CATALOGUE OF NOCTUIIXK - SMITH. 100 



Typos of species and variety arc in tlic British Museum. Mi-. Butler 

 suggests that these arc the same as the European Ayrnlis cii/irra and 

 claims to have typical ciiprca 1'rom 'Washington. It would take a great 

 deal of comparison to convince me of the correctness of this reference.

HABITAT. Canada in August; Eastern and Middle States; Colo- 

 rado; New York and New Hampshire, August and September. 



Types of privatus and scu^titN are in the British Museum, and Mr. 

 Butler is correct in uniting them. The type of pldiiu* is in the Hill 

 collection. 



Mr. Butler thinks this is much nearer to I'lifiro'trti, an Arctiid, than 

 to the Noctuida'. I do not know /'/mnr/m ; but I have no serious doubt 

 as to the correctness of the present location of Ani/lns.

HABITAT. North America; Massachusetts. 



The types are in the British Museum, and represent a species I had 

 never seen. I wonder whether Mr. Morrison really had this species be- 

 fore him when he wrote in 1874? I have seen specimens of At/rolls- 

 wortliingtoni labeled Jimln-inr'ts in Mr. Morrison's handwriting in the 

 National Museum and elsewhere, and the description given fits \vell to 

 what I have seen of that species. Unfortunately the wing form which
