NOTES ON THE SYNONYMY OF NOCTUID MOTHS. 281 



Euthermesia inexacta, 



Thermesia inexacta, Walker, I.e., Suppl. 3, p. 1038 (1865). 



T.funesta, Walker, ;. c, p. 1040 (1865). 



T. alacris. Walker, I.e., p. 1041 (1865). 



T. conficita, Walker, I.e., p. 1042 (1865). 



T. saturata. Walker, L e., p. 3 043 (1865). 



T. acljuncta, Walker, I.e., p. 1046 (1865). 



Antiblemma eanalis, Grote (see Check-List, p. 42, n. 1295). 



North and South America. Types in Coll. B. M. 



There is not the least question as to the identity of the above 

 supposed species, in all of which the same pattern is repeated, 

 with variations of ground tint, greater or less definition in 

 markings, and white, yellow, or black reniform spot ; the most 

 dissimilar forms occur together. The above synonymy will pro- 

 bably have to be increased when the Saundersian types are 

 known. Renodes latirena, Guenee, may be also this species. 



IsoGONA, Guen. 

 Massava, Walk., and Eutoreuma, Grote. 

 Isogona natatrix. 

 ^ Isogona natatrix, Guenee, Noct. 3, p. 323, n. 1786 (1852). 

 2 I. continua, Guenee, I. e., n. 1787 (1852). 

 $ Massava seissa. Walker, Lep. Het. Suppl. 3, p. 1110 (1865). 

 2 Eutoreuma tenuis, Grote (see Check-List, p. 41, n. 1291). 

 <? , $ . North and South America. In Coll. B. M. 

 Walker describes his M. seissa as a male, but it is un- 

 questionably a female. We have the male from Espiritu Sancto, 

 Brazil. Grote's specimens are both females, a little smaller than 

 the Southern examples, but not otherwise differing. 



Plusia, Oehs. 

 Plusia ni. 



Noctua ni, Hiibner, Eur. Schmett. Noct. pi. 58, fig. 284. 



Plusia humilis. Walker, Lep. Het. xii. p. 915, n. 61 (1857). 



P. extrahens. Walker, I. c, p. 929, n. 88 (1857). 



P. significans, Walker, I. e., p. 930, n. 89 (1857). 



Europe, Punjab, Darmsala, Campbellpore, Chekiang, Japan, 

 Aden, St. Vincent, St. Domingo. In Coll. B. M. 



Grote quotes P. brassiece of Kiley as a synonym of this 

 species, but it is far nearer to P. u-aureum ; as a matter of fact, 

 P. labrosa is much nearer to P. ni than P. brassiece is, but the 

 species are all quite distinct. 



Plusia daubei. 

 Plusia daubei, Boisduval, Ind. Meth. p. 159, n. 1281 ; 



Duponchel, Suppl. 3, p. 486, pi. 42, fig. 1. 

 P. indicator, Walker, Lep. Het. xii. p. 922, n. 74 (1857).
