HABITAT. Eastern, middle, and mitral States: Canada; New York 

 in July. 



The species was described from the Saunders collection and the type 

 is probably at Oxford. I think there is no doubt of the correctness of 

 the identification made by Mr. Grote. 



I. pygmaea Him.

 1880. Grt., Can. Ent., xn, 87, Ini/nr<i. 



HABITAT. Georgia. 



This species is not yet identified in our collections so far as I know. 

 1 have not tried to compare the figure carefully. 



I. cristatrix Gii. 



1852. Gu., Spec. Gen., Xoct., n, 313, ln<jura. 

 1857. Wlk., C. B. Mns., Met., xn, 875, Inyitra. 



HABITAT. America ? 



Guenee describes his species as from the Coll. Cie des Indes and 

 suggests that it may be East Indian. But he makes the same sugges- 

 tion also as to oculatrlx and it does not mean much positive knowledge. 

 I have not tried seriously to recognize the species.

HABITAT. Massachusetts, in August; District of Columbia and 

 southward; Kansas in September. 



Full life histories of this species can be found in the two reports by 

 Dr. Riley, where all stages are acceptably figured. By the dates given 

 it is evident that either the Ver/eichniss was not published until 1818, 

 or the names to be given were anticipated in that publication.
