CATALOGUE OF NOCTUIDvK SMITH. 1 i'.l 



P. flavidens Grt. 

 1879. Crt.. Bull. Geol. Snrv., v, 205, Pwudumo-td. 



HABITAT. Colorado in September; New Mexico. 

 The type is in the British Museum. 



. aurea Grt. 



1879. Grt., Bull. Geol. Surv., v, 20r>. 



18S2. Grt., Can. Ent., xiv, 19, I'seitdanarta. 



1889. Smith. Ent. Anier., v, 177, Psemlanarta. 



HABITAT. Southern Texas. 



The type is in the British Museum and is a Heliothid, I think. It 

 most resembles Mcliclc/tlria, and has the anterior tibia armed with a 

 claw. I could not decide positively from the specimen where it best 

 belonged and leave the species in the present genus until more material 

 is at hand. It was unknown to me in 1889. 



P. falcata Xcum. 



1883. Xt-mn., Papilio, in, 141, Pseudanarta. 

 1889. .Smith, Ent. Anier., v, 176, Pseudanai'la. 



HABITAT. Arizona, Fort Huachuca. 



The type is in theNeunm-gen collection. I have had a recent cliance 

 to examine it, and find it a Heliothid, probably best referred to Pseu- 

 clautha'ci<i. The material is too scant for positive reference and I leave 

 it here with the probabilities indicated. 



Genus OLIG-IA Him. 

 1816. Hbu., Verzeicliniss. 404. 



A revision of the species of this genus will be found inEntomologica 

 Americana, 1889, v, 145. The separation of the species there accords 

 with the types so far as I have seen them, except where otherwise 

 mentioned. 



O. festivoides Gn.* 



1852. Gil., Spec. Geu., Noct., i, 220, Ci-lfena. 



1856. Wlk., C. B. Mus., Het., x, 261, Ccla-iia. 

 1881. Grt., Bull. Geol. Surv., v, 261, Ol'ujia.

1857. Wlk., C. B. Mus., Het., xu, 808, Enmiria. 

 c< /iludica Grt. MSS. 



1891. Butler, Entomologist, xxiv, 241, pr. syn. 



HABITAT. Canada to Florida to Texas, west to Nebraska; Texas 

 in March, April, and August; New York in May. 



All the types are in the British Museum. Mr. Grote's name was 

 never published, and would not have been cited here, but for Mr. But- 

 ler's note. Erastria varia is a well-defined specimen of this species.
