 author opposes Mr. Austin in his Presidential address Avhere the lat- 

 ter protests against ignoring varietal names. The author cites Le 

 Conte's article in Bull. Buff. 8oc. Nat. 8ci. 187-1, 2:20, in support of 

 his views.)

 Lilhocollelis deceptusella n. s. (allied to a-ataegdla) and discusses 

 L. Scuddi'rella, which he now distinguishes from aalici/oliella. Also 

 remarks on the American species of Lyonetia, referring Lith, 

 nidificausella, Packard's Guide, plate 8, figs. 19 and 19a, to this 

 genus.) 



Ekexch, G. H. (p. 70). Some new s[)ecies of Noctuidae. 

 (Describes at length, but without comparison with known species, 

 Dicopis vitis (of this also larva on grape vine, and inqid), Orthosia 

 f>irjnata, Heliothis lUinoiensis, all from single females.) 



I owe to Prof. French the privilege of examining his types of these 

 species. Dicopis vitis is nothing but Mavieslra distincta lluljuer; Helio- 

 this illinoiensis is Pyrrhia illiterata and Orthosia siguata is the species 

 I have identified as Glaea ((nclioceUoides (xuen., a form Avhich curiously 

 resembles Agrotis alternata but may be distinguished by the unarmed 

 tibiae. A. R. G.

 Mr, Edw. Burgess, "protesting against the pu])lication of such 

 names as appear in Mr. Whitney's recent paper on Tabanidae."
