probably correct. The synonymy is changed in that Monosca subno- 

 tata Wlk. , is added and sobria Wlk., is removed. Graphiphora sobria 

 Wlk., is really not a hairy-eyed form at all and is the same as Ma/iies- 

 tra inducta Wlk., which Ihad referred to Carneades messoria. Hamp- 

 son has referred the names to Copitarsia turbata H.-S., and in this 

 T believe he is right. That species is Central and South American. 



Trichopolia Grt. , receives as an addition Lathosea ursina Sm., — 

 an addition which I think would not have been made had Hanppson 

 compared the other species, both of which were autoptically unknown 

 to him. 



StretcJiia Hy. Edw. , is confined to inuricina, phisiceformis, vari- 

 abilis and inferior, with the Japanese saxea added. 



In Moi-risonia Grt., there is quite a change in the synonymy. 

 Xylina multifaria Wlk., appears under viucens as a synonym, instead 

 of under confusa, where I placed it. It is a ? and comes from the 

 same locality as spoliata Wlk., which is a c? and which I referred to 

 mucens. A reexamination leaves me in such doubt that I would prob- 

 ably have made the same determination again ; but in view of the facts 

 above stated, I accept Hampson's conclusions as probably correct. 



M. sectilis Gn., is separated from evicta-vomerina -^'xXh ^\i\c}ci I 

 had associated it, and that is correct ; but with it is placed rileyana 

 Sm., which I do not believe right. Sectilis is larger, redder, and the 

 secondaries are smoky, while in my species they are nearly white. 

 The type has been reset and would hardly be called a poor specimen 

 at the present time. 



Morrisonia peraciita Morr. , which has not been known from other 

 than the types and has never had a definite locality, is now referred 

 as a synonym of Persectania evingi Westw., from Australasia, and 

 with apparent justice. 



Xylomania Hampson is a new genus for a combination of species, 

 some of them heretofore referred to Stretchia, some to TcEniocampa, 

 but most of them to Xylomiges. 



Xylomania alternans Wlk., xq.^\z.q.&?, Xylomiges tabulata Qx\..,zx\^ 

 about this I am doubtful. The Grote type is like what I have always 

 had under his name : the Walker types are much brighter, redder ex- 

 amples, much more xyliniform in appearance and I do not consider 

 a good species excluded. There is no definite locality to the Walker 

 species. 



Perigrapha Led., is enlarged in scope to include species with
