The type is in the British Museum. I find I had entirely mistaken this 

 species. It has nothing to do at all with (huta nor with the derastatrlx 

 group, in fact, but belongs with the vuliuosa series. It is a very close 

 ally in maculation to remissa, or yet nearer to the European (jemina, 

 but much darker and with all the pale markings wanting. The W- 

 mark in the s. t. line is distinct, the orbicular oblique, and there is a 

 broad dash between the ordinary lines. I can not at present remem- 

 ber where I obtained the specimens marked separans, which led to my 

 erroneous reference.

Mr. Grote has referred this species, the type of which is in the Tep- 

 per collection, to illata Wlk. ; but that species is really an Agrotid, as 

 described by Mr. Walker, and is the cinereomaeuJata form of turris. 

 There is a vague sort of resemblance between the species, but an 

 examination of the generic characters should have ju'evented the 

 reference.
