Ripogenus pulcherrimvs Grote. 



This insect is so rare that T have never owned a specimen. Since 

 describing it, twenty years ago, or nearly, I took a figure of it with me to 

 England, and, comparing it there with Eutelia, I believed it belonged to 

 an allied but different genus. At the time I described it I did not know 

 the European species even by figure. Mr. Tepper has a specimen taken 

 on Long Island which he showed me in his beautiful collection. I left it 

 catalogued under Eiitelia in my Check List till I could verify my belief and 

 print this note for those who may be fortunate enough to have material to 

 examine.* 



Charidea Kirby. 



The European species catalogued by Lederer under this genus are not 

 congeneric. I have separated Pyrrhia, which has one or two European and 

 three American species, all closely allied and agreeing also in style of mark- 

 ings and color quite closely. Our only true Charidea seems to me to be 

 Peruana. CirrJwphamus iriangidifer^ again examined since my return 

 home, differs by the want of tibial armature, as to which I was uncertain, 

 and in the clypeal structure, as observed by me. The ornamentation is, 

 however, similar, and the untufted abdomen proportionately slender.

Trama Griseipennts , ?i. s. 



Larger than arrosa^ of a pearly gray. The male shaded with fuscous 

 before the curved, flexuous, pale s. t. line. T. a. line broken, dark. Reni- 

 form small, indicated. T. p. line followed by a pale shade. Both outer 

 lines continuous on hind wings, divergent. Fore wings pointed at tips. 

 Color and appearance of both wings similar. In male the dark shading 

 continued within the outer line on secondaries. A festooned dark com- 

 mon terminal line , fringes pale gray. Beneath darker, somewhat brown- 

 ish ; faint traces of double outer common lines. Arizona ; Coll. B. Neu-

Anytus Sculptus var. Planus. 



This is a form of Sculptus of which I have now seen two or three ex- 

 amples, one in Mr. Hill's extensive collection, in which the median lines 



* Since writing this I have Mr. Smith's valuable observations on the genera of 

 Noctuidif, and note his remarks on this genus. I do not see or receive the Bulletin in 

 which it appeared, but am indebted to Mr. Smith's kindness for the copy.
