Gen. Plusia Hübn.**) 1806. 

 Type: P. chrysitis. 



*) To this geims belong the closely allied L. confligens Wlk., from 

 Central America aud L. hatuey Poey, from Cuba. 



**) The earliest mention of Plusia may be by Fabricius in bis Systema 

 Glossatorum, a work I have not seen and which is said to be "unpublished". 

 But Ochsenheimer, in 1816, cannot be credited with the terra, because in 

 bis work 4,89, be distinctly credits Hübner (Tentamen, 1806), and üübner 

 fixes the generic type. Ilere the Tentamen again lifts us out of all difficulty 

 and silences dispute. With our 3 N. Am. species here referred to the sub- 

 genus Plusia, the European Chrysitis, Zosimi and Chryson appear 

 to agree structurally. The otber European groups do not appear to have 

 been compared accurately with the American and, until that is done, the 

 names in the Verzeichniss cannot be correctly applied to our species. 

 Euchalcia Hübn., is a name for an European group seemingly not American. 

 I arrange our species therefore under Autographa Ilübn., with the type 

 gamma, represented with us and from which .he dissonant American groupa 

 must be separated by lature systematists.
