I have seen the types of vifiilans, soiesceus, and scmisigna in the 

 British Museum. Mr. Hutler refers semisif/na Wlk., to senescens; but 

 in my notes I have referred it to riffilans, I think more correctly. The 

 specimens of C7'asis in the musenm left me in doubt as to the syn(mymy ; 

 but this doubt was removed, by the specimens in the museum at Berlin. 

 Mr. Moeschler long ago sent me a specimen of his erdmani, labeled 

 =erasis. We have hers a decidedly variable species, the gray form 

 being sene.sccns Grt., and the crasis of the Berlin ]\[useum. The reddish 

 form is vigilans Grt., nwii erdmani Moeschl., with semisi(/na Wlk., some- 

 what intermediate but nearer to vif/ilans. In maculation the median 

 lines vary in distinctness and the ordinary spots in the amount of black 

 surrounding them. The species is not common, and I think I have 

 seen nearly all the specimens in the American collections.
