*) Smith savs: The names above f?iven apply to our owa fauna only ; 

 the insect has been further redescribed by Walker asXylina inquicta, 

 Prodenia strigifera, and Leucania externa, and by Mr. Butler as 

 Prodenia ignobilis. Mr. Hulst's synonym is very characteristic. Sraith's 

 reference, Cat. 168, that in Can. Ent. VIII, 189, I regarded f 1 a vi mac u 1 a ta 

 as ^frugiperda, is incorrect. I there, from two examples, regarded it &8 

 an "extreme variety", which is a different thing. And in my Reviscd List 

 I say that I have been wrong I believe in this reference and that it may 

 resemble the European exigua. I left it in the genus wliere Dr. Harvey 

 placed it, although I had referredit in 1875 to Laphygma. Certain European 

 ■writers do not consider Laphygma exigua as generically diatinct from 

 the species ofCaradrina. I have had no opportunitj of examining the 

 European species and the relationship of the genera is not known to rac.
