paper, and now only notice the most prominent characters of certain of 
the genera. 
Rhodosea differs from Alaria by the fore tibie having two terminal 
claws, else unarmed ; these claws are on each side at the extremity of 
joint ; the other two tibia are unarmed, although in my first notice I de- 
scribed these tibix as sparely pilose. The genus is remarkable for the 
apparent slight exsertion of the infra-clypeal plate at the middle, the shape 
of wings, palpi, give comparative characters to separate the roseate, most 
delicately colored moth from our Eastern genus Rhodophora. This last I 
keep distinct from <Alaria, the palpi, colors and pattern of the moth 
seem to me sufficiently modified as to warrant a different term. I 
draw in Porrima (proposed for Ovia), a term which I employed for 
Sanguinea, 4 moth to which Regia is allied, as not distinct enough 
from Lygranthacia, and, except as to the points here discussed, accept 
Mr. Smith’s conclusions. As to Cupes, it is admittedly out of place 
in Lygranthecia, and I keep it in Heliothis, to which it is at least as 
strongly allied, for the present. I used the narrowed eyes to separate cer- 
tain genera, and this character is adopted by Mr. Smith, who finds it of 
great value. It led me to classify Agrotiphila in this group, and-near 
Anaria. In this latter genus are one or two species (Submarina, etc.), in 
which the hairy eyes are not ovate but full, but which from the untufted 
abdomen and general aspect and ornamentation I cannot refer to Mames- 
tra. Oxycenemis is a bright gray moth, looking a little like a species of 
Oharadra or even a Dianthecta capsularis, which has short front. tibiee 
terminating in a single claw, and a posterior thoracic tuft of shining 
curved scales. It is thus allied to Zrdocnemis, which has the shortened 
tibial joint of the fore feet also corneous, but tridentate, a posterior thora- 
cic tuft, of which the scales are similar, while the moth recalls in ornamen- 
tation the European genus Oalophasia., Derrima, placed by Walker in the 
Acontide, which led me to overlook this description, has one pretty spe- 
cies Henrietta m., quite common in Rhode Island, where Mrs. Bridgham 
has collected it. After examining Mr. Walker’s type of Stellata, which is 
larger and with pink hind wings and an apparent slight modification of 
the markings of fore wings, I feel sure that it is only a varietal:form of 
Henrietta, though this was next to impossible from the description. I have 
seen no such specimen among hundreds of Henrietta which have passed 
through my hands, and the only approach to it was a 9: specimen, collec- 
ted by Mrs. Bridgham, which had a faint pink flush on hind wings. The 
genus Huecdwardsia is based on a fine species somewhat stouter and larger 
than Xanthothrix Ranunculi, with hairy vestiture, unarmed tibie, the clyp- 
eus with a projection below a cup-like excavation. The eyes are naked, 
the primaries are rather short and broad, with sharp apices. There will be 
a difference of opinion as to the value of structure in this group. I do not 
agree with Lederer in referring Pyrrhia Umbra and Ohariclea Delphinti to 
one genus. But there is no need of personal criticism, and no mental in- 
feriority or biological ignorance implied in separating certain species upon
