Conclusion.—The North American species of this genus may be divided into three Groups, with several sub-groups. Group 1 comprises Pegala and all the larger species. Group 2 Silvestris and others. characterized by their small size, and the peculiar outline of the discal band on under side of hind wings, there being two long serrations against end of cell. This division will throw Meadii into Group 1, in which the band has a rounded prominence against cell. Group 3 comprises Sthenele only.

Anomis erosa, 19, fig. 287–288.

“Savannah.” I have identified this species from specimens taken in Georgia and Alabama. Hübner figures the variety in which the wings are orange except the s. t. space. Usually they are terminally darker shaded. The species is compared with A. exacta, by Hübner. Mr. Thaxter caught this species in Jamaica, W. I.

I desire to call the attention of Entomologists to a very valuable contribution to Entomological literature recently made by Lord Walsingham. The work is entitled Pterophoridæ of California and Oregon, and is published in an octavo volume very neatly gotten up, and containing sixty-six pages of letter press, fully illustrated by forty-eight colored figures on three plates. Forty-one species are figured, of which three do not belong to the Pacific fauna as far as known, but are given for convenience of comparison. Twenty-seven new species are described.

A few of the members of my zoology class and myself have taken here 821 specimens of Catocalæ in nine consecutive days, collecting from August 16th to August 26th inclusive, omitting Saturday and Sunday, during which no collecting was done. These were all taken in the afternoons, usually from one to four o'clock, by whipping the trees, and all within easy walking distance from the University.

Packardia Goodellii, n. s.

Entirely blackish with a faint brown shading about internal angle, where are two white unequal spots as in geminata. Fringe blackish, concolorous, interlined with pale and with a distinct white fleck or spot below apices ; this distinguishes the moth from any of the genus.
