I have not seen the type. Mr. Grote mentions incidentally in the 

 Can. Ent., XXI, 124, that be returned it to Mr. Treat after description. 

 What became of it afterward, I can not say. The species is well known, 

 however, though rare, and can not be mistaken.

The type of Guenee's species is in the British Museum. The refer- 

 ence to Cramer's species may or may not be correct. I have not ex- 

 amined the matter myself, and simply give the Walker citation. Ot 

 course Cramer's name would have priority did it apply to our species.
