impingens Dyar. 



1920, Dyar, Ins. Insc. Menst., VIII, 101, Episilia{\). 



A t3'pe of the former in the Neumoegen Collection agrees well in 

 color and maculation with the type of the latter in the National Mu- 

 seum except that the orbicular is missing in the type of manifesta. 

 Morrison's original description mentions that the spot is "sometimes 

 absent" ; and "anterior wings gray". "Its color varies considerably, in 

 some specimens being mixed with brown." 



With the original description in mind, it seems impossible to even 

 hold the name impingens as a form. Fifteen specimens before the 

 authors show a considerable range of color variation. 



Matuta youngii Sm. 



1902, Sm., Can. Ent., XXXIV, 29, Semiophora. 



The name should be restricted to the " 5 type" as the male type 

 appears to be a small specimen of janualis. The " $ type" and the 

 " ? type" are in the Smith Collection, Rutgers College. A female 

 "cotype" in the Barnes Collection is the same form as the " 9 type". 



Lampra (Lampra) exsertistigma form emarginata Grt. 

 1876, Grt., Bull. BuflF. Soc. N. S., Ill, 82, Agrotis. 



inelegans Sm. 



1890, Sm., Trans. Am. Ent. Soc, XVII, 43, Agrotis. 



A specimen compared with the type of inelegans (National Mu- 

 seum) is practically identical with a specimen compared with the type 

 of emarginata by Sir George Hampson (British Museum) ; (see Benj., 

 1921. Bull. S. Calif. Ac. Sci., XX, pp. 108 et seq. for bibliography). 

 Faculana Strand. (1915, Archiv fur Naturgesch., A, (12), 146), a 

 name applied to formalis ab. 4 of Hampson (1903, Cat. Lep. Phal. B. 

 M., IV, 632), may also fall into this synonymy. 



Lampra (Lampra) exertistigma form morrisonistigma Grt. 



1875, Grt., Bull. Buflf. Soc. N. S., Ill, 79, pi. IV, f. 8, fexscrtistigma, an 

 sp. dist.?, Agrotis. 



binominalis Sm. 



1887, Sm., Proc. U. S. N. M., X, 451, Agrotis.
