followed and the only one which does justice to the authors of 
subsequently-erected genera. 
The following paper by Dr. Dyar was read by title : 
NEW NORTH AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA AND SYNONYM- 
ICAL NOTES. 
BY HARRISON G. DYAR. 
The following paper is in large part the result of a study of a 
collection of some 1,500 specimens of Phycitinae which Mr. 
W. D. Kearfott has placed at my disposal. 
Family NOCTUID^. 
Taeniocampa terminatissima Dyar. 
This species l proves to be synonymous with Trichorthosia 
parallela Grote, as Mr. Jacob Doll has kindly pointed out to me. 
The species is included in Hampson's fourth volume of the 
Catalogue of Lepidoptera Phalaenae, but the genus is not in the 
table. The spined hind tibiae and hairy eyes make the form 
characteristic. 
Family GEOMETRID^. 
Tephroclystia harlequinaria, new species. 
Fore wings light stone-gray with patches of light ocherous. . The largest 
patch occupies the space between veins 3 and 4, overspreading these veins a 
little and running to the fringe; there is a small patch at the extreme base 
of wing, a diffuse, indistinctly doubled one on costa at t.-p. line and a small 
one on vein 6 to outer margin. Lines blackish, waved, scarcely cutting the 
ocherous shades, marked by little black dashes on the median vein and on 
all the veins in the t.-p. line, which is regularly and evenly bent outward. 
Subterminal line fine, white, scarcely enlarged above anal angle. Discal 
spot black. Hind wings whitish on costal half, the lines distinct near inner 
margin. A whitish patch at base of abdomen dorsally. Expanse 21 mm. 
Two specimens, Victoria, B. C. (E. M. Anderson), Seattle, 
Wash. (O. B. Johnson) ; one of the types is in the Provincial 
Museum at Victoria.
