Extract

I was in error in referring these species as synonyms in 1894. The latter now stands as Tuerta sabulosa, Boisd., in Hampson's Cat. Lep. Phal., and is credited to New Mexico and California, besides other more southern localities. Very possibly the species may occur within the limits of the United States, but I have no specimens from our territory, all being from Mexico. Fenaria sevorsa, Grote is however, not the same insect, and the name must be restored from the synonymy. It has been subsequently described and well figured in the Biologia Centrali-Americana as Diamuna aedessa, Druce. This position, in the Noctuidæ, in undoubtedly correct, as the antennæ are shortly pectinated, without any trace of enlargement. The genus Diamuna is an Agaristid, and Druce's species is therefor improperly referred to it. The genus Fenaria, Grote must be subsituted for Diamuna, Druce (nec Walker).
