and is yet ranked as a synonym. In genus 122, Cmmbidia, we rec- 

 ognize another acquaintance, and under it a.re pallida as type, and 

 Lithoda eaudida, casta and cephalica as other species. Genus 126 is 

 Eustixia Hiib., with pupnla as type and sole species. This is un- 

 doubtedly a Pyralid, and has been so referred by Prof. Feriiald in 

 the recent Check List. Genus 144 is Coscinia Hiib., and among 

 others we find our Emydla ampla under this generic name. Ufeth- 

 eisa is genus 147, containing among others our species ornatrix, be/la, 

 venasta eind pulchella, all as good species; vejmsta Dalm. is an older 

 name for Kpeciosa; so Mr. Kirby says. Under ^'^tfta^^/ie Hiib., genus 

 163, we find our species of Crocota, in which little change is ventured. 

 Genus 1G6, Eudule Hiib., contains our Ameria texana and unicolor, 

 and Crocota immaculata Reak. Genus 179 is Pagara Wlk., with 

 simplex as type, and murina as synonym. I have shown, " Canadian 

 Entomologist," xxiv, 134, that these are the same as Vanesmdes 

 clams G. & R., which Mr. Kirby makes genus 160 in the Arctiidse, 

 placing it next to Euchcetes. The present location is much the better. 

 Mr. Kirby is certainly in error in citing simplex as the type of the 

 genus ; venosa was first described under the name, and simplex under 

 another name is the type of Gomacla. If venosa is really congeneric 

 with the others, it makes no difference which is selected, otherwise 

 Gomacla has the right to recognition. Genus 182 is written Euphau- 

 essa, and contains our species and two others. Clemensia is genus 

 190, and contains our species and one other from Brazil. Under 

 Nycteola we have our species referred to iSarrothripa. I think that 

 these species are certainly entitled to family rank ; there is more 

 difference structurally between Nycteola and Lithoxia than between 

 the latter and Arctia. EuUthosia Hy. Edw., genus 199, is a Noctuid, 

 as I have shown. To Nola 72 species are referred, among which the 

 four names credited to our fauna make a poor showing. In Argy- 

 rophyes, however, we have two of the three species, and under Le- 

 hena, genus 210, we find our Nola truiotata, miiina, sorghiella and 

 inelanopa. To the remaining genera no American species are re- 

 ferred. 



Family XI, the Hypsidae, family XII, the Callidulidpe, and family 

 XIII, the Cyllopodidse are not represented in our fauna. 



In Family XIV, the Dioptidse, Phrygaiiidia califoniica is the only 

 species from our fauna. 



Family XV, the Nyetemeridpe, are altogether unrepresented. 



Family XVI, the Liparida^, contains 180 genera, among which
