synonymy of the genera of Noctuites. 657 



2. Antachara phytolacca. 

 Phalana phytolaccce, Smith Abbot, Lep. Ins. Georgia, 



ii., p. 193, pi. 97. 

 Xylina inquieta, Walker, Lep. Het., xi., p. 632, n. 22 



(1857). 

 Prodenia ignobilis, Butler, Proc. Zool. Soc., 1878, 



p. 485. 



North and South America. 



This species varies in tint and in the prominence or 

 the reverse of the black stigma at the end of the cell of 

 primaries. 



3. Antachara albula. 

 Xylina albula, Walker, Lep. Het., xi., p. 629, n. 16 



(1857). 

 Laphygma orbicularis, Walker, 1. c., p. 719. 



St. Domingo, Honduras, Callao. 

 Allied to the preceding, though clearly a distinct 

 species. 



MORRISONIA, Grote. 

 1. Morrisonia ewingii. 

 Noctua (Xylophasia ?) ewingii, Westwood, Proc. Ent. 



Soc. Lond., ii., p. lv., pi. xx., fig. 1 (1837). 

 Cloantha composita, Guenee, Noct., ii., p. 114, n. 832 



(1852). 



Leucaniadentigera, Butler, Cist. Ent., ii., p. 542 (1880). 

 Australia, Tasmania, New Zealand, United States. 

 The last-mentioned locality is based upon a specimen 

 in the Grote collection, undoubtedly of this species, 

 labelled (( Morrisonia per acuta, Morr." The species will 

 probably be found to have a far wider geographical range 

 than has been supposed : Walker made the astonishing 

 blunder of identifying it with Drymonia dimidiata, 

 H.-Sch.

 Cloantha intermedia, Bremer, Lep. Ost.-Sibiriens, p. 53,
