BROTIS VULNERARIA Hubn. 



BY GEO. D. HULST. 



In the Canadian Entomologist, this volume, p. 72, Mr. Ph. Fischer 

 tells us of the capture of the above moth at Buffalo, N. Y., adds some- 

 thing of the bibliography of the species, and remarks upon its aberrant 

 appearance and character. Permit me to add a few words to what was 

 there said. 



Guenee, Phalenites, vol. ii., p. 116, 1857, describes this species of 

 Hubner, under the generic name Sphecelodes, crediting the species to 

 Hubner, but ignoring his genus, as was Guenee's custom. He also de- 

 scribes the % , and pi. 22, f. 9, gives a figure of it. It differs very much 

 from the $ , having ciliated antennae, and lacking the triangular flesh- 

 colored costal spot. He is as much in doubt as was Hubner, as to its 

 classification, but places it among his Fidonidse. Walker, Cab. Brit. Mus. 

 Geometridae, p. 213, i860, catalogues vulneraria under Brotis Hubn., 

 placing Sphecelodes Guen. as a synonym of the genus. He also is in 

 doubt as to the proper location of the genus, but places it at the end of 

 the Ennominae, and says it does not seem to fit well anywhere. Guenee's
