Habitat. — Texas to California; Colorado; Utali; New Mexico. 



The type of junctnra is in the British Museum; that of wahhii is, I 

 believe, destroyed; that oZ arizonie is in the collection of the American 

 Entomological Society; that of aspasia is in the Strecker collection; 

 that of Cassandra is in the Edwards collection, while tliat of sara is, I 

 believe, with Prof. French. 



This species has made as much bad blood as almost any other Amer- 

 ican iioctuid, and even now the synonomy above given will probably be 

 questioned by some.
