Habitat. — ISTevada; Washington. 



Tyi)es of this species are in tlie British Mnsenm and also in Mr. 

 Neumoegen's collection. Mr.Grote usually marked "Type "all the speci- 

 mens before him when describing a species, and these quite frequently 

 belonged to more than one collection. It thus happens that the "type" 

 may be in several collections as already indicated.

1890. Smith, Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus., No. 38, 40, = innotaMlis. 



Habitat. — California; Washington; Vancouver. 



Types of all these names are in the Britisli Museum, and all are ref- 

 erable to the same species. Mr. Grote can not be blamed for not recog- 

 nizing Walker's species in its generic disguise; but his name must be 

 restored, nevertheless. The type resembles innotabilu rather than 

 washingtoniensis. 



A. quarta Grt. 



1883. Grt., Bull. Geol. Surv., vr, 258, Agrotis. 

 Habitat.— Sanzalito, California. 



The type in tlie British Muvseum represents a species I had not before 

 seen. It has nothing in common with haja except its ground color and 

 has the structural characters of the present genus, differing obviously 

 from all the species.
