. NOTES 



ON 



Syneda Que., Leucanitis Que., and Bolina Dup. 



We have in the United States a number of species which we in- 

 clude in the above named genera, but which should be, in my 

 opinion, comprised in the genus Leucanitis Que. 



Mr. Grote separates from the genus Syneda two species- S. de- 

 durta Morr. and S. incandescens Qrote, and creates for them the 

 new genus, Cirrhobolina. 



I consider S. deducta to be a true Syneda (Leucanitis) being 

 very close to Graphica Hubn., — and S. incandescens I take to be 

 only a variety of the first named, differing from it only slightly in 

 the ornamentation of its primaries which difference is (somewhat 

 less marked) also in S. graphica. 



One species of Bolina occurs in Europe ? (Amur Region) viz : B. 

 fiavomaculata, Brem.\ but it is so very rare that even Dr. Stauding- 

 er states in his Catalogue that it is not represented in his cabinet, 

 and I very much doubt if any N. A. Collector has ever seen a rep- 

 resentative of the Genus Bolina. 



Mr. Grote in his "Check List p. 40 states- "the type of Bolina 

 is the European Cailino etc.," now Lederer (Noctuinen Europas p. 

 199) and Dr. Staudinger (Catalog der Lepidopteren des Europae 

 Faunengebiets p. 136) both put Cailino Hubn. in the Genus Leu- 

 canitis. 



I have, in my collection two species of Leucanitis from Europe, 

 viz: L. Stolidai^ad., andS. cingularis Hubn.. the first named close- 

 ly allied to L. limbolaris Qeyer, and the other nearer to nigrescens 

 Q. and R. of which last named ochreipennis Harvey is only a var- 

 iety. From general appearances Cingularis . and Stolida are
