Of these probably funeralis is the most rare, while morula, dactylina and luteicoma are very scarce. Harrisimemna trisignata, the only one of the genus, is a rather pretty moth • the three specimens I have were taken at light. It is not necessary for me to mention every species of Noctuidae which I have taken so I will just confine myself to the names of those which to me are considered of rare and of uncommon occurrence in the neighborhood of Toronto. In cases where it is possible I have mentioned whether the specimens were taken at " light " or at " ; Microcoelia dipotheroides, fairly rare, taken at light. Rhynchagrotis cupida, at sugar, very few taken. First time I took it was in 1896 • very scarce since then. Semiophora tenebrifera, one specimen at lighc. Feltia venerabilis, only one specimen, taken at light. Dicopis Grotei, one specimen taken at sugar, 13 June, 1896. Mamestra imbrifera. Took one specimen of this beautiful insect, resting on the trunk of a tree, on the afternoon of 18th July, 1896. Mamestra purpurissata, 1 sp. at light. Mamestra grandis, 2 sp. at light. Mamestra adjuncta, 1 sp. at light. Mamestra latex, 1 sp. at light, 30th May, 1895, and one 9th May, 1896. Mamestra rosea, very rare, two sp. at light, last capture 26th May, 1897. Hadena lignicolor, rather uncommon, taken at sugar in Jane and July, 1895. Dipterygia scabriuscula, 2 sp. taken at sugar. Prodenia flavimedia, one sp. at light. Trigonophora periculosa, 1 sp. at sugar and 1 at light. Helotropha reniformis, fairly common, at sugar in 1896, rather scarce since
