TYPES IN THE NEUMOEGEN COLLECTION. 



WITH A FEW NOTES THEREON. 



By Dr. RODRIGUES OTTOLENGUI. 



Litssa nigroguttata $ Grt. Florida. 



Tricholita inconspicua <$ Grt. Arizona, Doll. 



Tricholita completa $ ( 9 ) Grt. Arizona, Doll. 



Nonagria permagna 9 Grt. Florida. 



Fofa armata 9 (c?9) Grt. Arizona, Morrison. 



Fota uiinorata cf ( 9 ) Grt. Arizona, Morrison. 



Tapitiostola oricntalis 9 Grt. Maine. 

 Leucania bicolorata cT ( 9 ) Grt. Arizona, Doll. 

 Leucania stolata 9 Smith. Arizona, Doll. 



This specimen is rich in " type labels." One is in handwriting 

 of Mr. Grote, and one in the chirography of Prof. Smith. The 

 explanation is that Mr. Grote named and labeled the specimen, 

 but appears not to have published any description of it. Later 

 Prof. Smith described the species, but, to avoid possibility of 

 synonymy, adopted the name selected by Mr. Grote. 



Leucania far eta, var. roseola $ Smith. British Columbia. 

 Leucania imperfecta $ Smith. Arizona. 

 Ufeus Sagittarius $ Grt. California. 

 Eucalyptera obscura <$ Grt. Arizona. 

 Adipsophanes terminellus $ Grt. Texas. 

 Adipsophanes egestis 9 Smith. Arizona, Doll. 



Again we have type labels from both Mr. Grote and Prof. 

 Smith, and here also Prof. Smith has courteously adopted Mr. 

 Crete's name for a species which he had not described. 

 Patella notalis tf Grt. Arizona, Doll. 

 Caradrina fragosa $ Grt. Arizona, Doll. 

 Caradrina civica tf 9 Grt. New Mexico. 

 Pyrophila triquetra 9 Grt. Arizona, Doll. 

 Orthodes nifens tf 9 Grt. Maine. 



This is a synonym of enervis Gn. 

 Orthodes virgula <$ $ Grt. Arizona, Doll. 

 Orthodes irrurata c? ( 9 9) Smith. California. 



This specimen bears a printed type label, but there is none in 

 handwriting of Prof. Smith. In my opinion all types should be 

 labeled by those who describe the species. However, in Prof. 

 Smith's Catalogue of the Noctuidae, a note in connection with 

 this species reads: "Types are in the Graef, Neumoegen and 

 Edwards collections." 

 Stretchia variabilis <$ 9 Smith. Colorado, Bruce.
