Staudinger states (Stettin, entom. Zeitung, 1869, pp. 86-87) that Tapi- 
nostola concolor, extreiyia, Hiihn. He has established this by an ex- 
amination of the original types, and remarks that the type of extrema has 
blackish cilia, which he attributes to a very rare variation in pale-coloured 
insects, a second example of which he possesses in a specimen of Notodonta 
hicolora cf . lie is inclined to think that Hiibner’s unrecognizable figure of 
T. fulva is intended to represent a variety of the red form of T. helmanni. 
[These notes are translated by Stainton, Ent. M. Mag. vi. pp. 34-37.] Stau- 
dinger further {1. c. p. 88) remarks on the synonymy of Nonagria neurica, 
Hiibn. (fig. 381), N. dissoluta,y Tr., and anmdineta, Schmidt. Ochsenheimer 
separated a specimen of anmdineta in his collection as doubtfully distinct 
from neurica under the name of dissoluta, which name Treitschke applied to 
the excessively rare dark form figured by Hiibner as neurica (figs. 669-661), 
and subsequently described by Boisduval as hessei. Treitschke, however, 
considered all these forms to be one species. Staudinger thinks that there 
are two species, whose synonymy should stand thus : — neurica^ Iliibn., and 
dissoluta, Tr., = neurica, p., Hubn.,=^mej’,^Boisd., with var. dissoluta, Ochs,, 
Qo\\., = anmdineta, Schn. He also states (/. c. pp. 88-90) that Leucania caricis, 
Tr., = L. loreyi, Dup., and refers scirpi, Dup., and dactylidis, Boisd., to the 
same species as varieties. He also refers (1. c, p. 90) Agrotis corrosa, H.-S., 
and A. latens, Guen. (and doubtfully A. ignicola, Hiibn., also), to A. grises- 
cens, Tr. He refers A. latitans, Gu^n., to A. latens, Hiibn. He records 
(l.c. p. 90, note) the capture, by Frivaldsky, of an Agrotis intermediate 
between A. hyperhorea and A. carnica. He also refers (/. c. pp. 90, 91) Apo- 
rophylla ingenua, Freyer, A. scriptura, Freyer, and A. orientalis, H.-S., to A. 
australis, Boisd., as varieties. He proposes to call the English form var. 
hritannica. He also refers {1. c. p. 91) Xylina ruhescens. Men., to lambda, 
Fabr., and considers sofnniculosa, Her., and zinckenii, Tr., to be varieties of 
the same species. 
Herrich-Schaffer (Corr.-BIatt. zool.-min. Ver. Regensb. 1868) states 
(p. 116) tliat Laphygma macra, Gu^n., '^rohehXy—L. frugipcrda. Abb. He 
remarks (pp. 116-118) on the Cuban species of Prodenia and Perigea, and 
refers Prod, androgea, Gu^n. {nee Cr.) to P. commelituB, Abb. He describes 
(p. 147) Callierges simia, Gu^n., and regards (p. 148) Euthisanotia {Glot- 
tula) timais, Gu^n., as = timais, Cr., and the type of a new genus. The 
genus Norops, Gu6n., being preoccupied in lleptilia, he substitutes Euglypliia, 
Hiibn., for it. He describes (p. 150) Acontia aprica, 5 , and Chlorida vires- 
ccns, Fabr., and suggests that the genus CJdorida would be better placed 
with the 3£inores than with the IleliotJiidce. He suggests that Eumelia 
onagru^, H.-S,, may be a variety of E. lea, Gu^n. He gives tables of the 
Cuban species of the genera Eumelia, Hiibn. (Agroptila^ Gu6n.), Galgula, 
Gu^n., and Celceno, Gu^n. (preoccupied in Mammalia, H.-S.), pp. 161-163, 
These tables include descriptions, more or less full, of the known Cuban 
species. He also (p. 166) describes Arzama denm, *‘Wx. Supl. p. 646,” 
giving both generic and specific characters in full ; and (p. 179) Orodesma 
apicina, Gudn. He remarks (p. 180) on the characters of Plusia ou and P.
