me ; also four females from Mexico (Schaus collection and R. Muller) 

 and a male from Guatemala (Schwarz aind Barber). 



Anomis luridula Guenee. 



Anomis luridula Guenee, Spec. Gen. Lep., vi, 401, 1852. 



Anomis derogata Walker, Cat. Lep. Het. Brit. Mus., xiii, 990, 1857. 



Anomis umbrata Schaus, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., (8), vii, 81, 191 1. 



Ranges from Mexico to the Guianas, Mr. Schaus's type of um- 

 brata is large and dark, but not abnormal. I have specimens from Mex- 

 ico like it. Others from Nicaragua, Panama, and French Guiana are 

 before me. The male has a long swelling at base of costa, very con- 

 spicuous above. 



Anomis exacta Hubner. 



Anomis exacta Hubner, Samml. exot. Schmett., i, 1810. 

 Anomis impasta Guenee, Spec. Gen. Lep., vi, 400, 1852. 



• Anomis illiia Guenee, Spec. Gen. Lep., vi, 400, 1852. 



Anomis conducta Walker, Cat. Lep. Het. Brit. Mus., xiii, 990, 1857. 



• Aletia hostia Harvey, Can. Ent., viii, 6, 1876. 



Taking the male of Hiibner's figure as type, it seems to me to agree 

 best v^th the present species. The species varies considerably in color, 

 and the meirkings are often very faint or obliterated, especially in females. 

 The sw^elling at base of costa of the male is elongated and rather well 

 developed, but not conspicuous. The species is rather small. I have 

 specimens from Mexico to Breizil, including a number from Cuba. It also 

 occurs in Texas. 



Anomis oedema Guenee. 



Anomis oedema Guenee, Spec. Gen. Lep., vi, 399, 1852. 



Similar to exacta, but rather larger, the outer margin more promi- 

 nently bent, the markings bright, the ground color varied with ocherous. 

 The large elongate swelling at base of costa of male is characteristic. 

 My specimens are from the Guianas and Panama. 



Anomis aricina Druce. 



Anomis aricina Druce, Biol. Cent.- Am., Lep. Het., i, 337, 1899. 

 Like cedema, the costal swelling less pronounced, the color dark 

 brown to reddish, the lines marked with bluish white scales, except the 

 subterminal, which is obsolescent. Mexico, Costa Rica, Guatemala, 

 Panama.
