CATALOGUE OF NOCTUID.E SMITH. 83 



F. venerabilis Wlk.* 

 1856. Wlk., ('. B. Mus., Hot., X, 328, Ar/roti*. 



HABITAT. Canada; Uiiited States generally; New York in Septem- 

 ber; Texas in November; California and Colorado in October. 



The type is in the British Museum. Messrs. Grote and Eobinsou 

 in 1869 and Mr. Butler in 1880 referred Agrotis incallida Wlk., as a 

 synonym of the above. The type is a badly rubbed specimen ; but it 

 is undoubtedly Radena (Luperina) passer Gn., and not an A grotis at all.

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

 British Museum, and refer to the same species. Mr. Morrison's type 

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

 tion. I think it is in the Cambridge Museum. The type of agilis is with 

 Mr. Fletcher and does not refer to a distinct species. A specimen of 

 vancouverensis marked type is also in the Hy. Edwards collection.

 clodiana to vancourcrensis on the faith of specimens agreeing with Mr.
