204 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Cramhodes, Guen., appear to me to be only slightly aberrant 

 Leucaniidffi ; whereas Nolaphana is much nearer to Bryophila in 

 character, as already stated. 



Catabena, Walk. 

 Catabena Uneolata. 



Catabena Uneolata, Walker, Lep. Het. Suppl. 2, p. 631 (1865). 



Adipsophanes miscellus, Grote (see Check List, p. 33, n. 801).

The XylininaB and Cucullinae appear to me to be allied to 

 Xylophasia. Cucullia clausa of Walker, which was without any 

 register-label, and the locality of which was consequently unknown 

 to Walker, appears to me to be a dwarfed and worn specimen of 

 Eucalimia absinthii of Europe. 



Call^nia, Hubn. 

 This is quite distinct from Cucullia, the form, length, and 

 style of coloration of the primaries being entirely different ; the 

 pattern and character of the larvse also differ considerably. 



Callcenia lactucce. 

 Noctua lactucce, Schiffermiiller, Wien. Verz. p. 74, n. 7. 

 Cucullia intermedia, Speyer (see Grote's Check List, p. 33, 



n. 796). 

 Europe and United States. Coll. B. M. 

 I can find absolutely no difference between specimens from 

 Europe and North America. At first I thought that the New 

 World insect had rather a longer costal margin, and conse- 

 quently a more oblique outer margin to the primaries; but 

 Grote's second specimen does not show this difference. 



Xylina spoliata, Walk., Lep. Het. xi. p. 750, is typical Septis 

 mucens, Hubn. ; and Xylophasia sectilis, Guen., is a dark variety 

 of the same.

 This species shows considerable individual variation in size 

 and coloration. H. umbrosus also differs in pattern, the black 

 patches on the under surface being very feebly indicated and 

 narrower. H. succinea is exactly like H. umbrosus, excepting
