 Massachusetts in August; New Jersey in May ; Texas in November; 

 Kansas. 



The synonymy above is that given by Gueuee and after him by 

 Walker. The latter questions oo Cramer, as the same, but Guenee 

 seems to consider that Cramer had two species under that name, 

 and cites figure E only to this form. Walker makes this the omicrott 

 of Hiibner, uec Linnaeus.

In the British Museum are types of Jiamifera and (iyaux, and these are 

 unquestionably alike. There are also specimens of di/atix under pre- 

 cationis Wlk.; but there are no specimens of rogationix under the label. 

 In the Berliner Museum, however, is a series of South American speci- 

 mens marked rogationis Gn., and among them is a specimen from Boll, 

 Texas, exactly like dyaus. Guenee mentions his species as from divers 

 collections, not rare, and gives " Am. Sept." as one of the localities. 

 His comparative description applies perfectly, and though I have not 

 seen absolute types, I make no doubt the Berlin specimens are correctly 

 named and that dyaus Grt., is the same species. Jiamifera is recorded 

 from Brazil and Venezuela, covering thus the localities given by 

 Guenee.
