NOCTUES. 
PAMILY LEUCANITD As. 
GENUS PARAUCHMIS, new genus. 
Allied to Auchmis, Hiibn., from which it may be distinguished 
by the less pointed apex of the primaries, and the fact that vein 5 
in the secondaries is not obsolescent as in that genus, but strongly 
developed. The fringes of the primaries are crenulate as in 
Auchmis. The style of the coloration of the typical species is 
distinctly leucaniid. Type, P. Swezthiz, Holland. 
P. smithii, sp. nov. 6. The upper side of the thorax is pale 
straw color; the upper side of the abdomen is ochraceous. The 
under side of the thorax, the under side of the abdomen, and the 
legs are cinereous. The primaries are straw color, with a subapi- 
cal and median horizontal brown shade. The median nerve and 
veins 2, 3, and 4 are black bordered on the edge toward the costa 
with fine silvery white lines. The fringes are dark brown. The 
secondaries are white tinged with pale brown near the outer angle. 
On the under side both wings are white, with the fringes of the 
primaries brown as upon the upper side. Expanse 35 mm. Dom- 
balok, April 12, 1895. 
FAMILY HEEIOTAIDA: 
GENUS HELIOTHIS, Ochsenheimer. 
H. armigera, Hiibn. 
Noctua armigera Hubn., Noct., ii., p. 180, Pl. LXXIX, fig. 370 (1804). 
One specimen, River Darde, Sept. 15. 
H. separata, Walker. 
Heliothis separata, Walk., Cat. Lep. Het. B. M., vol. xi. p. 691 (1857). 
The specimens before me have been compared with Walker’s 
type, and agree with it. The type came from the Navigator 
Islands, according to Walker, but the species is probably widely 
distributed, and may be identical with some other form, known 
more commonly under another name. The specimens have some- 
what the appearance of small and dwarfed specimens of HY. arimtz- 
gera, but the primaries are redder than is usual in the latter species,
