Smith, Notes to Synopsis of Noctuide.- —53— 
Capis, Gré. Can. Ent, Vol: X1V gpg: 
Antenne simple. Ocelli. - Labial palpi moderately projected, 3rd 
article short, a little depending. Form and outline of Svsyrhypena but 
the wings shorter and _ broader. 
| ‘These are all the structural points given by Mir. Grote. and my views 
of the genus or its description have been givenat p. 100, Vol. XIV, Can. 
Ent.: Mr. Grote’s reply to these views adds, eyes naked, tibia not spin- 
ose: the omissions are still too many to place the genus, 
These are all that to my knowledge have been described since the 
synopsis went into type. 
Those that I have omitted are as follows:— 
Argillophora, G74 Bull. Buff. Soc. Vol. I, p. 124. 
“Ocelli. Antenne simple, scaled, pubescent in both sexes, Lab- 
ial palpi porrected, curved, closely scaled, held apart from but not exceed- 
ing the front, divaricate. Wings rither wide and subangulate. Fore 
wings roundly produced opposite median nervules, below which’ the ex- 
ternal margin is cut inwardly to internal angle. Hind wings with rather 
determinate apices, full about median nervules and a little inwardly cut 
ibeareranialangles Primaries 12 veined pF ke He ae Blind 
tibia with double spurs. Body linear; abdomen exceeding the second- 
aries, with very minute dorsal tufts.” 
Compared to Spargaloma. ‘The omitted part of the description con- 
tains a minute detail of the neuration, which seems to present no striking 
peculiarity. The other characters given are not sufficient to enable me 
to place the insect into its proper place in the synopsis, and I have never 
seen it. 
Hucoptocnemis, G77. 
Eyes naked with hairy lashes. Antenne strongly bi-pectinate; front 
rounded ‘‘with a navel shaped knob:” .tongue present but short: head 
drawn in: palpi nearly horizontal, only reaching to about the middle of 
the eyes. Thorax stout, rounded and untufied. Abdomen untufted, 
reaching to the posterior wings. Anterior tibia armed on the outside, 
and at the junction with the tarsi with a long spine; on the inner side . 
there is a row of shorter spines, also terminating in an inner one at the 
tarsi, resembling that on the outside, . but considerably smaller. Middle 
and posterior tibia strongly spinose. 
This description I did not obtain until too late to incorporate it in 
the synopsis, nor do I recollect exactly where I obtained it, having failed 
to make a note of it. The genus is founded on Aehophobus jfimbriares,
