simple antennae in the female, and includes a number of species which 

 we have under Stretchia, and some that are under Tctniocampa. 

 There is no change in the synonymy. 



Mofiima Hbn., contains those of our Tceniocavipa that have the 

 general appearance and wing form of alia. M. subterminata Sm., is 

 made a synonym of revicta Morr. , and that is correct. 



Perigonica remains as in our lists and has no foreign additions. 



Sideridis Hbn., replaces Crocigrapha Grt., and Mainesfra rosea, 

 C07iger7nana and rubefacta are added to nonnani. Here again I must 

 dissent from the association. C. nonnani differs so much from rosea 

 in wing form and in certain structural peculiarities of the (^ that 

 except in a purely artificial arrangement they should not be closely 

 associated. 



Mamestra vindemialis Gn., is referred to Physetica Meyr., and 

 Hampson comments as follows : " The type has the abdomen of a male 

 of some other species stuck onto it, and will probably prove to be from 

 New Zealand." It will be safe, I think, to drop the name from our 

 lists hereafter. 



Ceramica Gn., is restored as a good genus with picta Harr., as 

 sole species, and that is perhaps a satisfactory disposition of the matter. 



Cirphis Wlk., is used for Leucania as it stands in our lists. C. 

 eboriosa Gn. (not ebriosa) and C. obusta Gn., which have figured as 

 American insects for so long a time are now referred to Tasmania, and 

 thus satisfactorily disposed of. To Z. multilinea Wlk., solita Wlk., is 

 added as a synonym, and apparently with justice. L. heterodoxa Sm., 

 is made a synonym of insueta Gn., although they are quite unlike and 

 the genitalic characters of the c? are obviously different. Z. megadia 

 Sm., is made to equal dia Grt., and that may prove to be correct. 



Leucania snbpunctata Harv., is referred as a synonym to C. lati- 

 usciela H. Sch., in company with half a dozen others and this seems to 

 be correct. The species extends through Central and South America 

 and into the West Indies. It is somewhat variable and has been de- 

 scribed for the different faunas. 



Mamestra 4-annulata Morr. , finds a place in this genus and this 

 seems scarcely justified. There is one poor example in the Museum 

 which is correctly determined ; a second example is much better ; 

 but seems to me to represent quite a different species. I believe the 

 association with Mamestra much better than with Leucania. 



Borolia Moore, is made to apply to our smaller, whiter species of
