Grote collection, and which I had never before seen. It has a pecu- 

 liarly elongate, narrow, silver-margined spot, extending to the t. p. line 

 at the sinus. It seems really more southern in type. The specimen is 

 without locality, bought in the Milne collection, and is quite as likely 

 to be Australian as American.

The type of alticola is probably in the British Museum. I have no 

 type mark to the name in my notes, and cannot now remember whether 

 the specimens seen were not from the Grote collection. The type 

 of ignea should be in the collection of the American Entomological 

 Society; but 1 have not been able to find it there.

I have not given all the European bibliography. It is possible that 

 Hiibner's term Syngrapha may supersede Caloplusia; but I can not now 

 compare the Verzeichuiss to ascertain the type of the genus. It differs 

 from Plusia in the narrow, ovate eyes, the spinose tibiae, and aiiarti- 

 form habitus.
