The type of mollifera is in the British Museum and is correctly re- 

 ferred. Mr. Grote has placed Hormisa absorptalis to this same form ; 

 but this is an error: it is really Lltognatlia nubilifasda. The types of 

 effusalis and concisa are in the collection of the Entomological Society 

 of Ontario, and these have been positively referred to ci'mula by Mr. 

 Grote. The type of herminioides , from the same collection, was re- 

 ferred to Epizeuxis by Mr. Grote. If this generic reference is correct, 

 the description will apply to ceniula rather than americaiis, and I have 

 so referred the species.

 the n&me pulverosa in Walker's handwriting.
