Illinois, and Prof. Lugger reports it as fairly common in Min- 

 nesota. My own types came from Charlotte Harbor, Fla. 



From an examination of a number of specimens I am now of 

 the opinion that Eustroma cuiii^cnifmn Walk, and E. explana- 

 t it i)i Walk, are distinct species. 



Having received specimens of Hypsipctcs albifasciata Pack., 

 which Dr. Packard puts as a variety of Hydrioiuow. sordidata 

 Fabr., I consider it not only specifically but generically distinct. 

 It belongs to 1-liidioria Hulst. 



-In Staudinger's Catalogue, No. 2686, p. 189, 1871, we have 

 a species catalogued without description as Cidaria lugnbrata 

 Stand. It is the same as the luctuata of authors, but that is 

 not the luditata of Hubner. But Moeschler had previous to 

 this, named a variety from Labrador as Cidaria obductata. This 

 last name was, therefore, the first name given to the species. It 

 seems the species ought, therefore, to be catalogued Cidaria ob- 

 duda Moesch., with Staudinger's form as the variety. 



In Rho. Het. N. A., Suppl. II, Dr. Strecker publishes quite 

 a number of new species of Geometers. How many of these 

 are good species I am unable to say. Gcomctra bcllonaria is, I 

 am certain, a synonym of Aplodcs obliqua Hulst. Sicya fansti- 

 iiitria is a variation of S. macnlaria Harr. Whether it is exactly 

 covered by any of the variations described by Guenee I cannot 

 say. Mannoptci-\'x fopazata is a good species, but belongs not 

 to Man)ioptcry\ but Gcnocalpc Hubn. 



I have elsewhere suggested that Acidalia frigidaria Moesch. 

 was a variation of A. indudata Guen., but, as I have since 

 learned, without sufficient reason. Having now males of both 

 species, I find, though very like each other in form and color, 

 the males distinctly differ in structure. 



Having received a $ of /\'</v/V<>x/>//<? .vvsifrana Hulst, I find 

 it is a Synchlora. 



I have also a Sclidox('ina CiU'rfllatuui Hulst, which shows 

 it should be catalogued under Clcora Curt. 



I have received from the National Museum a specimen of 

 l-'.ndropia bilincata Pack., with a label in, I believe, Prof. 

 Fitch's handwriting upon it, marked, Eiidro/>i<i jolni^uniria 

 Fitch. So it may be considered settled that the two species 

 are the same, Fitch's name having priority.
