CATALOGUE OF NOCTUIDiE SMITH. 285 



The type is in the British Museum and is a S])ecieB I had not before 

 seen. The tibial armature can not be made out as the le^s are curh'd 

 under in the si)ecimeu. It resembles arci/cra, but is smaller and with- 

 out median lines.

The tyi)e is in the British Museum. It looks more like Meh'clcptria 

 than the specimen retained by Mr. Thaxter. Mr. Grote's genus is based, 

 apparently, on the characters I pointed out, but if the si)ecies is re- 

 moved from tSchinia, it must go to I'seuihtainila.

The tyi)e is with Mr. Strecker. The anterior tibia^ have an inner and 

 four outer claws, and the species is thus related to tertia. 



By a regretable oversight the three last-najued species were omitted 

 from my list of Lepi(l(>i)tera. The accident happened because in my 

 Kevision they v/ere among the unknowni species, and, after seeing the 

 types and annotating my copy, I failed to enter them in the list of 

 species where they belonged.
