Tlie types of all save rramei's species are in tlie lUitish Musenni, 

 Tiiere are more names which I am certain refer to this same form; but 

 1 have given above all from onr own literature. Herrich-8chaiffer and 

 (lundlacli botli use Guenee's name in their works.

Habitat. — INFassachnsetts in September; New York, west to the 

 (Jentral States, south to Florida and Texas; Texas in Xovemb'r and 

 December; District of Columbia in October. 



The types are in the British Museum. Claufacta is a rubbed spe(;i- 

 men, but of the normal type. Commoda is a more obscure form in 

 which the white is almost eliminated. It is quite probable that Walker 

 has still further described the species from South America, but I liad 

 no time to study the matter, and the relief of our own literature from 

 unidentified names was my chief object.

Habitat. — "United States;" St. Domingo. 



Walker's types are in the British Museum. That o? puucf I/era is one 

 of Doubleday's specimens without locality and may have come from 

 Florida. The other specimens are under the other name, one from the 

 "West Indies," the other from Janniica. Walker gives it from St. 

 Domingo. The insect has the wing form of a76oZ«6es, but it is much 

 smaller. It is like fahre/acta in color ; the ordinary spots are well 

 marked and the reiiiform is spotted with white.

The type is in the British Museum. The insect has a curious resem- 

 blance to Mamestra leucogramma.
