The writer would feel that he were lacking in courtesy were he 

 to omit to record his grateful appreciation of the fact — an im- 

 portant one in this connection — of his being received here and 

 elsewhere in entomological circles in London with the greatest 

 kindness, and afforded the opportunities of examining such in- 

 sects and books as he desired for his studies. Nay further, his 

 experience in Europe generally has been of such a pleasant char- 

 acter as to lead him to state that the American entomologist has 

 nothing but a kindly welcome to expect from his European co- 

 laborers.

Notes on the Noctuidae Described by Guenee in the 

 Saunder's Collection. 



By William Schaus. 



While working at Walker's American types in the Oxford 

 Museum I have come across the species described by Guenee 

 from the Saunder's collection, and I think the following notes of 

 interest to American Lepidopterists. 

 Perigea turpis Gn., spec, gen., Noct. i, 232. 



This species is a small specimen of Perigea sutor Gn., the type 

 of which I have recently examined through the kindness of Mr. 

 Oberthiir, and both refer to P. daufada Walk. = fabrefada 

 Morr. The species will stand in North American lists as P. 

 sutor Gn. 

 Eriopus rnonetifera Gn., spec, gen., Noct. ii, 295. 



Now placed in the genus Metathorasa Moore. 

 Ingura lunodes Gn., spec, gen., Noct. ii, 310. 



Correctly identified in collections. The species is widely 

 spread, common in Mexico, and will probably be found in Texas.
