Peru and do not know if it ranges to the Mexican Plateau. 



5132,1. Pyrausta ftimipennis Warren (Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist.,, 

 (6), ix, 392, 1892) is omitted. It was described from Cali- 

 fornia. 



5153. Walker's orphisalis seems to have been misidentified in 

 my catalogue. Barnes & McDunnough apparently recognize 

 both this species and ochosalis Dyar ; but Schaus has labeled 

 a specimen of ochosalis: "Pyrausta orphisalis Walk., comp. 

 B. M." I suspect, therefore, that there is but one species 

 concerned. 



5177.1. Pyrausta achroalis Hampson (Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., 

 (8), xii, 26, 1913) should be added. I have a specimen from 

 Miami, Florida (W. Schaus). The species looks quite out 

 of place in Pyrausta and perhaps a separate genus may be 

 justified. 



5177. 2. The genus Boeotarcha Meyrick should follow here 

 with two species: B. demantrialis Druce (Biol. Cent. -Am.. 

 Lep. Het., ii, 270, 1895), which I have from Newark, New 

 Jersey, August 23, 1899 (A. J. Weidt) ; Pittsburgh, Pennsyl- 

 vania, July 30 and August 4, 1906 (H. Engel) ; New 

 Brighton, Pennsylvania, August 21, 1902 (H. D. Merrick) ; 

 Cove Mountains, Pennsylvania, July 27 and August 3, 1913 

 (E. Daecke) ; Kerrville, Texas, September, 1906 (H. 

 Lacey) ; Southern Arizona (O. C. Poling). 



5177, 3. B. stigmosalis Warren (Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., (6), 

 ix, 209, 1892), which I have from Miami, Florida (W. 

 Schaus), 



5177, 4. Also A::ochis Walker, with one species, A. rufidis- 

 calis Hampson (Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., (7), xiv, 186, 1904). 

 =cubanalis Hampson (Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., (8), xi, 337, 

 19] 3), which I have from Miami, Florida (W. Schaus). 



5181. After studying Warren's description, I cannot see in 

 Cornifrons pulveralis anything more than a form of simalis 

 Grote. The home of the typical simalis is the Rocky Moun- 

 tain region of Colorado. In the Great Basin it takes a 

 smaller, lighter form, pulveralis Warren. I have this form 

 from Placer County, California, June (through C. V.
