally and here necessitates the
, use of a term originally referred to the Uorabycidaj and irrecognizably
described as against another correctly placed and well described.

The type specimen in the British Museum represents a form I ha<l
not seen. It looks like a small brown Pachnobia with fused ordinary
spots. The autennsei are pectinated, front apparently smooth, eyo8
with hairy lashes, tibite unarmed.
More recently I have had this species for determination from two
sources and from Western localities other than California.

like ordinary specimens oioxalina. 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 Mesogona culea of M, Gueuee is s^ Twniooamj^a^ and will b^ found

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 Schinia. Strictly, rectifaseia is the type of Trileuca,
because btixeo, was placed in Xanthodea on p. 153, and is only incidentally
referred to Trileuoa on p. 1G6; but rectifaseia is unAtethmia, 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 aud practice " that
I retain the name with huxm as type.

Walker's type is in the British Museum, and so is the type of angu-
lata Grt. Mr. Butler has already shown that Mr. Grote did not cor-
rectly identify Walker's species, and redescribed it as angulata. In
tlio 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
Ortliosiid rather than Heliothid, though it may find closer allies on
future study.

only. It is ratlier curious that ferruginoides should so long have stood
for the species with bicolorago as the variety, while the opposite must
be the status. Bicolorago iire(ie([cs f err ugino ides by one pa^e and was
described as a species; while fcrruginttides was placed as a variety of

Genus QhJEA. Hbn.

221
In using the term Glasa and crediting it to Hiibner, I follow Mr.
Grote. I am not sure that our species of 6'tea are entirely congeneric
with the European species referred to Cerastis or Orrhodia and therefore
prefer to use a distinctive terra. As a matter of course, if our species
do prove generically distinct, HUbner'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 Bhynchagrotis and will be found
replacing ctipida Grt. In Can. Ent., xii, 155, Mr. Grote hds listed the
species and divided them into named sections, which ho afterwards
used as genera.

Mr. Grote's type is in the British Miisoum. Dr. Riley's name has
the same type. I keep the names antennata, laticinerea, and grotei as
representing distinct species, pending a critical study of the genus. It
is not at all impossible that distinctive characters can be found which
need not be "imagiued," as Mr. Butler suggests they would be.

The species is certainly not a Xylina, but seems to be congeneric with

I have seen none of the types. Jiipioi 'nk« was (los(!iibed fioni a

specimens in the Saunders & Guenee collectimis. Tlio types are, tlierc-
fore, probably one of them at Oxford, the otiiers at Uennes with M.
Oberthiir. The bibliofi'iaphy given is a mere outline. I:i Comstot k*s
Cotton Report of 1870 and in the 4th Kept, of the United States En
tomological Commission a full bibliography covering several i)ages is
given. Inthe.se publications all possible information <',om!erning the
species will be found. Con(.'erniiig the synonymy adopttid, a few w(trds
may be necessary. Prof. Comstock iU'cepted Mr. Grote's dictum on
authority, while suggesting that it was not beyond doubt. J)r. Riley
does not accept Mr. Grote's identification at all, and goes at sonu^ length
into the reasons for declining to do so. llnfortuiiately, with a large
nuiterial at command, he yet failed to liiid a species to which* he was
willing to apply Ililbner's Ugure positively. Mr. liutler says, "1 can
not admit this identill<!ation of arffillacen,''^ referring to its union with
.niflina Say. Ho refers to arf/illavcoy illKa Gn., coudnvUi \Vlk., ami honi'm

BULLETIN 44, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM.
Some four or Ave years ago 1 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 I'aris 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 1 then
«!oncluded that Hiibuer c(mld have had no other than Say's xylina
before him as original to his figure. There are (iertain specific char-
acters that are seen in xiflina and iii 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 whi<!h are a(;cepted un-
4|uestioned, and the specific features given are those of .rifUiia and of no
other species. The very great majiu'ity of early tigures are no more
accurate than is Hilbner's arffiUaeen^ but where there are not closely
related species the matter is immaterial. In this instance 1 believe 3Ir.
(irote most clearly in the right.

Genus PLUSIA Ochs.
1816. Oclis., Schuiett. Eur., iv, 89. '
Mr. Grote in his lists writes Plusia Fabricius, and in 1874 qnoted
Lederer as authority for this use. Lederer, however, says Plusia
Tieitschke; but says also Plusia Fabricius, for a section of the genus in-
cluding those not referable to Abrostola; Staudinger writes Plusia Och-
senheiinei', and this accords with what I have found in my seai-ches
auiong the ancients. In none of the Fabrician works is Koctua subdi-
vided, though probably in the Systeina Glossatoruni this was done. It
luay be that Lederer derives his authority froui this unpublished work;
but as the matter Ptands Ochsenheimer must be credited with the
genus.

