CATALOGUE OF NOCTUID.E SMITH. 93 



C. moerens Grt. 





1883. Grt., Can. Ent., xv, 4, Carneades. 

 1883. Grt.. Papilio, in, 30, Carneades. 



HABITAT. Arizona. 



The type is in Mr. Neumosgen's collection. 



C. dolis Grt. 



1880. Grt., No. Am. Ent., i, 91, A gratis. 



1889. Butler, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1889, 381,=C/era birivia. 



HABITAT. Colorado. 



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

 Museum is somewhat more maculate; but seems to be the same. Mr. 

 Butler refers it to Cliera birivia, Hbn., arid I can not myself find any 

 obvious differences between them. Birivia is an alpine species, and I 

 am not ready to believe, without the most critical comparison, that the 

 two are identical, though superficially they seem alike. I have there- 

 fore retained Mr. Grote's name for the present. If Chcra has as type 

 this species, it will have to replace Carneades. Mr. Grote's specimen 



has no locality. 



C. scandens Riley.* 



1869. Riley, 1st Kept. Ins. Mo., 76, pi. i, f. 5, 7, Agrotis. 



1874. Riley, 6th Rept. Ins. Mo., 6, Agrotis.

1882. Riley, Papilio, n, 43, an sp. disfc. 



1883. Saund., Fruit Insects, 107, f. 105, Agrotis. 



HABITAT. East of Bocky Mountains j Colorado; Northern States in 



June. 



The type is in the National Museum. A correctly named specimen 

 from the Grote collection is in the British Museum, and I can not un- 

 derstand how Mr. Grote ever saw any resemblance to either murccnula 



or messoria. 



C. detesta Smith. 



choris t Smith. 

 1800. Smith, Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus., No. 38, 158, Carneades. 



HABITAT. Colorado. 



I have mistaken Dr. Harvey's species, as appears by the type in the 

 British Museum, and I propose the name detesta for the species I have 

 described in my revision under the term choris. 



C. remota Smith. 



1890. Smith, Trans. Am. Ent. Soc., xvn, 48, Agrotis. 

 HABITAT. Sierra Nevada, California; Colorado. 

 The type is in the Edwards collection.
