297. Pyrausta purpuralis; r — I have one specimen of this insect, 



captm^ed on my window on the morning of August 22,

298. P. ostrinalis, captured while flying in the sunshine on a 



rocky face, at an elevation of 550 feet, on June 17, 1872. 

 Surely these are different insects. There is no mint near 

 where the latter was taken. The size, shape, colour, 

 markings, and habitat are totally different.
