CORRECTIONS AND NOTES ON DR. DYAR'S LIST OF 



NOCTUIDS.— II. . 



BY A. RADCLIFFE GROTE, HILDESHEIM, GERMANY. 



Page 99. Apatela. As might have been expected from the incon- 

 spicuous markings and uniform gray colour of the moths, the identifications 

 of species of Acronyda, described by Walker and Guenee, have proved 

 difficult and often contradictory. I am now inclintd to waive all objec- 

 tions and accept Dr. Dyar's list as it stands. The only point I make is, 

 the difficulty I have in believing that, having identified xylhii/ormis, 

 Guen., already and originally for Riley, I should have redescribed 

 specimens at a later period a.^paiiidico»ia; it seems to me yet possible that 

 two forms are here "mixed up," although I know xyLniforniis to be 

 inconstant. 



106. Fragilis having been transferred to Apatela^ dipliteroides 

 becomes type of Microcoelia. Guene'e writes Diphtera, following 

 Ochsenheimer. Hiibner originally wrote Diphthera, which is 

 the correct Greek form. 



107. The generic term should read " Cyathissa" not " Cyathisa.^' 



112. This genus should be called Monodes, Guen., type jiucicolora 

 (r. nucicolor) ; the type of Oligia being st?-igi/is. 



113. Crasia, Auriv., 1891, Stand, and Rebel, 295, is a synonym of 

 Ilillia, (irote, 1S83. According to the European catalogue iris, 

 Zeit., is an older name for the variable species. 



\2\. The genus is '^ Afomaphana," not " Moinophana." 



120. No. 1267. The name illepida should be preferred, since the 



type of divirsilineata had patclud wings and the species is 



irrecognizable from this description, and the identification of the 



type uncertain. 

 124. As I have shown in these pages, the citation to Pseudanarta of 



Hy. Edwards is spurious. There is no such name 'in Proc, Cal. 



Acad. Sci., Pac. Coast, Le[)., Nos. i to 22.
