Some time after I described the above species from a 

 single ? , I found while arranging my Amatidae ^ S S 

 Arctiids from La Union, which were evidently a species of 

 Automolis^ and agreed so well with what one would supj)ose 

 the c? fuligiyiosa to be like that I put them under that 

 species. In Mr. Mosses collection, however, there is a speci- 

 men labelled " Alt. Am.'' ( = Upper Amazons) which is the 

 undoubted J of fuliginosa, for it is exactly like the ? type 

 in coloration, and only differs in the fore wings being more 

 ])ointed and narrower and the hind wings shorter and more 

 tiiangular. Therefore the La Union insect requires a name.
