THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 13 



in doubt as to whether my previous identification of plicatus 

 — made on unsound evidence — was correct, and for the present 

 I provisionally accept hidstii ag distinct. It occurs in Canada, 

 and stands in most collections as plicatus. 



Anytus Grt. The species previously referred to Fishea Grt., as 

 well as to Anytus, 'are included under this generic name. 

 Hanhami Smith, described from Vancouver Island, stands as 

 a var. of evelina French. Discors Grote, identified by Smith 

 as a Luperina near hiirgessi, is now referred to this genus, 

 with vinela Smith as a synony:n. 



Next comes cupola, a species described by Hampson from 

 specimens sent him by the writer from Utah. Then follow, 

 in this order, yosemitoe Grt., enthea Grt., instruta Sm., (syn» 

 derelicta Hamp.), exhilarata Sm. and hetsia Sm. Exhilarata 

 I have referred elsewhere to yosemitoe, and Smith ( in litt.) 

 concurred. It is not clear why they are here separated by 

 the other names. Derelicta, from Aweme, seems correctly 

 referred to instruta from De Claire, both Manitoba localities. 

 This species is yosemitce of previous lists, though this reference 

 is not given. It is unquestionably very close to enthea, and 

 may prove to be a pale form of it. Betsia, which I have 

 from the type locality in Utah, is very likely a pale form of 

 either yosemitoe or instruta, which are very close allies. 



Matuta Grt. {Adelphagrotis Sm.) Apposita should not, stand be- 

 tween stellaris and quarta, which are more nearly related to 

 one another than apposita is to either. 



Khynchagrotis Sm. Not much revision of the list of these species 

 has been attempted by the authors. The genus is, if possible, 

 a more difficult one than Eiixoa,dind until many of them have 

 been bred, it is perhaps as well to leave the names about as 

 they stand. 



Scotogramma Sm. Trifolii is referred here, as per Hampson. 

 Mutata, described by me under Mamestra as an ally of trifoliir 

 also stands under this genus. Hampson has placed it in the 

 collection under Cardepia as an ally of nova Smith. I accept 

 his generic reference, though superficially the resemblance is
