258 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



132. Blanda, cited, I believe, wrongly under Afetaiepsis, is repeated 

 in the right place on page 178 under Psei-idoglaea. It should be 

 struck out here. 



138. Prof. Smith is responsible for the confusion in the name of this 

 common species. Subgothica of Stephens is = jaculifera, Guen. 

 The original subgothica of Haworth is claimed as British by 

 Tutt. In the meantime Slingerland says subgothica of Haworth is 

 tricosa, Lintner. My original determination should not iiave been 

 altered. But whether jaculifera, Guen., tricosa, Linlner, and 

 heriiis, Grote, which I still claim as the correct scientific names for 

 the three forms (leaving out Haworth's variously interpreted name 

 entirely, for the sake of clearness and precision) are distinct 

 species and not forms of one, seems not definitely known. 



140. The new name Paragrotis is unnecessary. Carnendes being 

 preoccupied, the genus should be called F/eotiectopoda, with the 

 type Lewisi, which has in any way priority. In the meantime I 

 cannot but believe the genus must be represented in Europe, and 

 that some Hiibnerian name will eventually be found for it. Others 

 of our American names at expense of Agrotis, Lederer, may be 

 found in the same case. 



149. It should be aratrix, not ''atratrix.'" 



150. From photographs and descriptions, I cannot believe that Prof. 

 Smith's profundus and obscurus are distinct species from our 

 eastern Anytus sculptus. 



154. At length the dispute as to comis is decided in my favour, and 

 the type is therefore not "like typical olivacea, but so spread that 

 the insect appears more pluniii, shorter winged and differently 

 marked"! It now appears that after having disposed of my species 

 in this manner. Prof Smith has redescribed the form or species five 

 times, thus affording ample proof of the incorrectness of the 

 original statement. Time, as Mr. Strecker used to say, at length 

 sets all things even. 



157. Instead of Neuronia (preocc.) it would appear that Epineuronia, 

 Rebel, should be used for No. 1883. 



167. The term Acerra with the type twrmalis should be used here 

 as being more correct and also earlier published than Streichia, 

 described as a notodont, and which I regard as a synonym of
