The fore tibiix; arc short and stout, on the inside with a longer terminal 

 claw followed by two uneeiual spinules ; on the outside and shorter edge 

 with two smaller sub-equal claws, the second the shorter, and a third, 

 farther removed, between a spinule and a claw, a short broadish spinule. 

 Front bulging, narrowly scaled, with infra-clypeal plate, no frontal tuber- 

 cle. Eyes naked, unlashed ; ocelli. Labial palpi slender. Vestiture 

 mingled scales and hair. Middle and hind tibia.' spinose. Abdomen 

 untufted. 



Neither RedifascUi nor Guliiart\ which reseml)le each other in mark- 

 ings, probably belong here ; the latter 1 have never seen ; the only speci- 

 men of the former which I found in Mr. Neumoegen's collection has the 

 legs defective, the tibise not being spinose as far as I can see. The student 

 is referred to my List (1874) for the types of the North American genera 

 of Noctuida,\ 



LVGRANTHOECIA G. & R. (1873). 



Type : Anthoecia Rivulosa Guen. 

 Fore tibia; with fine spinules on the inside, which is furnished with two 

 sub-equal claws : on the outside with a succession of four in diminishing 

 series from the end of joint. Tibia.- spinose. A'estiture mi.xed scales and 

 hair. Eyes naked, imlashed. 'J'his genus differs l)y the armature from 

 Schiitia. but tiie frontal structure is the same. 1 may be wrong in con- 

 sidering the variations of tibial armature to l)e of generic value. I was 

 at work on Mr. Neumoegen's collection, and had reached in part similar 

 conclusions with Mr. Smith, who uses exactly the characters 1 do. It is 

 a mistake to suppose I had reviewed all the genera in my List. I merely 

 gradually added the new forms. I shall again refer more fully to Mr. 

 Smith's interesting paper.
