CATALOGUE OF NOCTUID.E SMITH. 87 



Mr. Grote, whicli is not the same species. Tlie iusect is from Tucson, 

 Ariz., and is from Mr. Neumosgen's collection. In that collection 

 are other specimens also labeled t<:rmi and from them I drew the 

 character for the species, in my revision. I had not been able at that 

 time to find the type in the Philadelphia collection; but a recent 

 systematic search discovered the specimens under a misleading- label. 

 Indeed, but for the fact that one of the specimens was obviously the 

 original of the figure above cited, they could not have been identified 

 with certainty at all. As it is, the ty|)e proves a Porosagrotis instead 

 of a CarneadeSj and the insect I described in my revision lacks a name. 

 The $ antennae are pectinated, secondaries white in the male, only a 

 little soiled in the female. The claviform is obvious. It is between 

 rileyi and orthogonia, differing obviously from either. The types have 

 no locality labels, and 1 have no information as to who collected them. 

 It is possible that it may prove more nearly related to my obcsula than 

 I now believe, when abundant material is at hand.
