Polychrysia trabea Sm. 



This is very close to moneta of Europe. My European specimens 

 are from Germany and are somewhat darker, more orange colored. 

 My specimens of trabea agree with the type and are from the same 

 locality, but I have been unable to obtain male specimens, and thus 

 have not examined the genitalia. 



Panchrysia Huh. 



The type of purpuri-em is in the British Museum. The species is 

 well known and widely distributed. (PI. VII, Fig. i.) The types of 

 morPrera and palligera are both in the American Museum of Natural 

 History, Edwards Collection. I have seen no others. The type of 

 ornata is in the National Museum. 

 Plusia sereoides Grt. (PI. VII, Fig. 3.) 



My material compared with type in British Museum. 

 Plusia balluca Geyer. (PI- VII, Fig. 9.) 



My material compared with type in British Museum. 

 Plusia metallica Grt. (PI. VII, Fig. 7-) 



The type of mefallua is in the British Museum ; a specniien of 

 mine identified by comparison with the British Museum type of 

 metallica also agrees with the type of scapularis in Neumoegen Col- 

 lection ; it was then forwarded to Professor French who returned it 

 to me labeled lenzii, at the same time writing to me - this is straight 

 enough lenzii.''' 

 Euchalcia venusta Walk. (PI. VII, Fig. 11.) 



My material identified by type in British Museum ; striatella 

 Grote is the same species. 

 Euchalcia contexta 6^;-/. (PI. VII, Fig. 12.) 



My material identified by type in British Museum where the 

 species is queried, however, as a variety of /../«.v., an evidence of 

 the tendency towards lumping. 

 Euchalcia putnami Grt. (PI. VII, Fig. 13) 



Professor Smith in his Catalogue of Noctuidce records the type as 

 being in the British Museum. It is not there at present. The species
