NoCTUIDiE. 
A. S. Packard has published (Proc. Portl. Soc. of Nat. Hist, 
i. pp. 153-156) an essay on the charaeters of the Noctuida. He 
considers that their true position is between the Bombycidce and 
Geometridce. He thinks they can only be naturally divided into 
two subfamilies, which he calls Noctuince and Catocalince, The 
first corresponds to the Trifidce of Guenee, with the addition of 
a portion of the Quadrifidce as far as Scoliopteryar, and the 
second includes the remainder of the Quadrifidca oi G uenee. 
MiLLifeiiE (Ann. Soc. Linn. Lyon, xvi. p. 22, pi. 87. figs. 1, 2) describes 
and figures Tapinostola bondii^ Knaggs, which he erroneously attributes to 
Doubleday. He also (p. 23, pi. 87. fig. 3-7) describes and figures Dasypolia 
templi in all its stages. He also (p. 38, pi. 85. figs. 3, 4) describes the 
transformations, and figures the larva and imago of Cerocala scaptdosa, and 
(p. 45, pi. 89. figs. 10, 11) of Cumllia xeranthemi, and (p. 75, pi. 92. figs. 10, 
11) of Ophiusa algira. He also (p. 69, pi. 92. figs. 1-4), describes the trans- 
formations of Bolina cdilinoj and figures it in all its stages, and (p. 78, pi. 92. 
fig. 11) describes and figures Euclidia minuta^ var. immuniia, Stand., from 
S. Ural. . 
Milliere also (/. c. xvii.) describes and figures, in all their stages, the follow- 
ing Noctuidce : — Leucania hispanica, Bell. (p. 4, pi. 93. figs. 5-7), Agrotis 
asMuorthiif Doubl. (p. 6, pi. 93. figs. 8-11), and Folia canescms, Bd., var. 
asphodelif Ramb. (p. 65, pi. 98. figs. 6-8). Ho also (p. 52, pi. 98. fig. 2) 
figures and describes Cucullia fo)'mosa, Rogeuh., and (p. 68, pi. 98. figs. 9, 
10) the larva and imago o£ AhiDiu albidens, II.-S. 
The following Noctuidce are described and figured by Frivaldsky, mostly 
with their transformations (Proc. Hungar. Acad. 1865) : — Agrotis fugax^
