A siiipjlo specimen ot brooil I. Irom Oiwake. 



Pint". Feniald records hrood IT. I'roni Xfw York and Pi-iiii- 

 sylvaiiia, and suggests that trisigtHiiut^ Uhsn., maybe identical 

 with broiKl I. In Staudinger and Wocke's ' (Jatahig ' the 

 Wiixw^ piii'isiana, iju.f is ado|)ted for brood II,, while Prol". 

 Feniaid designates this brood scabrana^ Crt. Curtis referred 

 Fai)ricius's Pyralis scahr nm to the genus Ijept'Mjnimma, and 

 Stephens referred the same name to the genus Aclris. 

 Neither nl' these authors published a new species as arahrana, 

 and as their names are now regarded as " erroneous in adop- 

 tion," they cannot be accepted as valid. 



Lepto(/int)itun /)an'siana,Gu. (1845), must sink as a syno- 

 nym of Lili/j)Jiijitera nlmana, D[t. (1884), the validity of 

 which is in no way atlected by the earlier Torlrix [Eudemis) 

 nhitana, lib. Should it be desirable to refer to the second 

 brood under a varietal name it should b»; called Boscana^ F.

A single specimen, which appears to be a dark variety of 

 this species, distinguished from others of the genus by the 

 distinct division of the teguUe into a dark anterior and a pale 

 posterior half ; in the specimen before me tiic ])aler portion 

 cannot be called clear white, as in tlie original description, but 

 1 am not acquainted with any other species possessing the 

 same peculiarity, and in a genus so variable I cannot venture 

 to describe it as distinct without access to the type or some 

 t'uitl^er reliable evidence.
