*) This species I had identified with Guen^e's Cerastis, of which genus 

 it has the stractural characters. Mr. Smith found a specimen of Agrotis 

 cnpida bearing the label in coli. Brit. Mus., but Guen6e's type imist be 

 examined in coli. Oberthür before one can credit such a mistake on (iufii(!'e'8 

 part. Mr. Smith says that Guenee's description would be distinctly applicable 

 were the generic reference correct. 



**) The Identification of this name with my Epiglaea venustula 

 came to me from Albany collectors. From Morrison's description I have shown 

 the absohlte impossibility that Morrison could have liad my venustula before 

 hiin. The markings described make it probable that the insect deßcrfbed as 

 sericea is not a Glaea at all. "Where Morrison's type is I know not, nor 

 do I remember I ever saw it. Mr. Smiths references j)robably all belong to 

 venustula which he identifies as sericea. I regard Orrhodia as a synonym of 

 Glaea and all the species here cited as confiieneric with the European, Stand. 

 Cat. 118. I distinctly oppose Mr. Smith's opinion that the Tentamen niust be 

 rejected. Unless we admit it there is no anthority for a nuraber of namcs now 

 in nse.
