CORRECTIONS AND NOTES ON DR. DYAR'S LIST OF NOCTUIDS.—II Open

A. R. Grote · 1903

Page 99. Apatela . As might have been expected from the inconspicous markings and uniform gray colour of the moths, the identifications of species of Acronycta , described by Walker and Guenée, have proved difficult and often contradictory…

SOME CORRECTIONS TO DR. DYAR'S LIST OF NOCTUIDS Open

A. R. Grote · 1903

In Dr. Dyar's recent very full and careful List of North American Noctuids, Wash. Cat., pp. 98–247, are a few errors which I would briefly point out in this journal. They have mostly arisen from a neglect of a couple of papers in C an . E …

NOTE ON THE GENERIC TITLE TRIFURCULA Open

A. R. Grote · 1903

In my “Descent of the Pierids,” Jan., 1900, I have used Trifurcula , Stand., Iris., VII., 56, for a genus of Andean Pierids, but this name is preoccupied in the Lepidoptera by Zeller, 1848, Staud. & Rebel, Cat. II., p. 221. Staudinger stat…

NOTE ON CTENUCHA CRESSONANA AND VENOSA Open

A. R. Grote · 1903

In Sir George Hampson's volume on the Syntomids, Cat. Lep. Phalænæ, Vol. I., London 1898, Ctenucha Cressonana is referred as a synonym to C . venosa , but erroneously so. Both species inhabit our Nort American territory, but C . venosa has…

CALLOSAMIA ANGULIFERA Open

A. R. Grote · 1902

Through the great kindness of a friend, I have received cocoons of Callosamia angulifera . These are stemless, and at once distinguishable from those of C . promethea . This character bears out the theory (see C an . E nt . for April, p. 9…

TWO NEW SPECIES OF LEPIDOPTERA Open

A. R. Grote · 1902

Peridroma canities n. sp. – Form and markings of the Texan P . annexa , but of a different, dusty gray, colour and a little shorter winged. Primaries dusty gray, with a slight dusky shading along costa, against which the pale dots, marking…

ON THE USE OF EUPETHECIA Open

A. R. Grote · 1902

In reference to recent “protest” in the pages of the C AN . E NT . (Vol. XXXIII., p. 263) against a change in the generic name Eupethecia , I believe its abandonment, in favour of a Hübnerian name chosen cut of the Verzeichniss by Mr. Meyr…

CHANGES IN THE COLOUR OF BUTTERFLIES Open

A. R. Grote · 1902

While studying the specializations of the wing in the Papilionides , the general results of which are published in the Proc. Am. Philosophical Society, Jan., 1899, I found that Iphiclides , Ajax , Marcellus , etc., differed so strongly fro…

AN ABERRATION OF ACTIAS LUNA Open

A. R. Grote · 1902

My friends have not always forgotten me, but have occasionally sent me live Saturnian chrysalids, spun up no doubt with the intention of the insect to emerge in America. Instead, the poor deluded creatures appeared as months in my German r…

NOTES ON MR. LYMAN'S PAPERS Open

A. R. Grote · 1902

I was much interested by Mr. Lynran's careful paper on a species of Gortyna , boring in burdcck. If aerala , Lyman, is a good American species it shoutd have an alternative food plant, since the burdock is imported from Europe. From Mr. Ly…

NOTE ON THE GENERIC TITLE BURTIA Open

A. R. Grote · 1901

The generic title Burtia was proposed by me in the first part of the Notes on the Zygænidæ of Cuba, read February 12, 1866, before the Ent. Soc. Phil., and published in July of the same year. The genus is, however, incorrectly dated “1867”…

SYSTEMATIC ARRANGEMENT OF THE NORTH AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA Open

A. R. Grote · 1901

The first attempt at an arrangement of the N. Am. Lepidoptera, including a reform in the nomenclature, which I published in 1896, calls for some corrections. In the present list I have endeavoured to supply these, but, doubtless, there are…

CLASSIFICATION OF THE BUTTERFLIES Open

A. R. Grote · 1900

In the course of my already-published studies, the probabilities as to the homology of the last anal vein of the Papilionides primary have varied. From preparations of the pupal wing of the Hesperiades, it has become clear that the fork to…

A NEW CATOCALA FROM TEXAS Open

A. R. Grote · 1900

Catocala moderna , n. sp. Allied to C. viduata , Guenée, but very much smaller, and at once distinguished by the pale angulated band of the under surface of hind wings reflecting through on upper surface, where it appears as a faintly yell…

A NEW POPULAR NAME FOR CLISIOCAMPA DISSTRIA Open

A. R. Grote · 1900

In the January number, Prof. Slingerland proposes a new common name for the “forest tent-caterpillar,” and proposes “forest tentless-caterpillar.” The objection would be, that “tent-caterpillar” is an English equivalent for Clisiocampa , a…

THE NEURATION OF ARGYNNIS Open

A. R. Grote · 1900

In my examination of the types indicated by Mr. Scudder I have been quite unable to separate Acidalia niphe , Scudd., Gen. 101, from the type of Argynnis. This latter type, A. aglaia , L., is characterized by the second radial branch of pr…

THE DIPHYLISM OF THE DIURNAL LEPIDOPTERA Open

A. R. Grote · 1899

Having brought my studies of the neuration of the diurnals to a preliminary close, I wish to place on record here the conclusions to which they have led. The diphylism is founded on the following characters: A.–Butterflies having a short t…

IN RE SPILOSOMA CONGRUA, WALK Open

A. R. Grote · 1899

In reference to the present controversy my testimony is as follows: I examined, in 1867, Mr. Walker's material. This represented a form unknows to me, undoubtedly a Spilosoma , not a species or form of Hyphantria . I was so struck with thi…
