Hamtat. — Sotithcrii Texas. 



The type is in the British ^ruseiim and is a Heliotliid, I thiidc. It 

 most resembles il/c'//(7q^/>'yV/, and has the anterior tibia armed witli a 

 claw. I could not decide positively from the specimen where it best 

 belon<;ed and lea\e the si)e('ies in the present genus until more material 

 is at hand. It was unknown to me in 1889.

TTaiutat. — Arizona, Fort lluachuca. 



The type is in theXeunKogen collection. I have had a recent chance 

 to examine it, and find it a Ileliothid, j)robably best referred to r.sen- 

 (lanthaci<(. The material is too scant for positive reference and I leave 

 it here with the probabilities indicated.

A revision of the species of this genus will be found in Entomologlca

 with the types so far as 1 have seen them, except where otherwise 

 mentioned.

 ler's note. Eraatria varia is a well defined specimen of this sx>ecies.
