The type from Florida is identical with the species 

 subsequently described by Walker and Grote. 



Nonagria irregularis, Walker, and Leucania proscripta, 

 Walker, may be referred to this genus. 



NONAGBIA, Ochs. 



"Nonagria" geminipuncta, Hatchett (an example of 

 which stood in Zeller's series of N. nexa), has simple 

 antennae, and is congeneric with Oria (Tapinostola) 

 fulva. 



OMMATOSTOLA, Grote. 



I have been obliged to extend this genus to include 

 the following, most of them hitherto having been placed 

 under Nonagria : N. cannae, lutosa, sparganii, arundinis, 

 polita of Walker (Shanghai), nexa, propria, Wlk. (New 

 Zealand), photophila, Butl. (Hawaiian Islands), semi- 

 vittata t Wlk. (New Zealand). The antennae of these 

 species are of the same character as those of 0. lintneri, 

 being thicker and more densely ciliated than in the 

 little dull-coloured species which remain in Nonagria, 

 viz. : N. dissoluta, Treit., punctifinis, Walk., and neurica, 

 Hiibn. The Leucania sulcana of Fereday, which vaguely 

 resembles 0. semivittata, appears to me to be an 

 Arsilonche ; it is a little more developed in every way 

 than A. albovenosa, the palpi, antennae, legs, and wings 

 being all longer; the primaries are buff instead of 

 greyish or whity-brown, and the secondaries and abdo- 

 men are blackish instead of pure white ; the pattern of 

 the primaries, however, is almost identical.
