HABITAT. California. 



Types are in the Edwards collection and in the British Museum. 

 The Edwards specimen I had seen when I wrote in 1889, and the Mu- 

 seum specimen simply confirms my opinion. The anterior tibiae are as 

 in Melicleptria, shortened, with a single stout claw. The wings are 

 broad, trigonate, the head small, eyes ovate. I leave it here until a new 

 study of the Heliothid series brings it into a more natural relationship.

HABITAT. Oregon ; Colorado. 



The type is in the British Museum. It is a robust, xyliuoid form 

 with retracted head and short tongue, and has the appearance of Scoto- 

 chrosta. The markings are strigate as in the Cuculliid series and it is 

 a rather near ally of my Pleroma, I think. It seems a little out of place- 

 here; but until the material can be critically studied it had better be 

 left as it is. Mr. Bruce has recently sent me a specimen from Colo- 

 rado, which agrees fairly well with the type.
