AGROTIS. 285 
an unknown locality. A. ignicans is closely allied to A. incivis, and I think it quite 
possible that upon receipt of more specimens they will prove to be forms of one 
species.

Var. Agrotis introferens, Grote, List of North-American Moths, p. 24. 
Hab. Norra America, Colorado !2,—Mxxico, Northern Sonora (Morrison). 
We have received one specimen of this species from Sonora ; it does not differ from 
those from North America labelled A. agrestis in the Grote collection now in the 
National Museum. 
The above synonymy is taken from Grote’s Catalogues.