In the British Museum are types of hamifera and dyaun, and these are
unquestionably alike. There are also specimens of dyaiis nuder pre-
cationis Wlk.; but there are no specimens of rofjationis 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 i'rom 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 T have not
seen absolute types, I make no doubt the Berlin specimens are correctly
named and that dyaus Grt., is the same si)ecies. Hamifera is recorded
from Brazil and Venezuela, covering thus the localities given by
Guenee.

Dr. Riley'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-mtreum Gn., is wild. In the Berliner Museum there is a specimen
labeled cchinocystis Behr, received from Boll, Texas. I am inclined to
believe the labeling authentic, and the very brief des(!ription is
n(it contradictory in any way. It has been referred, doubtfully, to
jKixipha'a; 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,

Dr. Bethune writes ./W/('//(?r/f while Walker has it/alcijfcm. I have not
seen the original description and am not sure which is correct. Mr.
Grote, however, also writes yW/c/V/t'/v/, and he has, perhaps, comjiared
th(M)riyinal work. The si)ecimens in tlie British Museum hlbeh^(l/fl^

the description copied by Dr. Bethune. It is, however, quite likely
tbat the species belongs here.

it did not represent the Linntean species. Iota, by the bye, is recorded

The type is in the British Museum, and is like the specimens I have

characters of the present genus, and only the superficial habitus of
Telesilla.
Genus PLAGIGMIMICUS Grt.
1873. Grt., Bull. Buff. Soc. Nat. Sci., I, 182.
The relation of the three preceding to the present genus can not be
considered as settled. In the Bull. Bklu. Ent. Soc, v, 30, I had united
them all as Basilodes, which is perhaps too radical a procedure. As
new species have been and will be added, the relations will become
more clear. Some of the species of Plmia will find a place here 1 think,
and perhaps some other species elsewhere referred at present.

responsible for Mr. Grote's synonym, by insisting, correctly enougb,

The type is in the British Museum. It is a curious mottled species,
with heavy body and primaries, in which the costa is depressed an«l
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 EntoniMlogical Society under
the title, " Synopsis of the North American Heliothinae." This was
my first monographic paper, and somewhat crude. It has proved itself
accurate enough as to tacts, 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 ffeli-
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.

Mr. (Irote's type 1 have not seen; but there can be no question as to
his species. Si>eciniens of it labeled by Mr. (Jrote are in the British
Muscimi, wiiere also VValiicr's type is. The latter is only a somewhat
suft'used aberration of the normal form and siiould be cited as such.

I use this term here in the same broad sense in which I used it in
njy lievisiou of tb<i Heliotliiuie, 'I nun*. Am. Ent. Soc., x, 225. It is
quite likely that the large number of additional species constantly
turning up may require its sulxUvision and the use of some of the
generic terms discarded by me. Tlie line of divisi<m may perhaps be
that indicated in the Kevisionj but a Ix'tter may be found on renewed
study. The genera included nnder the above term are:
Tamila, Gn., Spec. Gen., Xoct., ii, 17(1.
Anthoecia, Bdv., Ind. Meth., 102.

Porrima, Grt., Bull. Geol. Surv., in, 798.
Besides these, Mr. Grote has, on the characters pointed out by me,
used the terms Trichosellm and CUmidia in his Kevised Check List of
1891. Some of these names may come into use later: but of tliese
Lygntnthoecia has perhaps the weakest of all claims to consideration.
Of the species treated in the abov e revision, the tibial armature and
wing maculation are there figured; but no reference to these figuruo is
here made.

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

A type specimen is in the Edwards collection, while a very fine

Geyer, and Mr. Strecker had previously recognized that fact and de-

locate Mr. Grote's type. Mr. Grote described from a number of 8i)eci-

Gueueo's type came from the Coll. Feisthamcl — where that is at pres-

also unknown to me. It is one of the species that should be in the

Looks like an Aletiu at (list sight, with a small black orbicular, and a

The types are all Id the collection of the American Entonioloffical
Society. The differences between them consist in the relative distinct-
ness of the maculation, the discal and basal black spot of secondaries
disappearing entirely in mortua. In retaining the term paekardii for
this species instead of mortua, which has priority by half a page, 1 feel
sure that I am in accord with Mr. Grote's wishes on the subject.

