CHANGE OF AUTHORSHIP OF CERTAIN 

 NOCTUIDS 



(Lepidoptera, Noctuidce) 



By a. N. CAUDELL 



The following Noctuidae, described and figured by J. B. 

 Smith in 1894 (Trans. Am. Ent. Soc, xxi) were figured in 

 1893 under the same names by Danby and Green in Bull. Nat. 

 Hist. Soc. Brit, Col., 17-18, Plate I, where they are entered 

 without description in a check-list and credited to Smith. But 

 the mere crediting of a new species to another does not convey 

 authorship, and as figures validate as well as descriptions, these 

 species are really creditable to Danby and Green, and the types 

 are the originals from which the figures were made (Entom. 

 Code, Pars. 28, 38, and 76).
