From Key West I have specimens sent from Prof. Riley which 

 may be Acidalia nataria Wlk. sup. 1625; and also from southern 

 Florida other specimens which are probably Acidalia subquadrata 

 Gn. i, 459. 



Acidalia ossularia Hbn. has the following as synonyms: A. 

 temnaria Gn. i, 476, A. sublataria Gn. i, 474, A. magniferaria 

 Wlk. 784, A. flavillifera Wlk. sup. 1624, and A. repletaria Wlk. 

 sup. 1624. I fancy A. violacearia Wlk. may be the same insect.

474- 



Almodes rivularia Grt. is the same as A. terraria Gn. i, 380.

 list of five other synonyms. 



Conchy/is cretiferana Wlk., said by Prof. Fernald to be a 

 Geometer, is not a Geometer, but a Deltoid. The type has only 

 the front wings left, and these are very much faded. It appears 

 rx> be one of our common species.
