Anomis erosa, 19, fig. 287-288. 



" Savannah." I have identified this species from specimens taken in 

 Georgia and Alabama. Hiibner figures the variety in which the wings are 

 orange except the s. t. space. Usually they are terminally darker shaded. 

 The species is compared with A. exacta, by Hiibner. Mr. Thaxter caught 

 this species in Jamaica, W. I. 



Eulepidoiis alabastraria, 22, fig. 31 1-3 12. 



" Savannah." Hiibner considers the insect a Geometer. It seems to 

 me that his figure represents a Noctuid related to Palindia. 



B rot is vulneraria, 23, fig. 319-320. 



" Bahia." I have identified this species from a specimen taken by 

 Prof. Hinsdale at Racine, Wisconsin. The species is probably an 

 occasional visitant with odora and zenobia, and does not breed within our 

 territory. Hubner considers it to be a Geometer, but, I think, incorrectly. 



Leucania albilinea, 25, fig. 337-338. 



" Buenos Ayres." Guenee' describes under this name our common 

 species Harveyi Grote. He says, Noct. 1, 89: " L'individu figure par 

 Hubner, eqiiil a recu du Bresil (?), est beaucoup plus fonce que le mien. 

 Serait-ce une espece distincte ? " I find that the costa is uneven in 

 Hubner's figure and also that the pale central shade is more continuous ; 

 the costal region is darker, there is no distinct black basal dash, the ter- 

 minal dark shading is not continued along the cell inferiorly. The division 

 of the blackish shades by a pale shading over median nervure is quite 

 characteristic of Harveyi, and the failure to give this in Hubner's figure 

 induces my belief that a South American species will be discovered 

 approaching nearer to Hubner's figure, for which reason I keep the 

 designation Harveyi for our N. Am. species. 



Eunetis ultronia, 26, fig. 347-348. 



" Pennsylvania." This is the species generally known as Catocala 

 ultronia.
