188 BULLETIN 44, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. 



Tlie type of the species is in the British Museum and I have a care- 

 fully compared specimen. I have not seen JMr. Morrison's variety, 

 which may be another 8i)ecies, probably represented in the National 

 Museum.

Mr. Grote's type is in the British jMuseum, where there is also a 

 specimen named jmwicola, apparently determined by Guenee. Guenee 

 credits the species to Boisduval, but describes it himself for the first 

 time. The specimen agrees well with the description and may, I 

 think, be fairly considered as rex)resentative of jimcicoJa which, then, 

 is the same as adjnta.

The type is in the British Museum, i have a con)i)ai('d specimen 

 almost exactly like it.

Both the types are in the British Museum and refer to the same 

 species. Insuctn is a somewhat darker form ; but not otherwise difterent. 

 Mr. Grote's lelerence to commoidca was l)ased on determinations made 

 by Walker, and that was ai very unsafe basis. I have specimens com- 

 l)ared with tlic types.
