CATALOGUE OF NOCTUIDvE SMITH. 125 



The types of infecta and herbimacula are both in the British Museum. 

 Walker's type is quite a respectable specimen and should not have been 

 doubtful.

Tiie types of the above names are in the British Museum. Mr. Biitler 

 has referred them all as synonyms of Celwna egens; but egens is not a 

 Mamcstra, unfortunately; it is an Hadena allied in wing form to some 

 of the smaller Euroi)ean forms. I have a specimen like Walker's type 

 of egens from Colorado.