The type of dornihitea is the same as the tuherculum of the Grote
collection, which I believe to be corio(^tly identified. The fore tibiie
have one inner and twoonter claws. In appearance the species resem-
bles lyn,r; 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 ''lo«'ality iinkiif'.vn."

arranged material and found some few species previously overlooked.

European insects are treated. I have tried only to credit the species
and to give reference to the works more usually accessible to American

is followed by dark sxK)ts,and on the secondaries the outer black band

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

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

genus, Eumeatleta; 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 AnthophUa 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

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 rieonectyptera and altogether it has the look of a tropical species. 1
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.

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 colh'ctions, and identilied all the names with
the proper species. Walker's tyjtes are in the British ^luseum, and all
his specimens are, I believe, of the erechtca form. P. amplissima Wlk.,
which had also been referred here is really Paralldia biHtriaris; on the
other hand Poaphila patihilis Wlk., undoubtedly belongs here. Pha-
Iwna spadix Cram., has been referred by Mr. Crote as the feiimle of
crechtea, and Walker made the figure the type and only species of his
genus Cissusa, without ever having seen an cxam]>le. Mr. 81ingerland
called my attention to the fact that the tigure could scarcely be meant

for erevhiea. An examination of Cramer's work proved that lie was
corre<*t, and that the figure referred to the form named T(vniovampa
retfeUt by Mr. Morrison. A very closely allied form has been described
in SynedoUla by Mr. Orote, and it is not improbable that Mr. Edwards'
genus may have to give phice to Walker's CisHma.
Mr. Slingerland's work has not yet appeared at date of writing,
hence could not be specifically referred to.

of the uniform Teeniocampa red-brown ; but with the typical Synedoid
median lines pale marked. It strongly resembles some of the species
of Synedoida. Twniocampa vegeta Morr., must be compared with this

With this genus begins a series of forms similar in appearance and
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
qf si)ecie8 when they are once well known. In many cases the sexes
are extremely dissimilar and have been described as separate species.

Mr. Moes(!hler's i)aper, above cited, should be referred to for the
rather involved synonymy of the species, grounded in a very curious

have not seen any such specimens as he sent me, from our territory.

Genus CATOCALA Schrank.
1802. Schrank, Fauna Boica, ii, 2, 158.
In this genus I have made no original studies and no comparisons.
The 8i)ecie8 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. Hulst has given a monographic revision in the Bulletin of the
Brooklyn Entomological Society, vii, 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 curv-
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 Colh'ge
collection. Mr. Grote and Mr. Edwards have both examined the
British Museum collectiou, and their references are probably accurate.

Dr. I lulst < ites this species, as well as amasia f Grt., to :ancta, perhnps
not justly. There is really no evidence that Guenee intended the
amasiaty iiinl, indeed, Dr. Hulst says the description does not fit. It
should not therefore be cited ixa a synonym to nancta, which it must
otherwise replace. Guenee's species based on Abbot's figures have
been univowsally accepted, and if the figures are still in existence there
is no reason why positive knowledge should not be yet obtainable.

Catocala adultera Hinzo, recorded by Motschulsky in his Etudes,

The Guen^e and Walker types are in the British Museum. Mr.
Grote's type I have not seen; but have seon a number of .s])(H'iineiis
named by him. Walker's species was desii^ibed without locality and
in such a way as to be not readily rciiogiii/.ablo. As FagUana has only
the one species, it niust be used in preference to Mr. Grote's generic
term, under the rules. On the location of the genus I express no
opinion. Guence 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 ditterences between
CcUptera, Phurys, and some species of PoaphiUi are «lifticult to make
out; but I have in most cases left matteis as they were, since any
changes here coidd 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 spe<*i
mens of both the above species, apparently named by (Jiu«'nee and
agreeing with his description. They are closely allied ; but in vinculum
the orbicular is present and the snbterminal dotted line is distinct.
The vinculum of the Grote collection and of American collections gen-
erally is the herbarum of Guen^e according to these specimens, and I
have accordingly cited hi/asciata Bates to this species. Mr. Bates re-
ferred his 8i)ecies to vinculum on my authority, and what I knew as
vinculum was what Mr. Grote had so named.

Types of Guenee's species are in both the London and Paris Museums,
and are like the type of obsolcta in the liritish JVIuseuni. Mr. Grote
based his name obsoleta on what he identilled as Guenee's var. «, of P.
quadrifilaris, and misidentliied 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.

