NOCTUIDAE 
CHABUATA FISTULA Harv. (syn. Tricholita ulamora Sm.) 
We can see nothing to warrant the supposition that ulamora Sm. 
from San Diego is a distinct species. See our remarks in “Contribu- 
tions,” Vol. I, No. 4, p. 55. 
XYLOMANIA PERLUBENS Grt. (syn. subapicalis Sm.). 
Smith was incorrect in stating that perlubens Grt. was the 3 of 
rubrica Harv. (Jour. N. Y. Ent. Soc. XIX, 140) and that his suba- 
picalis was distinct. We have specimens compared with both types 
and they are identical. Rubrica Harv. is a distinct species as listed. 
Our figure (Contributions II, pt. 1, Pl. 9, fig. 16) represents perlubens. 
CIRPHIS SCIRPICOLA Gn. (syn. Leucania calpota Sm.) 
One of Smith’s co-types has been compared with Guenée’s type 
and found identical. 
ONCOCNEMIS CHANDLERI Grt. (syn. colorado Sm.) 
In the type specimen of chandleri the orbicular and reniform are 
joined, but this feature is variable as shown by a long series in Coll. 
Barnes. In the other points of maculation we can see no difference 
between the two species. 
PARASTICHTIS AURANTICOLOR Grt. 
The type specimen in the British Museum, a ¢ labelled “Colorado,” 
does not coincide with the remainder of the series nor with the figure 
given by Hampson (Cat. Lep. Phal. Pl. 109, fig. 30), which is not a 
figure of the type, but represents the usually accepted idea of auranti- 
color, an idea due probably to an erroneous determination by J. B. 
Smith in his revision of the genus Hadena; the same species is figured 
in our “Contributions” Vol. II, No. 1, Pl. XV, fig. 5-7. We note that 
Grote in his original description gives the locality as “Twin Lakes, 
Colo. Territory (Coll. Theo. Mead, No. 41)” whereas Hampson 
states “Colorado (Snow)” as the locality of the type specimens; our 
own note on the locality has been already given; there may just pos- 
sibly have been a shifting of type labels, but in view of the fact that
