OF WASHINGTON. 223 



but the one selected as being especially typical is a well defined 

 specimen of Sabulodes caberata Gn. ! Under the label Petro- 

 phora munitata Hiibn. are four specimens, two of which are 

 Rheumaptera sociata Borkh., one J^Iesoleuca lacustrata Guen., 

 and one Hydriomene latirtipta Walk. Under the label Seli- 

 dosema umbrosarium are 23 specimens, arranged in three 

 groups as if they had been sorted into subspecies, yet there are 

 at least six good species among them, including such heterogen 

 eous things as Melanolophia canadaria and Eucymatoge intes- 

 tinata. Nor are these isolated cases. It is now fairly evident 

 to me how Dr. Hulst could make such atrocious determinations 

 as he has formerly made. Indeed I wonder that, with his col 

 lection in such a condition, he could ever name anything cor 

 rectly. 



GEOMETRID^. 



Cysteopteryx viridata Pack. 



The single 9 specimen in the collection so labelled is a lightly 

 marked Nyctobia.* 



Eudule hyalina Hulst. 



This appears to be only a badly rubbed specimen of E. uni- 

 color Rob. 



Tephroclystis brunneipennis Hulst. 



The single type bears a label " Nyctobia" It is from Ala- 

 meda, Cal. (Koebele) and is a large c? of Percnoptilota jluvi- 

 ata Hiibn. 



Eucymatoge grandis Hulst. 



The single type is Hydriomene basaliata Walk. The spe 

 cies which I have been calling grandis^ following an identifi 

 cation made for me by Dr. Hulst, is really his E. grcejii. Cor 

 rection should be made accordingly. 



Hydriomene curvilinea Hulst. 



This is the same as H. occidcns Hulst, the subbasal and outer 

 transverse anterior lines being a little more distinct than in the 

 type of occidcns. The name curvilinea has precedence, though 

 it is an inappropriate and even misleading one. 



Hydriomene amorata Hulst. 



The c? and 9 types are in the collection and are the same as 

 Petrophora dcfensaria Guen.
