Dayi and mirificalis), while other authors have added four ; our most 

 beautiful Eastern form being the atrifasciata of Mr. Morrison, which I 

 refer to this genus, it being related apparently to the grey forms, such as 

 Chandler i^ riparitx, etc., the median space filled with black. I refer two 

 Western species to the European genus Valeria, opina and conserta, and 

 one Eastern species, stigmata, to the European genus Dryobota. Peculiar 

 American Hadenoid genera, with, naked eyes, seem to be Arthrochlora^ 

 Hillia, Hoinohadena, Pachypolia and Hadeiiclla. The typical genus, 

 Hadena itself,seems to have a parallel representation in North America with 

 the other leading genera Apatela, Agrotis and Mamestra, from which latter 

 genus the species differ in having naked eyes. It offers both identical and 

 representative species with the European forms, and again an excess in 

 number, over sixty to over forty. The related genus Hyppa with its one 

 European species has a representative American ioxviixylinoides. I have 

 identified the European Dipterygia pinastri as occurring in North Am- 

 erica ; whether this is a survival, or a more recent importation, is doubtful, 

 perhaps the latter. Of the European genus Actiiiotia, we have two 

 species ; of Callopistria, one. A strong analogy of the two fauna; is 

 offered by the genera clustering about Euplexia, the single species of which 

 latter, lucipara, is found from the East to California, and is apparently an 

 unchanged survival and identical with the European ; I have found the 

 larvte on a number of plants, among them the common Fuchsia. These 

 genera are Trigonophora, and Brotolomia, each with representative Am- 

 erican forms, while the European genus Habryiitis is perhaps not found 

 in America, nor, conversely, the American genus Conservula in Europe, 

 Prodeiiia, which has one European, has at least four North American 

 species. This genus is a Southern form, intruding into the European 

 fauna from the Mediterranean and Asia Minor ; in America, more plenti- 

 ful in the Southern States, where an allied form, the Laphygma frugipcrda 

 of Abbot and Smith, is destructive to CQrn, We have nothing like the 

 wide-winged European Matiia tnatira, so far as my knowledge goes. The 

 determination of what species is the real type of the earlier genera of 

 Ochsenheimer and other authors is a matter of some difficulty, owing to 

 the fact that the species were loosely associated, and the characters we to- 

 day consider of importance neglected. Not a single species included by 

 Boisduval in 1829 under Ltiperina is placed under Luperi?ia by Lederer, 

 The true type of Luperina may, I think, be considered to be the Euro-
