synonymy of the genera of Noctuites. 671

 Mamestra stoliczhc of Moore must be referred to this 

 genus : in form it agrees best with A. heaiiii, Grots.

 1. Pachetra illocata. 

 Hadena illocata, Walker, Lep. Het., xi , p. 758 (1857).

xi., p. 726 (1857). 

 Europe. Coll. B. M. 

 Mr. Moore's genus Karana should be placed here. 



Dichonia, Hiibn. 

 D. convergens does not differ from Mamestra: D. 

 cBrvginea therefore becomes the type of T)icho)iia. 

 Walker founded a genus Horma for D. (eruginea, but 

 the specimens from which he described his genus were 

 not what he supposed, but identical with Derthisa 

 scoriacea, so that Horma must be suppressed.

 1. Eumichtis plena. 

 <? , Erana 'plena, Walker, Lep. Het., Suppl., 3, p. 741 



(1865).
