*) Butler says, Ent. Am. III., 36: „I am very doubtful about the 

 identity of exilis and modica: it is possible they are distinct and, in any 

 case, they represent two well marked types of one species". Reason enough 

 for Smith to make exilis a simple synonym of modica! The type of the 

 latter escaped my notice in the B. Mus. coli. I believe the synonymy here 

 adopted from Butler and Smith for brumosa Gn. to be quite doubtful. 



**) American lepidopterists have come to do final identification of the 

 two species of Apatela fisured by Abbot. The figurcs of the moths seem too 

 vague for positive identification, but tho3e of the larvae should be positively 

 recognizable. Harris, apparently from the larva, considers Abbot's aceris 

 tobe americana. Guenee, who does not kuow Harris, describes imagos of 

 americana asAbbot's hastulifera. I have sugested that, since the figure 

 of the larva of aceris resembles the larva of americana, and the moth of 

 hastulifera rather resembles tiie muth of americana, Abbot's figures 

 of the larvae may have been transposed. See Bull. B. S. N. S. IL, 154. 

 Smith's citations I do not quite understand, since Gueuee's and Walker's 

 hastulifera is americana: he makes the two distin et and gives habitats 

 for both. Until Southern larvae are positively identified from Abbot's figures 

 and the imagos reared from them. we shall liave no certainty as to the 

 relation of the Southern forms with each other and with Ilarris's americana. 

 As to Walker's so-called descriptions of Acronyctae, all gray Noctuids
