Pratt's identification 3 is correct. The longitudinal black stripe 

 is absent in terminellus, but present in my type of Candida. 

 It is evidently of no specific value, however. I adopt Pro- 

 fessor Smith's generic reference as the more recent and there- 

 fore probably the better. The species has apparently a still 

 earlier name in Axylia vitrina Walker, specimens of which 

 from Jamaica, before me, agree rather closely with our Texan 

 species, but I have some hesitation in referring our species 

 definitely to the insular form. 



Perigea roxana Druce. 



Mamestra roxana Druce, Biol. Cent.-Am., Lep. Het, n, p. 476, 1898. 

 New synonym, Perigea lucetta Smith. 



The species occurs at various points in Mexico and extends 

 its range into Colorado, whence it was described by Professor 

 Smith, two years later than Druce's description. I have six 

 specimens before me of roxana from Orizaba and Jalapa, 

 Mexico, and the male type of lucetta from Colorado. 



Papaipema pterisii Bird. 



Papaipema pterisii Bird, Can. Ent, xxxix, p. 310, 1907. 



New synonym, Gortyna triorthia Dyar, Can. Ent., XL, p. 79, 1908. 



In determining my species to be new, I had overlooked Mr. 

 Bird's description of pterisii, although I supposed I had read 

 the descriptions of all his species. Later Mr. Bird sent me a 

 cotype, among others, to be deposited in the National Museum, 

 and I at once recognized my species, but not in time to pre- 

 vent the synonym. 



Hadena patina Harvey. 



New synonym, Dipterygia minorata Barnes, Can. Ent., xxxix, p. 13, 

 1907. 



Doctor Barnes's type is before me, and is the dark form of 

 patina in which the fore wings are almost wholly black. The 

 species is recorded from the District of Columbia, Texas, and 

 Mexico; I have specimens from Florida, and Dr. Barnes's 

 record adds Arizona, as would be expected. 



Lophoceramica artega Barnes. 



Tricholita artega Barnes, Can. Ent., xxxix, p. 64, 1907. 



I propose the new generic term Lophoceramica for Tricho- 

 lita artega Barnes, the genus being allied to Ceramica Guen., 



a In a letter recently received Mr. Pratt refers the identification to Dr. 

 Wm. Barnes, through Mr. Lacy of Texas.
