Lcpitlomys irrenona Gn., n, 202, pi. x, f. 1, is usually placed here, but 

 is certainly not North American. The type is in the British Museum. 

 M. Guenee gave New York as the locality; but nothing on the speci- 

 men itself ^nor in the record indicates where it really came from; it has 

 the Doubleday label and that is all. The insect itself is very peculiar; 

 it has a thick truncated tuft of hair at the base of primaries; the palpi 

 like Pleonectyptera and altogether it has the look of a tropical species. I 

 do not believe for an instant that it came from New York, and prefer to 

 drop it from our lists as not of our fauna, until the contrary is proved 

 by new specimens.
