 Portland, Oregon , April an«l May. 



The types of both names are in the British Museum. I failed to see 

 the tyi)e oi simijlex in the British Museum, as it was not ranged among 

 the true noctuids of Mr. Butler's first study. Afterward, Mr. Butler 

 very kindly sent me a figure of the species which made it certain that it 

 was no Acronycta, but was too sketchy to make out positively. Yet 

 later Mr. Butler stumbled on XyJomiges cruciaUs Harv., and recognized 

 in it Walker's Acronycta simpJex.

1873. Grt., Bull. Bull'. Soc. Nat. Sci., i, 143, Xylomigcs.
