CATALOGUE OF NOCTUID^E SMITH. 387 



HABITAT. Canada to Virginia; Central States; New York and Del- 

 aware, in July; District of Columbia, in August. 



Guene'e's types are probably with M. Obertlmr. The Walker types 

 are in the British Museum. They agree Avith each other and with the 

 specimens identified by Mr. Grote as discoloralis. Walker did not really 

 recognize Guene'e's genus and described a number of species belonging 

 to it under Herminia and Hypena. Curiously enough, nearly all of 

 Walker's Deltoids can be recognized from the description. I tried to 

 recognize the species before I expected to have the chance to study 

 them autoptically, and in every case my identification proved correct. 

 Under fallacialis, Walker's first specimen from which the description 

 was drawn is discoloralis, while the others are brevirostralis.

HABITAT. Eastern, Middle, and Central States; Alabama; Colo- 

 rado. 



Walker's type is in the British Museum. 



Types of the Grote species are in the collection of the American 

 Entomological Society and also in the British Museum. I could thus 

 compare the types of both species.

1873. Grt., Trans. Am. Ent. Soc., IV, 309, Renia. 



HABITAT. Middle States. 



I have not seen the type. It was probably in the collection at Phil- 

 adelphia, and has been destroyed. The specimens in the British Mu- 

 seum from the Grote collection agree with my identification of the 

 species.
