fiued by a darker shade line, which is very prominently projected 

 below costa, and is succeeded by a transverse double row of blackish 

 dots with white accessory scales. A narrow, short, oblique whitish 

 apical shade, which is far less prominent and continued than in E. 

 albifrons. Beneath this, a diffuse, terminal dark shade. The terminal 

 line is interrupted on the n^rvules, and is straight, not regularly lunu- 

 late as in E. albifrons. Fringes darker, with a terminal, pale shade, 

 and interrupted with paler stains at the extremity of the nervules. 

 Secondaries, unicolorous brownish, immaculate, a little paler at base; 

 fringes, whitish. 



Under surface, brownish, immaculate, becoming a little paler on the 

 secondaries and at base of primaries; the apices of these latter tinged 

 with whitish. Exp., £, 1.70 inch. Length of body, 0.80 inch.

This more robust species differs from E. albifrons, in the longer 

 palpi; while I have detailed above, in the body of the description, the 

 characters of ornamentation which separate it from its Northern con- 

 gener. 



The remarks of Dr. Herrich-Schaeffer, Corr. Bl. Beg. No. 9, p. 

 134, Sept. 1866, called my attention to the Noctuidte contained in 

 I'rof. Poey's Collection. Among them I found the specimen which 

 I have above described under the Notodontid genus Edema, Walk. I 

 had already examined a species of Crino, JBiibn., (No. 231) and Nys- 

 talea, Guenee, (No. 307.) both of which latter I am still disposed to 

 regard as Noctuidae and not Bombycidre. I have not been able to find 

 any specimen with the etiquette "473," a No. mentioned by Dr. Her- 

 rich-Schaeffer as attached to a specimen belonging to a Notodontid 

 genus, and sent by Dr. Gundlach. Euthisanotia timais, Hilbn.. and 

 HjUglyphia hieroglyphica, Walk., (Bombyx /estiva, Fabr. ; Euglyphia 

 elegans, Hubn.,) the latter primarily illustrated by Cramer, and de- 

 scribe! by Gruenea under the name of Noropsis /astuosa, are repre- 

 sented in Prof. Poey's Collection by specimens from Cuba ; both of 

 these species have already been properly referred to the NoctuidtB by 

 various Authors. I mention this circumstance here in connection 

 with a letter received from Prof. Poey on the subject, and also since 

 these species are enumerated among the " Bombycites'' of the Collec- 

 tion in the MS. Catalogue of the Professor.
