GraphipJiora (G. augur). They certainly do not belong to the 

 later group of Noctuites, to which they are generally referred, as 

 the radial vein of the secondaries passes through the centre of 

 the discocellular veinlet.* The larvc^ also have sixteen legs. 



Strcnoloma of Grote is not a Toxocampid, but belongs to the 

 later group of Noctuites, the radial being emitted close to the 

 third median branch. The black collar deceived Grote, as it did 

 me, in the case of four or five other genera allied to it.

This is only one of the many slight variations of this very 

 inconstant species. The same form occurred in Mr. Hocking's 

 series of S. ochracea.

 character for distinguishing the two great groups of this tribe of moths.
