Grote.} 158 [June 16, 
has one undoubted American species, but I am doubtful that I have cor- 
rectly referred Senta Deflecta, of which I have given a figure (which in 
some copies of my Plate is colored). My genus Ommatostola has been ex- 
amined by Dr. Speyer, and found to be valid as compared with the type 
of certain European genera not known to me in nature. The moth 0. 
Lintnert (the “Dune Wainscot’’) occurs on the shores of Long Island. 
Heliophila, the typical genus, has hairy eyes and smooth clypeus, 
matostola the naked eyes are lashed, and the moth is larger than any of 
our species of Feliophila. Following the law of priority, I have adopted 
this pretty generic name instead of Leucania, which latter is proposed by 
Ochsenheimer without diagnosis while he quotes /eliophila of Hubner as 
synonymous. Our species are very pretty. ubripennis is beautifully 
shaded with pale red ; Patricia is a lovely little Western form with a sil- 
very white stripe ; a few are obscurely marked and difficult to separate, 
but al! are very interesting. Unipuncta (the ‘‘ Army Worm’’) is a very 
destructive species in the East; Pallens is also Kuropean. The eyes are 
hairy, the body smoothly haired, the fore wings rather narrow and tend- 
ing to be pointed at apices. 
The genus Zosteropoda is remarkable for the long hairs on secondaries 
above and the tufted legs. Ufeus is an aberrant flat form, by the form of 
the wings referable here, but resembling Agrotis in the spinose tibie. 
Pteroisca, of which I have seen but not examined the type, is a rough, 
rather odd-looking insect superficially resembling Ufews, but which may 
not belong here. I do not know Thaumatopsis longipalpus Morr., nor 
Monodes nucicolora Guen., the latter may be the same as Oligia Paginata 
of Morrisoa. Under Leucania Guenée, without studying the structure of 
the eyes, has classified such a dissonant species as Pseudolimacodes Littera, 
probably misled by its color resemblance to some aberrant European /e- 
liophila. A. number of his species are not known to me, and the synony- 
my may be disturbed when these and the British Museum forms are accu- 
rately known. 
3. Scolecocampine. | first in the North American Entomologist showed 
the relationship of Scolecocampa, Hucalyptera and Doryodes, uniting the 
two former which are certainly very little different. The body is slender, 
linear, the palpi long, the legs long, slender, and unarmed, the fore wings 
pointed. The ornamentation tends to the development of a central stripe 
tapering to apices. There is certainly a species of Doryodes figured by 
Geyer, which may or may not be our acutaria, but seems to me that spe- 
cies. Guenée refers the moth to the Geometridw, but is corrected by 
Clemens, who takes occasion to sharply review Gueneé’s whole work in a 
criticism which has become celebrated from the notice taken of it in 
Europe. Zeller refers Phiprosopus also to the Geometride, but TI detected 
ocelli, and the neuration being also Noctuidous T referred the moth origi- 
nally to the present family and as allied to Calpe. [ think now the moth 
is best placed next to Doryodes from its similar form, but it is not without 
resemblances as to extra European genera which seem related to Oalpe.
