In the Canadian Entomologist, Vol. 26, page 184, the Rev. Thomas W. Fyles described a moth as new under the name of “Botysurticaloides.” Mr. Fyles has been so kind as to lend me his type for examination, and it proves to be identical with Metrea ostreonalis, described by Grote in “Papilio,” Vol. 2 p. 73, where he states that the type was taken by Mr. L. W. Goodell, in Amherst, Mass., and that he specimen, and also another one taken in Bangorm, Maine, by Mr. Fred. Eddy.
