NOTES ON THE SYNONYMY OF NOCTUID MOTHS. 

 By Arthur G. Butler, Ph.D., F.L.S., &c. 

 (Continued from p. 227.) 



AzETA, Guen. 

 M. Giienee confounded two genera under Azeta, represented 

 by A. uncas and A. vampoa ; the former will have to stand as the 

 type, because yl. ^-rt/n/joa, rhodocj aster, and mirzah {hi^ other three 

 species) are synonymous, and identical also with the type of 

 Walker's genus Chahora. Azeta differs from Chahoj-a in the 

 female (the male of A. uncas is, at present, unknown to me) 

 having more evidently ciliated antennae, a decidedly longer third 

 joint to the palpi, more hairy legs, with stouter spurs, and with 

 decidedly shorter discoidal cells to the wings.
