The types are all in the British Museum, and refer to the same spe- 

 cies. Curiously enough Walker, while referring both n itn in and cundi'n* 

 Gn., as probable synonyms of cy>ii<-, redescribed a very obvious speci- 

 men of cynica as Ortltoxia tccta.

HABITAT. District of Columbia in August; northward to Xova 

 Scotia, west to the Mississippi Valley ; Wisconsin; Canada and Massa- 

 chusetts in July. 



The type ofnitens is in Mr. Neumosgen's collection, that of (jriseocincta 

 I have not seen; all the others save relata are in the British Museum. 

 V<>lata is in the Coll. Ent. Soc. of Ontario. The species is a variable 

 one, but recognizable by the characters pointed out by me. Griseocincta 

 is in the National Museum, from the Meske collection, and is an aber- 

 ration rather than a variety. The form nitens is simply a somewhat 

 smaller and smoother type of the same thing. Gueuee changed his 

 name vecors to enervis in the index, because he had already employed 

 vecors for a Perigea-. His substituted name has been used heretofore, 

 but I do not think the species are closely enough related to make the 

 change necessary. Both of Walker's species in the British Museum
