THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 135 



Arctia dodgei, Butler. 

 1 88 1 — Butler, Ent. Mo. Mag. xviii., 135. 



This is a poor specimen o( phy//irai unworthy of even varietal rank. 

 Mr. Butler suggested that this might be the Mexican representative of 

 phyllira, though the specimen bore no locality label ; but it is Drury's 

 species itself, and not a representative of it. 



Aiitarctia walsinghami, Butler. 

 1881 — Butler, Ann. and Mag. N. H. ser. 5, viii., 311. 

 This is a strongly marked, deeply tinted rubra, perhaps worthy a 

 varietal rank. The Museum specimen of rubra is almost as far from the 

 normal type in one direction as the type of walsinghami is in another. 



Acherdoa, Wlk. 



1865 — Walk., Cat. Lep. Brit. Mus., Het. xxxii., 451. 

 A, ferraria, Wlk. 



1865 — Wlk., Cat. Lep. Brit. Mus., Het. xxxii., 452. 



This is the Farina oriiata of Mr. Neumoegen, Papilio iv., 94. 



Among the Abbot drawings in the Museum is an excellent figure of 

 this species, noted as " Taken 27th March flying at night in a swamp near 

 Savannah River. The only one I have met with." It is probable, from 

 the close correspondence of the figure with the Walker type, that the 

 latter is the original of the drawing. According to Mr. Kirby some of 

 the Abbot specimens are in the British Museum, and doubtless this is one 

 of them. 



Bellura gortynoides, Wlk. 



Described as an ally of Datana, but is a noctuid, and is an earlier name 

 for Arzama densa, the generic term also being earlier than Arzattta. 

 Hat una setnirti/escens, Wlk. 



1865— Wlk., Cat. Lep. Brit. Mus., Het. xxxii., 450. 



This is Schizura unicornis^ A. & S. In the Trans. Am. Ent. Soc, ii., 

 86, Messrs. Grote and Robinson cite Edema semirufescens, Wlk., xxxii., 

 424, to u7iicornis, and this species with the same specific, but other generic 

 designation is referable to the same form. 



Psaphidia reswnens, Wlk., placed near Edema, is a noctuid, and is 

 Dicopis viridescens, Wlk., = D. muralis, Grt. 

 Edema ? iransversata, Wlk. 



1865— Wlk., Cat Lep. Brit. Mus., Het. xxxii., 427. 



This is the same as E//ida gclida, Grt. In the Trans. Am. Ent.
