238 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



A small box v/as mailed to me at Bremen by the late Mr. Hill, from 

 Albany. As I remember, it contained, among the few specimens, the 

 types of Hepialus auratus {Sthefiopis, Cat. p. 580) and Rhewnaptera 

 immediata (3404 Cat., marked with a star and type stated to be " loot "). 

 The contents of the box were deposited in the Bremen Museum for 

 preservation. 



In Dr. Dyar's list of Noctuids, I notice the following double names : 

 The specimens identified as 2249 sericea, are probably 2253 veiiustula. 

 What sericea is, is not known ; the erroneous determination came from 

 Albany. No. 2134 and No. 2143 I considered identical. No. 2201 

 should be referred as synonymous with No. 2223. The original name was 

 changed by the authors. 



2473. Formosa is type of Chrysanympha, Grote, Proc. Am. Phil. 



Soc, 417, 1895. I cannot regard this as congeric with moneta, 



which is type of Polychrysia, Hubn. (Grote, id.). But I may be 



wrong. 



2475. '^reoides, not '■' ceroides^'; this mistake is copied from Smith, 



Wash. Cat. 247. 

 2479. Festticce is type of C/irysaspidia, Hubn. Verz. (Grote, id.), and 

 illistris is type of Euc/ia/cia, which latter term is therefore here 

 wrongly employed, and should be dropped. Speyer, Staudinger 

 and myself agree that Putnami is not a race of festucce, but a dis- 

 tinct species, and it appears to be also Asiatic in its range (Stand, 

 and Rebel Cat. 2547, p. 237). 

 2489. Egena : the identification of this species from Florida, given 

 in Smith's List, p. 251, Can. Ent., XV., 26, should have been 

 cited. 

 2493. The identification oi fratella with on is incorrect, as stated 

 by Smith, Wash. List, p. 252. The two are distinct species, in 

 my opinion. Any confusion between them seems to arise from 

 a wrong identification of Guenee's species. 

 On page 206 of Dr. Dyar's List, the genera, Oxycilla tripla and 

 Zelicodes lifiearis, Proc. Am. Phil. Soc, I.e., 1895, are omitted. Linearis 

 is wrongly cited under '' Hortnisa" No. 3033. Of this . species Prof. 

 Smith has written that it does not belong to Litognatha, and is not a 

 Deltoid at all. Types of these two species are in coll. Neumogen, where 

 Dr. Dyar examined them for me, I.e., p. 418. 



Mailed August 1st, 1903.
