 G11G1160; I rely on tlio contiguity of the median lines on the eub- 

 niedian fold in our species to separate them specifically, lioth spe- 

 cies seem to be variable to a great extent in color and distinctness 

 of ornamentation ; it would, however, be incorrect with our present 

 knowledge to draw further absolute comparisons, while I regard the 

 character above given a very strong one. My single specimen of 

 socia has a slightly deeper shading over the subniedian portion of 

 the fore Avings something like that in ferrealis and signosa, and en- 

 tirely unlike any specimens of peticica that I have yet seen in this 

 respect. 



Note.— As Messrs. Lintner and Morrison have recently shown 

 before this Society, that the American species of Calocampa are dis- 

 tinct from the European, and as the determinations of Mr. Walker 

 were accepted to the contrary in the " List," this latter must be 

 corrected, and for the species cited on page 27 the following genera 

 and species substituted :

I hav>e received, since I prepared the " List of Xorth American 

 Noctuidae " for the press, Professor Zeller's second Paper on Xorth 

 American Moths. In this two species of ISToctuidae are described 

 and figured. They appear to me to necessitate two synonymical
