found Aug. 1 at West Cliff; was darker and more suffused than usual, 

 reniform spot rounder below, and separated from orbicular.

746. Erebus odora L., var. at light. West Cliff, July 30 (Mrs. Charlton). 



This specimen has a strong white belt on both wings; whiter and better 

 developed than in any of the Jamaican examples I have seen. Mr. 

 Grote wrote in "Can. Ent." 1887, p. 220, ''Erebus odora may breed in 

 So. Colorado." 



747. Homopyralis discalis Grt. 



748. Bleptina caradrinalis Gn., var. The species is in the N. J. list. 



Peridroma saucia is quoted by Prof. Smith from North and SouthAmerica, 

 Europe and Asia — a sufficiently wide distribution ! Noctua clandestina 

 is boreal and widely diffused in N, Amer., where it appears to repre- 

 sent the European Agrotis obsura (= ravida). The two species are so 

 much alike that Mr. Tutt ("British Noctuse," vol. i\), judging from 

 superficial appearances, does not separate them ; but according to 

 Speyer and Smith, there are good structural characters in the male, 

 making it impossible to rank the two forms as specifically identical. 

 Chor. auxUiaris and C. introferens both extend to Texas and California, 

 So, of four species of Agrotis sens, lat., one is boreal and circumpolar, 

 one is boreal American, and two are western.
