Note 1. Wbile tbis List was passing tbrougb tbe press, Mr. H. K. Morrison 

 kindly sent me a specimen of an undescribed species allied to Actinotia. 

 On re-examining my types in tbis latter genus I find tbat two of tbe species 

 agree structurally witb Mr. Morrison's new species, and tbat tbey differ from 

 Ac. ramosula and tbe tbree European species of tbe genus, by tbe bairy eyes. 

 I dedicate tbe new genus to its discoverer : 



MORRISONIA, Orote (1874). 



Type : Cloantba evicta Grote. 

 evicta Grote ; Actinotia evicta Grote, List, p. 16. 

 vomeriua Grote ; Actinotia vomerina Grote, List, p. 16. 

 Tbe position of tbe genus will be after Actinotia. 



Note 2. Prof. C. V. Riley bas kindly sent me specimens determined as 

 Agrotis Cocbrani; tbey belong to Agrotis repentis ; tbe latter name is tbe 

 more recent. 



27 This use of this generic term is the earliest I find, and ante-dates Archiearis.
