This may be Gncuee's s^jinosae, while the figure in the Species 

 General but distantly recalls our species, and the description does 

 not agree entirely, especially in the color and position of the reni- 

 form spot. 



Heliothis tuberculum, Hubner. 



? Anthoecia tuhei'culum, Quenc'e. 

 Habitat, "Pennsylvania" (auth. Iliibncr). 



HiJbner's figure points to a species yet to be discovered by us, 

 while M. Guenee's identification may be inexact, since the hind 

 wings are described as "janncs" in the Species General. 



Heliothis binus. 



Anthoecia bina, Gueiii^e, p. 186, 1852. 



Anthoecia bina, Grote, Proc. E. S. Phil., p. 342, 1863. 



Habitat, Amerique Septentrionale (auth. Guenee). 



Heliothis brevis. 



Anthoecia brevis, Grote, Proc. Ent. See. Pliila., p. 530, plate 6, 

 fig. 4, 1864. 



Habitat, Colorado Territory. A specimen from the Territory 

 taken by Theo. L. Mead, and numbered 8, perfectly corresponds 

 with my type, and measures 25 m. m. in expanse. 



Heliothis atrites, Grote. 



Anthoecia brevis, Grote, 2 var., Proc. E. S. P., p. 530, plate 6, fig. 5, 

 1864. 



I have seen a second specimen in St. Louis, which was larger, 

 while otherwise agreeing Avith the specimen from Colorado Terri- 

 tory, and I feel little hesitation in retaining it under a distinct 

 name. 



Heliothis areiferus. 



Anthoecia arcigera, Guen6e, vol. 2, p. 184. 

 Anthoecia arcifera, Guen6e, vol. 3, p. 399.

 fig. 3, 1863. 



Habitat, New York; Pennsylvania.
