iThis species has beeu suspected to be identical with the European cii-cillaris, which latter 

 name it should replace in the List. A large, coarse, buff yellow species, with large, iuferiorly 

 stained reniform ; the lines double, blackish, waved, incontinuous ; the hind wings shaded with 

 fuscous ; fringes and body squamae buff yellow ; eyes naked, lashed. 



2 rhe specimen before me is an Orthosia, the eyes lashed ; the markings are like Orthosia. 

 Caradrina, as defined by Lederer, contains heterogeneous forms. However, Mr. Morrison's 

 Hadena rasilis agrees better with Caradrina than with Iladena, from which it differs by the 

 smooth, flattened, untufted abdomen. The following are recent synonyms of Mr. Morrison's 

 so far as known to me ; the last two references are not concurred in by Mr. Morrison. Mr. 

 Morrison's generic references, where they differ in these instances, I regard as incorrect. 



Copipanolis vernalis Morr.=Eutolype Rolandi. 



Orthosia baliola Morr. = Apamea purpuripennis. 



Xanthoptera nigrocaput. Morr.=Xanth. Ridingsii. 



Mamestra illabefacta Morr.=Mam. lilacina. 



i?arf«wa 7-ac«j/j« Morr. = Caradrina grata. 



Bolina fasciolaris Morr. (nee. Hubn.)=Bolina nigrescens. 



3^5 .—Smaller, paler, but resembling xanlhioides. Ochreous ; median lines tolerably approx- 

 imate and distinct, black, irregularly dentate ; t. p. line with the dentations terminating out- 

 wardly in a succession of black points, followed by inconspicuous white scales ; subtenninal 

 line faint; ordinary spots separated by the median shade, concolorous, faintly black and white 

 ringed ; hind wings pale in both sexes, with a terminal ochrey band, broader and darker in the 

 female ; thorax like fore wings, abdomen like secondaries in color. Expanse, 25 m. m. Texas
