II. On Texan Lepldoptera collected by Mr. Belfrage 



BY LEON" r. HARVEY, A. M., M. D. 



[Read before this Society, July 9, 1875.] 



The material upon which the present paper is based was 

 received from Mr. G. W. Belfrage, Clifton, Bosque Co., Texas. 

 It consists chiefly of Noctuidae. 



A few years ago collections made by this gentleman, in the 

 same State, were examined by Messrs. A. R. Grote and C. T. 

 Robinson, who at that time published a number of species.' I 

 have published in the second volume of the Bulletin several species 

 from the same locality, reference to which is made in this paper. 

 There has also appeared in the proceedings of the Boston Society 

 of Natural History, 17, 209, a paper by Mr. H. K. Morrison, in 

 which a list of species is given as collected at Waco (McClellan 

 Co.), but which apparently are to be credited to Clifton (Bosque 

 Co.). 



Of fifty-five species there enumerated, the following five remain 

 unknown to me: Bryophila per cava ^ Agrotis Morrisoniana^ 

 Iladena relicina^ Segetia orhica^ Tarache te?iuicula. 



I rarely cite any of the remaining fifty species of Mr. Mor- 

 rison's, all known to me, except in cases when I adopt a dif- 

 ferent name or add a date of capture. 



With Mr. Morrison's paper and the observations of the present 

 article, an approximate idea may be formed of the character of 

 the lepidopterous fauna of the locality, so far as the night-flying 

 moths are concerned. 



In the preparation of this paper I have to acknowledge the 

 disinterested assistance I have received from Mr. Grote.^ 



1 Trans. Am. Ent. Soc. 1-5. 

 - 1 can find no description of this species. 



3 Treitsclike having used the generic name Lita in tlie Tiueidae, I now propose to replace it 

 by Litocala, for the Californian Lita sexsignata Harv.
