CATALOGUE OF NOCTUID^ SMITH. 133 



1882. Grt., 111. Essay, II, ]>r. syn. 



1889. Butler, Trans. Kiit. Soc. Loud., 1889, 386, pr. syn. 



HABITAT. Middle and Eastern States; North Carolina; New York

Walker's type is in the British Museum, and is this species of Hiib- 



ner's. 



X. separans Grt. 



1880. Grt., Bull. U. S. Geol. Surv., vi, 260, Hadena. 

 1890. Smith, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., xin, 425 = ducta. 



HABITAT. New York in June and July; Wisconsin. 



The type is in the British Museum. I find I had entirely mistaken this 

 species. It has nothing to do at all with ducta nor with the devastatrix 

 group, in fact, but belongs with the vultuosa series. It is a very close 

 ally in uiaculatiou to remissa, or yet nearer to the European (jemina, 

 but much darker and with all the pale markings wanting. The W- 

 mark in the s. t. line is distinct, the orbicular oblique, and there is a 

 broad dash between the ordinary lines. I can not at present remem- 

 ber where I obtained the specimens marked separans, which led to my 

 erroneous reference.

HABITAT. Canada to Texas; Colorado, August; New York, May, 

 June, July, September; Massachusetts in August. 



Mr. Grote has referred this species, the type of which is in the Tcp- 

 per collection, to illata Wlk.; but that species is really an Agrotid, as 

 described by Mr. Walker, and is the cinereomaculata form of turris. 

 There is a vague sort of resemblance between the species, but an 

 examination of the generic characters should have prevented the 

 reference.
