Eemarks. — Dryobota fihulata Morr., B. B. S. K S. 112, 1874, is not a 

 Dryohota. I have seen the type, but could not examine it carefully ; it 

 seemed to me close to Icucoscelis, if not the same. Hadena rasilis Morr. 

 P. B. S. ]Sr. H. 158, 1874, I would refer to Caradrina. I have referred 

 Hadena minuscula Morr. P. A. N. S. P. 431, 1875, to Parastichtis. Hadena 

 congermana Morr. Can. Ent. 6, 106, has hairy eyes, and I have, I am sure 

 correctly, referred it to Mamestra ; it comes so closeto vindemialis, that 

 it has been suspected a form of that species, although there are not 

 enough facts to support this view. Hadena norma Morr., Can. Ent. 7, 

 216, is the same as Eustrotia mariae, and I would refer it to Uiistrotia 

 {Erastria of Authors). The species commonly named arna in collections 

 is not certainly that species from Guenee's description. I have identi- 

 fied exesa (from Guenee's description and an outline drawing of his) col- 

 lected by Mr. Schwarz in Florida. It is i)0ssible that Monodes nucicolora 

 Guen., either belongs to this group or Caradrina. Specimens, collected 

 by Mr. Schwarz iu Florida, are in my collection, which seem to be Ha- 

 dena iKiginata of Morrison, and can hardly be this species of Guenee's, 

 whose description seems to cover a form allied to this and resembles in 

 some points Platysenta atriciliata. It is perhaps impossible to identify 

 Guenee's species without reference to the type, as there are several slen- 

 der ]S"octuids in our fauna more or less corresponding with M. Guenee's 

 description. The different species called " sectilis,''^ and one of which is 

 referred by Dr. Speyer (I know not on what authority) as " sectilis of 

 Grote," can none of them, I think, be identical with Guenee's species, 

 whose description I have not applied to any form. I have seen the species 

 identified as cariosa, by me, called "sectilis," but other forms iu collec-
