Dr. Riley questions Mr. Grote's idcntificatiou of this species, and calls 

 our Americau form tc.vana. He is probably correct in this; but as I 

 have not studied the question, I give the bibliography necessary to put 

 the student on the track. 



A. texana Riloy.* 



1885. Kiley, 4tli Kept. Ent. Comin., 350, apji. 120, pi. ii, fF. 4, 5, and 6, Anomis. 



Habitat. — Texas ; Southern United States. 



Dr. Eiley proposes this name to replace exacta Grt., not Hiibner. 

 The figure given is excellent, and leaves no doubt as to the species 

 intended. The types are in the National Museum.

Luridula Gn,, and derogata Wlk., based on typical specimens in the 

 British Museum, are one species. Tliere is not even the varietal 

 dift'erence between them that Mr. Butler seems to suspect, unless very 

 slight difference in maculation makes a variety. Under that defini- 

 tion almost every specimen would be a variety, so I can not quite un- 

 derstand what Mr. Butler's remark {I. c, p. 13) was intended to mean.

The types are in the British Museum. The species is much more 

 common in Central and South America, and probably only occasional in 

 the Southern United States. Mr. Butler would see in this the true 

 Aletia argillacea of Hiibner, and so cites it in the Entomologist, /. o. 

 .supra. I do not follow Mr. Butler's references to illita Gn., becnuse i 

 believe that to be another species. One of the types is in the Jardin des 

 plantes in Paris, while none is in the BritishMuseum. I did not directly 

 compare the specimens, but Guenee's species looked different, I do 

 know that the synonymy above is correct as far as it goes,
