Grt. I agree with Mr. Warren's reference. D. infensata Gn. i, 

 68, and D. ephyrata Gn. i, 69, I found are the same species, so 

 the oldest name yet known is D '. infensata Gn. 



The synonymy of Prochcerodes transvcrsata Dru. I found to be 



the same as stated by Dr. Packard, namely, incurvata Gn., 



goniata Gn., transnmtens Wlk. , contingens Wlk., transposita 



Wlk. Transmutens and incurvata are dark forms, contingens is 



yellowish, transfindens is striated and dark spotted. 



Oxydia vesulia Cram, has distichata Gn. i, 59, and peosinata 

 Gn. i, 59, as synonyms. Mr. Warren joins several other names 

 to vesulia, but having seen the types of Guenee I do not believe 

 them to be conspecific, as Mr. Warren puts them. 



Tetrads aspilata Gn. i, 141, and T. allediusaria \Ylk. 253, are 

 the same species with T. crocallata Gn. i, 141. T. aspilata has 

 the cross-line of the hind winos obsolete. 



Mr. Warren has established the genus Ctenotetracis for paral- 

 lelia Pack, and trianguliferata Pack. 



Eutrapela (Zgrotata Gn. i, 141, is not a synonym of Sabulodes 

 dositheata, as Dr. Butler seemed to think, and on whose authority 

 I united them; <zgrotata is our Californian species, and Ennomos 

 arsesaria Wlk. is a synonym; tegrotata'is, however, of Sabulodes 

 caberata Gn. i, 45. 



Apicia? deductaria Wlk. 237, Lozogramma atropunciata Pack, 

 and Drepanodes fernaldi Grt. are the same. The type of D. 

 fernaldi is in the Museum. 



Tetrads pandaria Wlk. 173, is a synonym of Caberodes major- 

 aria Gn. 



I agree with Dr. Packard that the following are synonyms of 

 Caberodes confusaria Hbn. : metrocamparia Gn. i, 137, rcmis- 

 saria Gn. i, 137, imbraria Gn. i, 137, superaria Gn. i, 138, /;/- 

 effusaria Gn. i, 138, floridaria Gn. i, 139, and phasianaria Gn. 

 i, 140. I add as other synonyms: Caberodes inicrlinearia ("in., 

 C. eldanaria Wlk. 170, and C. varadaria Wlk. 251. 



Apicia cayennaria Gn. i, 82, is not the insect known in our 

 catalogues as Caberodes cayennaria. It is Caberodes distycharia 

 Gn. i, 83. A. cayennaria Gn. has not, in my knowledge, ' 

 been taken in the United States. 



Napuca orciferata Wlk. 1693, is considerably darker than any 

 specimens I had seen before. It follows the arctic tmdrncv to 

 melanism, but is conspecific with Phasiane aborata \\\ . I'.dw.
