The authors are indebted to Prof. M. Draudt for calHng this syn- 

 onymy to their attention. Mr. Schaus has kindly compared one of the 

 paratypes of orhipuncta with the type of triphcsnoides in the National 

 Museum. 



The abdomen of the type of triphcenoides is laterally compressed 

 by shipment in paper. The types of orbipiincta show a dorsally flat- 

 tened abdomen. The species may tentatively be placed in Agrotis 

 Hampson and Auct. nee Hubner, falling in Hampson's keys between 

 subporphyrea and larga.

In proposing the name hollii, Mr, Grote states, "N. B, — There is 

 already a European species hilaris", thus sinking Agrotis hilaris Grote 

 as a homonym of Agrotis hilaris Err, 



Under the present International Rules of Zoological Nomencla- 

 ture a name sunk as a homonym can not be resurrected. The present 

 species should be placed on the North American lists as E. hollii.
