The type from Florida is identical with the species 

 subsequently described by Walker and Grote. 



Nonagria irregularis, Walker, and Leucania proscripta, 

 Walker, may be referred to this genus. 



Nonagria, Ochs. 



'^ Nonagria^' geminipuncta, Hatchett (an example of 

 which stood in Zeller's series of N. nexa), has simple 

 antennae, and is congeneric with Oria {Tapinostola) 

 fulva. 



Ommatostola, Grote. 



I have been obliged to extend this genus to include 

 the following, most of them hitherto having been placed 

 wadiQY Nonagria : — N. can nee, lutosa, sparganii, arundinis, 

 polita of Walker (Shanghai), nexa, propria, Wlk. (New 

 Zealand), photophila, Butl. (Hawaiian Islands), semi- 

 vittata, Wlk. (New Zealand). The anteunae of these 

 species are of the same character as those of 0. lintncri, 

 being thicker and more densely ciliated than in the 

 little dull-coloured species which remain in Nonagria, 

 viz. : — N. dissohitd, Treit., punctijinis, Walk., and neurica, 

 Hiibn. The Leucania sulcana of Fereday, which vaguely 

 resembles 0. semivittata, appears to me to be an 

 Arsilonche : it is a little more developed in everyway 

 than A. alhovenosa, the palpi, antennaB, legs, and wings 

 being all longer ; the primaries are buff instead of 

 greyish or whity-brown, and the secondaries and abdo- 

 men are blackish instead of pure white ; the pattern of 

 the primaries, however, is almost identical.
