654 Mr. A. G. Butler' 8 further notes on the 



Port Natal. 



This species, in the Zeller collection, is labelled 

 " Agrotis trisema, Z.," but I do not know whether he 

 described it. Walker incorrectly associated two examples 

 with two of an apparently unnamed species as A. albi- 

 frons, Hiibn., which, however, is distinct.

This is A. brocha, Morrison. I do not know which 

 name has priority. 



ANICLA, Grote. 

 1. Anicla incivis.

 United States to Brazil. 



This is proved, by a comparison of the type-specimens, 

 to be A. alabama, Grote. Prodenia pauper, Butl., de- 

 scribed from a female received from Jamaica, is only a 

 dwarfed form of the same species. 



2. Anicla ignicans. 

 Agrotis ignicans, Guenee, Noct., i., p. 274, n. 440
