Brownsville, Tex., very variable, but of a characteristic spe- 

 cific habitus. The Venezuelan specimen is not extreme. 



Percnoptilota fluviata Hiibner. 



New synonym, Plemyria mortuaria Schaus. 



I have not found the place of description of Mr. Schaus's 

 species, but his type is before me from Castro, Parana, Brazil. 

 It is a normal male specimen of this widely distributed insect. 

 Mr. Warren has labelled a male specimen Orthonana obstipata 

 Fab., which apparently gives us a still older name for our 

 species. 



Hydriomena latirupta Walker. 



New synonym, Plemyria paranensis Schaus, Trans. Am. Ent. Soc., 

 xxvn, p. 273, 1901. 



Mr. Schaus's type is a male of normal appearance. The 

 female specimens in the collection are labelled Plemyria fluvi- 

 ata Hiibn. ; this confusion no doubt accounts for Mr. Schaus 

 having renamed these forms. This species thus appears to be 

 likewise very widely spread. 



Gelasma masonaria Schaus. 



Nemoria masonaria Schaus, Journ. N. Y. Ent. Soc., v, p. 161, 1897. 

 New synonym, Chlorochlamys volantaria Pearsall, Sci. Bull., Brookl. 

 Inst. Mus., i, p. 214, 1906. 



Described from Mexico; Arizona specimens are not distin- 

 guishable. The reference to Gelasma Warren I find in the 

 list of the Schaus collection, and is to be attributed to Mr. 

 Warren, I believe. 



Synchlora cupidenaria Grote. 



Racheospila cupidenaria Grote, Can. Ent., xii, p. 218, 1880. 

 New synonym, Synchlora louisa Hulst. 



Grate's species was sunk as a synonym of Racheospila lix- 

 aria Guenee, and subsequently described as new in another 

 genus by Doctor Hulst. I have specimens compared with 

 Grote's type in the British Museum by Mr. Schaus and Hulst's 

 type of louisa before me. 



Racheospila ocellata Stoll. 



Phalana Geometer ocellata Stoll, Suppl. Cramer's Pap. Exot., pi. 



xxxiv, fig. 9, 1791. 



New synonym, Racheospila xystcraria Hulst, Ent. Amer., u, p. 121, 

 1886.
