Eriopus monetifera, Guenee. 



A specimen of this beautiful species has been sent to me also by 

 Mr. Bowles, taken near Quebec. Specimens have occurred also to Mr. 

 C. A. Blake, in New Jersey. 



Baptria albovittata, Guenee. 



A % specimen of this interesting species has been sent to me by Mr. 

 Russell, taken near Quebec, C, and differs from my figure (Proc. Ent. 

 Soc. Phil. Vol. II. PI. 8. fig. 3 9 .) by the absence of the three white 

 dots near the costa posterior to the band on anterior wings, and the 

 presence of an accessory dot near internal angle.

Following Dr. Herrich-Schaeffer I referred these two species to Bap- 

 tria, Hiib., which is now restricted on this Continent to Baptria albo- 

 vittata, (^Odezia albovittata, Guenee.) Subsequently Dr. Herrich- 

 Schaeffer's species, figures 75, 76 and 320 — 321 Lep. Exot.,have been 

 placed in the present genus to which I now refer the only described 

 species found North of Mexico^ and which, resembling Erateina erota, 

 Cramer, from Surinam, differ from the numerous other described spe- 

 cies of the genus by the bluish metallic exterior transverse lines, broadly 

 marked in Cramer's figure, narrower in our species where they are ob- 

 servable only in certain lights, and are not indicated on my Plate. I 

 do not perceive on the posterior wings in the males of our species the 

 exaggeration of the fold along the abdominal margin mentioned by M. 

 Guenee. 



The South American species contained in Group 1, Guenee, in which 

 the posterior wings are produced at anal angle into tail-like appendages, 

 should perhaps be separated generically.
