THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 121 



Apamea veiata, Wlk., C. B. M., Lep. Het., XXXII., 671, 1865. 



The type is in unusually good condition, bears Walker's label, and is 

 Apamea sera, G. & R., (Tr. A. E. S., I., 345, pi. 7., f. 5). The species 

 must be known in future as Apamea velata, Wlk., and sera cited as a 

 synonym. 



Apamea rubrescens, Wlk., C. B. M., Lep. Het., XXXII. , 671, 1865. 



The type, bearing Walker's label, is in very good condition, and is 

 the species recently described by myself as Tceniocampa venata, (Ent. 

 Amer., VI., 123, 1890). The species will be known in future as Tcenio- 

 campa rtibrescejis, to which venata. Smith, must be cited as a. synonym. 

 I should be delighted to refer all the species described by me as synonyms, 

 could I thereby identify an equal number of the Walker species. 



Apamea, n. sp. 



A specimen bearing this label, in Mr. Walker's handwriting, is 

 Parastichtis perbelUs, Grt. 



Caradrina multifera, Wlk. 



A specimen named by Walker, but bearing a label in Dr. Bethune's 

 handwriting, is also Parastichtis perbellis, Grt. The specimen is not the 

 type, and is an evident misidentification. 



Xylina signata, Wlk. 



The specimen bearing the label in Mr. Walker's handwriting is 

 Dasylophia interna. Pack., and is not the type. 



HeliotJiis binotata, Wlk. 



A specimen of Piusia aereoides, Grt., is so labelled, but I cannot find 

 any description of the species. 



Heliothis tetnperata, Wlk. 



This label, in Mr. Walker's handwriting, is attached to a specimen of 

 Piusia aerea, Hbn.; but as in the case of the preceding, I cannot find 

 that the name has been sanctioned by a description. 



Bryophila, sp. 



A specimen of Acronycta hamamelis, Gn., is so labelled by Mr. 

 Walker. 



Altogether this little lot of insects, while disposing of a few unidenti- 

 fied names, illustrates well the character of Mr. Walker's work. None of 

 these names could have been with any degree of certainty applied from 

 the descriptions to the species really intended, and the generic references 

 are as often misleading as an assistance.
