synonymy of the genera of Noctuites. 671 



APLECTA, Guen. 



Mamestra stoliczka of Moore must be referred to this 

 genus : in form it agrees best with A. beanii, Grote. 



PACHETEA, Guen. 

 Pachypolia Polia and Dryobota (part), Grote. 



1. Pachetra illocata. 



Hadena illocata, Walker, Lep. Het., xi , p. 758 (1857). 

 Enrols plaviosa, Walker, 1. c , Suppl., 3, p. 725 (1865).

LAMPROSTICTA, Hubn. 



Chariptera, Guen. 

 1. Lamprosticta viridana. 

 Phalana viridana, Walch, Naturf., xiii., p. 28, pi. iii., 



figs. 5, a, b (1779). 

 Mamestra adjuncta, Walker (not Guenee), Lep. Het., 



xi., p. 726 (1857). 

 Europe. Coll. B. M. 

 Mr. Moore's genus Karana should be placed here. 



DICHONIA, Hubn. 



D. convergent does not differ from Mamestra: D. 

 ceruginea therefore becomes the type of Dichonia. 

 Walker founded a genus Horma for D. ceruginea, but 

 the specimens from which he described his genus were 

 not what he supposed, but identical with Derthisa 

 scoriacea t so that Horma must be suppressed. 



EUMICHTIS, Hubn. 

 1. Eumichtis plena. 

 $ , Erana plena, Walker, Lep. Het., Suppl. , 3, p. 744 



(1865). 

 2 , Dianthcecia viridis, Butler, Cist. Ent., ii., p. 547 



(1880).