The type is probably in the Oberthiir collection. In the Jardin des

very like erasa in habitus and maculation and seems to differ only in
the much paler ground color. It is much paler than the herbieola of
the Grote collection; but it is not at all unlikely that intermediate
sjiecimens will be found and that herbieola is a washed-out erasa,

The type of rubricosta is probably with M. Oberthiir. I ha\'c not .seen
it. The type of cressoni I have not seen, nor do I know of its present
whereabouts. The type of carneicosta is in the Jardin des Plantes,
where I have seen it. It is the form in which the ordinary spots are
black and distinct. The Walker types are in the British Museum nnd
are both referable here. Roseicosta Gn., was described after a drawing
by Abbot, and Gueuee himself suspected its identity with ruhricostu.
1 have not seen this figure, but do not doubt that the species belou ^s

form with a rusty nuiculation on a bright yellow gnmnd. Tiie type of
floeealiH is in the Museum at Cambridge, where I have compared it with

(iuen<''e himself suggested the identity of his pha'nHn with Inhricalh;
but, as Cieyer recorded his species from Java, he kept his ownspecitic
term. Some other of Geyer's " Java" species are American, and I be-
lieve Mr. Grote was corre(!t in making Guence's suggestion a positive
reference. The tyi)e of surrectal in is in the British Museum and is cor-
rectly referred by Mr. Grote. My types are in the ^National Museum

The type of moUifera is in the British Museum and is correctly re-
ferred. Mr. Grote has placed Hormisa abnorptalis to this same foz-ni ;
but this is an error: it is really Litognatha nuhUifa»cia. The types of
effuHalin and coneisa are in the collection of the Kntoinolopcal Society
of Ontario, and these have been positivt'ly referred to wniula hy Mr.
Grote. The type of herminioides , from the same collection, was re-
ferred to Epizeuxin by Mr. Grote. If this generic reference is correct,
the description will apply to aimitla rather than americalw^ and 1 have
so referred the species.

Both ty])es are in the British Museum. Mr. Grote refers obHorptaliH
to Epizntxia wmula, and at first sight this api)ears correct, from the
rubbed condition of the specimen; but more careful comparisons show
that the species named by Mr. Grote nubiHfa»cia is represented. The
present species is fairly to be considered the type of Hormisa, and must
replace TAtognatha, which has the same type. A tyiie of nubiU/ascia is

(Juen^e's types are probably with IVf. Oberthiir. The Walker typos
are in the British Museum. They agree with each otlier and with the
specimens identified by Mr. Orote as disvoloralis. Walker did not really
recognize Guen^e's genus and described a number of species belonging
to it under Hermiuia and Hypcna. Curiously enough, nearly all of
Walker's Deltoids can be recognized from the description. 1 tried to
recognize the species before I exi)ected to have the chance to study
them autoptically, and in every ca«e my identification proved coriect.
Under /flWactfl7»«, Walker's first specimen from which the description
was drawn is discoloralis, while the others are brevirogtralis.

Types are in the collection American Entomological Society and in
the British Museum. This seems to me only a larger and paler form
of reatrictalis. The palpal characters pointed out by Mr. Grote are
evanescent, I believe; but it will require further study to state this
positively.

Walker's type is in the British Museum. Types of the Grote species
are in the collection of the American Entomological Society and in the
British Museum. From a specimen named by Walker in the D'Urban
collection, Mr. Grote referred this name to Bleptina caradrinalia (Can.
Ent., IX, 29). It is probable that this is only a small, dark form of
8obrialis {reatrictalia).

ZcUer suspect e<l that he migiit be rcdcscribing Clucncc's .species, and
Mr. Grote at once discovered that it was what he had identitied as
such, and referred Zeller's name to the synonymy. Later he restored
the name, and has continued to use it as well as matlefavtalis 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.

A specimen labeled humuH is in the Harris collection at the Boston
Society of Natural History, and is presumably a type. The t;j'pe 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 ty])e of
olivacea, which scarcely deserves a varietal name. The type of albo-
punctata is in the Tepper collection, an«l is a very dark, almost black,
form from Washington. But for a very large series from widely diver-
gent localities I would have considered this Pacific coast form specifi-
cally distinct. A series from British Columbia recently received places
the relationship beyond reasonable doubt.

Of the other American species referred to Hypena by Walker, ff.
rvfinalis is Crambm ahtrwtelltis Wlk., and H. cacaliH is Scoparia cen-
Uiriella. The comparisons for the specific determination of these in-

The type of the Walker species is in the British Musenm. Both the
Grote types are in the collection of the American Entomological
Hociety. I ose Walker's generic term in pref(6rence to Tortricodeti,
used in my list of Lepidoptera, because the South American species
seen by me resemble our species less than the generic description
would indicate.
