I can discover no difference whatever between European,

Anytus, Grote. 

 This genus seems to me much more like Pharetra 

 (which I refer to the Arctiidcs) than to the Noctuidce, 

 but for the present I have left it where Grote placed it. • 



Anytus privatus. 



Polia privata, Walker, Lep. Het., xi., p. 521, n. 19

The first type is a worn example. The antennae of 

 males in this genus are extremely long, tapering, and 

 pectinated strongly to near the tips, which are naked.
