 Hy. Edw. and centralis Walk, to Pyromorpha (Pyromorphidae); augusta 

 Hy. Edw. is a Euchromian, but it does not belong to Lycomorpha as 

 vein 10 is stalked on fore wings and 5 is present on hind wings. It 

 may form a new genus when this family is revised, or may come in 

 some genus at present unknown to me. It falls into Ctenucha in the 

 synopsis. From the description I think regia Schaus must go with it. 

 Of the other species I have seen but half, and they may not all be con- 

 generic. Judging from the above, they may belong anywhere in five 

 genera of three families, representing two super-families. But, assuming 

 them to be congeneric, they separate as follows. Those which I have 

 reason to believe correctly placed generically are preceded by an as- 

 terisk. Species not placed, chlora Schauf.

ARCTIIDiE. 



In my revision of genera (Can. Ent. XXIX, 212), I included two 

 with " vein 8 of secondaries wanting." This is not strictly the case in 

 the sense that vein 8 is wanting in the Euchromiidse by coalescence 

 with 7, for in the series culminating in Eupseudosoma and Eucereon it 

 has disappeared by atrophy, apparently, while in Bertholdia it is vein 6
