Autographa labrosa Grt. (PI. VII, Fig. 14.) 



My material compared with type in British Museum. 

 Autographa corrusca .S'/zw/'^r. (PI. VII, Fig. 15.) 



One of my specimens was obtained from Mr. Strecker and is lab- 

 eled by him as agreeing with the type. 



Autographa arctica, sp. nov. (PI. VI, Fig. 11.) 



Dull brown, the only gray shades being along the costal end of t. p. line, and 

 at inner angle. The terminal line is also gray. T. a. line, three short outward 

 curves, below the median vein. T. a. line begins with a hook at costa, descending 

 fairly straight, inwardly bent, trembled. It is fairly distinct. The s. t. line black, 

 apical outcurve rounding. Orbicular distinct, outlined in black, lies immediately in 

 the course of the t. a. line. Reniform, outlined in black. Sign, golden, shaped as 

 in gamma. Secondaries brownish, lighter at the base, crossed by yellowish band. 

 Fringes cut. Expands, 32 mm. 



Hahiiat : Alaska. 



Type : 6258 in National Museum. 



Described from eight specimens found in the collection of National 

 Museum, Washington, D. C. Taken by L. M. Turner, September 5, 

 1880, at Alter Islands, Alaska. Co-type with the author, and Pro- 

 fessor Smith also has specimens. The species is allied to intcrro- 

 gaiionis, from which however it is abundantly distinct, a good series 

 of interrogatiiviis with its variations having been examined. The 

 genitalia also differ. 



Autographa verruca j^cr/v. (PI. VHI, Fig. 2.) 



Riiiila Walk., is a synonym. The type of Walker's species is in 

 the British Museum. 



Autographa precationis Giicn. (PI. IX, Fig. 6.) 

 My material agrees with type in British Museum. 



Autographa rogationis Gucn. (PI. IX, Fig. i.) 



Dyaiis Grt., iiicludcns Walk., and ha/nifera Walk., I accept as syno- 

 nyms. The British Museum adds the following also to the synonymy ; 

 eriosima Doubl., from New Zealand; ckrysosema Zell.; acuta Walk., 

 from Congo, South Africa; adjiiucta Walk., from Moreton Bay, Aus- 

 tralia. All of Walker's types are in the British Museum, but con- 

 sidering the localities I am not willing to assume any responsibility of 

 connecting so many names, especially so many from a single author. 

 I add citlta to the synonymy on the following evidence. I examined 

 the type of culta in the presence of Professor Lintner, and he gave me
