23. From the description of this genus, Iam convinced that it is 
identical with Zanclogna‘ha. ‘The genus is based on a single species 
which I have not seen, but the characters mentioned by Mr. Grote cer- 
tainly do not seem to authorize it. 
24. This end the section De/forda as far as this division is concerned. 
I am perfectly convinced that even with those genera that I have declared 
bad taken out, there are still too many; but not until such time as I have 
at least 34 of all the species before me and ad// of the genera, can I say ex- 
actly how much the number should Le reduced. 
25. —Aenigma Strk, 
26. I am not sure that this genus belongs here. I have not seen it, | 
and the description is not so full as it might be. 
27. LP. longilabris: as already stated this insect is not congeneric with 
P. serraticornis, and approches very close to Pseudolimacodes: differs in 
the narrower head, the flattened palpi, and the form of the wings as above 
mentioned, 
28. =Eutelia Hb, Our species differ somewhat from the European, 
in the length of terminal joint of palpi and in having the primaries more 
distinctly angulated. 
Zoe — sala Ellb; 
30. Congeneric with Fpsia are Zale Hb., Pheocyma Hb., and #’seud- 
anthracia Grt. The only points of difference that I can find between these 
genera are the comparative size of the posterior thoracic tufts, the absence 
of all but the basal abdominal tuft in Pseudanthracia, and the comparative 
width of ths primaries; none of them satisfactory distinctions. Zade is 
most strongly marked, having the thoracic tufts largest, and the primaries 
bioadest, with rounded apex, 
31. ZLhysania is scarcely sufficiently distinct, to be retained as separ- 
ate; there are only two species (one of 7edus and one of Zhysania) known 
in this country and both of them expand nearly 5 inchés, and are our lar- 
gest Noctuids. Thysania has the fringes of the wings more dentate, while 
in L£yrebus the secondaries are somewhat produced at middle: there is a 
little difference in the palpi and some in the vestiture but scarcely enough 
to separate them generically. F 
32. =—Pyrophila Hb. 
33. Cirrhobolina Grt., Synedoida Hy. Edw., and MMelipotes Hb.; are 
not generically distinct from Syaeda,and taken together, all these are sep- 
arated from Leucanites mainly in not having the tibia spinose. Jd£- 
“polis differs from Syxeda in the stouter form, and more oblique outer
