THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 259 



Ferigrapha, Led. I am not agreed with tlie reference of muricina 

 \.o p/iisii/orttiis, hut I have no material of the former to compare. 



173. For Asteroscopus, Boisd. Bracliionyclia, Hiibn., should be 

 used ; see Staud. & Rebjl, p. 181, 1. c. 



177. Xanthia. The type is paleacea. According to Staud. & 

 Rebel, 207, the species cited as '■• //avago," No. 2199, should be 

 called hitea, Strom.; it belongs to Citria, Hiibn. From the photo- 

 graph /Z(t/^/i^//<? bel )ngs to Orthosia ; this specific name is too often 

 used. Ptcta is same as Orthosia enroa.* 



181. Morrison sent me apiata as '^G/cea, n. s.," Bull. B. S. N. S., 21 1, 

 1875. It was not type oi sericea which I noted, Bull. Brklyn Ent. 

 Soc, 37, 1880, but a s[)ec. of venustula so named. But Morrison's 

 original description cannot well apply to a Glcea at all, as elsewhere 

 shown by me. At any rate venustula is being called sericea. 



No. 2183. The authority should read Grote, not Grote & Robinson. 



2197. I regard a;/^///ti/rt ('^x/r/w^//^^ as a distinct species. 



Page 178. It is my fault that Trigonophora is here used. The genus 

 should be Habryntis, Lederer, 1857. I have a specimen of the 

 green H. scita, which shows an orange-brown tinting, and recalls 

 thus more nearly the American species. 



179. For '' Cosmia, Ochs," read Xanthia, Hiibn. 



No. 2222. I prefer ferruginoides for the species and bicolorago for 

 the variety, since this arrangement brings the forms into corre- 

 spondence with the original descriptions. It ought to make no 

 difference which stands first on Guenee's page. The important 

 point is, that the name is sustained by the original description, 

 which should always be looked up, and is the only basis and 

 warrant for the application of the name. 



2354. ^r<://"<?ra is a dimorphic $ form o{ Spraguei ; a similar varia- 

 tion is shown by brevis and atrites. I figure both sexes of 

 Spraguei with yellow hind wings. I wonder how many times 

 more I must repeat this. I have never seen a male arcifera with 

 black secondaries. 



2358. I think inortua might stand as an immaculate form of 

 Packardii; nobilis merely has the lines more distinct than the 

 latter, better written.
