'212 BULLETIN 44, UMTED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. 



HABITAT. Southern United States."? 



Dr. Kiley questions Mr. Grote's identification of this species, and calls 

 < -Mr American form tc.vana. He is probably correct in this; but as I 

 have not studied the question, I give the bibliography necessary to put 

 the student on the track.

HABITAT. Texas; Southern United States. 



Dr. Kiley proposes this name to replace exficia Grt., not Hiibner. 

 The figure given is excellent, and leaves no doubt as to the species 

 intended. The types are in the National Museum.

HABITAT. Gulf States; West Indies; Venezuela. 



Luridula Gn., and derogttta Wlk., based on typical specimens in the 

 British Museum, are one species. There is not even the varietal 

 difference between them that Mr. Butler seems to suspect, unless very 

 slight difference in inaculation makes a variety. Under that defini- 

 tion almost every specimen would be a variety, so I can not quite un- 

 derstand what Mr. Butler's remark (I. c., p. 13) was intended to mean.

The types are in the British Museum. The species is much more 

 common in Central and South America, and probably only occasional in 

 the Southern United States. Mr. Butler would see in this the true 

 AI<-ti <ir<jU1<ura of Hiibner, and so cites it in the Entomologist, /. r. 

 Niipra. I do not follow Mr. Butler's references to illita Gn., because 1 

 believe that to be another species. One of the types is in the Jardin des 

 plantes in Paris, while none is in the BritisliMuscum. I did not directly 

 compare the specimens, but GueneVs species looked different. I dq 

 know that the synonymy above is correct as far as it goes,
