654 Mr. A. G. Bntlefs further notes on the 



Port Natal. 



This species, in the Zeller collection, is labelled 

 *' Agrotis trisema, Z.," but I do not know whether he 

 described it. Walker incorrectly associated two examples 

 with two of an apparently unnamed species as A. albi- 

 fruns, Hiibn., which, however, is distinct.

This is A. brocha, Morrison. I do not know which 

 name has priority.

This is proved, by a comparison of the type-specimens, 

 to be A. alahanue, Grote. Prodenia pauper, Butl., de- 

 scribed from a female received from Jamaica, is only a 

 dwarfed form of the same species.
