184 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Noctuida. 

 Oxycnemis dunbari Harv. 



Hadena dunbari, Harvey, Can. Ent. VIII., 52 (1876). 

 Litholomia dunbari. Smith, Bull. 44, U.S.N.M., 226 (1893). 



Oxycnemia definita Barnes and McDunnough, Cont. Nat. 

 Hist. N. Am. Lep., I, (5) 17, PI. II., fig. 3 (1912). 



Mr. Wolley-Dod recently called our attention to the fact that 

 our definita was probably synonymous with dunbari Harv. An 

 examination of Harvey's type in the Edward's Coll. by Dr. Barnes- 

 showed a strong claw on fore tibia, which had evidently been over- 

 looked by Smith, and confirmed Dod's suspicions. The species^ 

 certainly is no Litholomia; we place it doubtfully in Oxycnemis for 

 the present. Hampson's figure, which misled us, (Cat. Lep. Phal.. 

 pi. 100, fig. 31) does not represent this species at all, but is a strong- 

 ly marked form of napaea Morr. 



Ozarba fannia Dru. 



Eustrotia fannia Druce, Biol. Cent. Am. Het. I., 313, PI. 29, 

 fig. 12 (1889). 



Ozarba fannia Hampson, Cat. Lep. Phal. X., 451 (1910). 



Numerous specimens before us from San Antonio, Texas. 

 Black Jack Spgs., Texas, and Kerrville, Texas, agree with Hamp- 

 son's generic definition and correspond fairly with Druce's figure. 

 The species had been misidentified for us by J. B. Smith as Thal- 

 pochares cetheria Grt., which, according to Hampson, who has the 

 type before him, is generically distinct. 



Eustrotia catilina Dru. 



Eustrotia catilina Druce, Biol. Cent. Am. Het. I., 312, PI. 29. 

 fig. 5 (1889); Hampson, Cat. Lep. Phal. X., p. 598 (1910). 



One cf and two 9s from Shovel Mt., Texas; San Benito. 

 Texas; Texas (Rauterberg). 



Palindia nricca Dru. 



Palindia micca Druce, Biol. Cent. Am. Het. I., 319, PI. 29, 

 fig. 5 (1889). 



A single cf in very fresh condition from San Benito, Texas, 

 corresponds well with Druce's figure; shows, however, only traces of 

 the terminal dark shading.
