HABITAT. Texas; ''East Florida," March, April. 



The types of all the names are in the British Museum. The locality 

 "East Florida," is rather dubious, for I have not known of any save 

 Texan species heretofore. 



M. loiigiclava Smith.

HABITAT. Colorado. 



The type is with Mr. Neumregen. 



M. anguina Grt.* 

 1881. Grt., Can. Eut., xm, 129, Mamestra. 



HABITAT. Maine; New Jersey; Illinois; Nebraska; Colorado. 

 The type is in the British Museum.

HABITAT. Maine to Texas, to California; June to October. 



The types of mcina and acutipennis are in the British Museum; that 

 of teligera is in the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Cambridge. 

 The type of acutipennis is somewhat more than usually powdery; but 

 else I find no difference from mcina. The specimen is badly set, giving 

 the wings a peculiarly pointed appearance, which apparently sug- 

 gested Mr. Grote's name.

 August, September, October, November. 



M. ferrealis Grt.

HABITAT. Montan a. 



I have no idea where the type of this species could be found, and have 

 not recognized it as yet.
