AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 73 



Halesidota palpalis, Walk., p. 735, belongs to Anieles, Walk. A. 

 palpalis is at once distinguished from Ameles gortynoides (6Vira«/tts 

 (/ortyn.., Grote, Bomb. Cuba), by its clear yellow abdomen and hind 

 wings. A. gortynoides from Cuba is more nearly related to the Vene- 

 zuelean A. rubriplaga. As at present considered, this genus is limited 

 to the three before mentioned species, all of which have brown prima- 

 ries with clustered whitish or yellow spots, recalling the Noctuid genus 

 Grortyna. The secondaries are reduced and angulated in the % , larger 

 and rounded in the 9 •

T<uhina r<'«e/'a.sce?(s. Walk., p. 991 = Lochmaeus manteo, Douhleday. 



9 Cecrita guttivitta, Walk., p. 91)2, belongs to Heterocampa, Douhl. 



$ Hf'ferocampa varia., Walk., p. 10*2:^= 9 Het. astarte, Douhleday? 

 Heterocampa astarte, Douhleday^ is nearly allied to Het. obliqua, 

 Pack, (see G. and R. Trans. Am. Ent. .S'oc, Vol. 1, figs. 26 S , 27 9 ), 

 and the two, though perhaps identical, may be regarded for the pre- 

 sent as representative species. Judging by unpublished drawings by 

 Abbot, Mr. Walker's type of H. varia is the 9 of H. astarte, a species 

 fiiiured by x\bbot in the S sex, and with a 9 with which Mr. 

 Walker's type of //. varia corresponds. The B. M. specimens of H. 

 astarte are all males, and were //. varia, Walker, the true 9 of H. 

 astarte, the latter could be readily distinguished from H. obliqua. 

 On another plate. Abbot figures a female H. brunnea, G. & R., with- 

 out either the % , food-plant or immature stages. Are these all forms 

 of one variable species ?

 locldora vernata, Packard, is synonymous. Belongs to Parasa.
