From the specimen of socia it seems to me probable that L. pe- 

 tulca Grote, may have been described as an American variety by 

 Gnenee ; I rely on the contiguity of the median lines on the sub- 

 median fold in our species to separate them specifically. Both spe- 

 cies seem to be variable to a great extent in color and distinctness 

 of ornamentation; it would, however, be incorrect with our present 

 knowledge to draw further absolute comparisons, while I regard the 

 character above given a very strong one. My single specimen of 

 socia has a slightly deeper shading over the submedian portion of 

 the fore wings something like that in ferrealis and signosa, and en- 

 tirely unlike any specimens of petulca that I have yet seen in this 

 respect. 



Note. — As Messrs. Lintner and Morrison have recently shown 

 before this Society, that the American species of Calocampa are dis- 

 tinct from the European, and as the determinations of Mr.' Walker 

 were accepted to the contrary in the " List," this latter must be 

 corrected, and for the species cited on page 27 the following genera 

 and species substituted : 



* CALOCAMPA Stephens (1829). 



Type : Axylia vetusta Hiibner.

I have received, since I prepared the '' List of Nortli American 

 Noctuidae " for the press. Professor Zeller's second Paper on North 

 American Moths. In tliis two species of Noctuidae are described 

 and figured. They appear to me to necessitate two synonymical
