CATALOGUE OF NOCTUIDJE SMITH. 2G3 



S. navium Harv.* 



1875. ITarv., Bull. Bnff. Soc. Nat. Sci., in, 10, Telesilla navia. 



1883. Grt., Can. Ent., xv, 131, Telesilla. 



1891. Smith, Trans. Am. Ent. Soc., xvni, 111, Stibadium. 



HABITAT. Texas in May. 



The type is in the British Museum, and is like the specimens I have 

 seen so named. The type shows, distinctly enough, all the structural 

 characters of the present genus, and only the superficial habitus of 

 Telesilla. 



Genus PLAGIOMIMICUS Grt. 

 1873. Grt., Bull. Buff. Soc. Nat. Sci., i, 182. 



The relation of the three preceding to the present genus can not be 

 considered as settled. In the Bull. Bklu. Ent. Soc,, v, 30, I had united 

 them all as Basilodes, which is perhaps too radical a procedure. As 

 new species have been and will be added, the relations will become 

 more clear. Some of the species of Plusia will find a place here I think, 

 and perhaps some other species elsewhere referred at present.
