556 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [October, 



I have come to the conclusion that Bronchclia lior/aria Fab. 

 must be placed as a synonym of Phahrna virginiaria Cram. ; 

 that Ephyra pendulinaria Guen. is the same as Arrhrostia 

 Inmciiaria Hubn. ; that Eumacaria brnnncata Pack, is one 

 with Hvpargvtis pnstularia Hubn. ; and that Acidalia raondi- 

 iaria Walk, (known commonly as A. cuucleata Guen., which 

 it is not), is the same as Eulcpidotis alabastaria Hubn. 



While there is some difference between the types, I have 

 concluded that Diastidis subacuta Hulst and Macaria rcspt't'sata 

 Hulst are the same ; that T/iai/niotioiua pcrrolata Hulst and 

 .PhasicDic licbitata are the same, that Phasianc mellistrigata Grt. 

 and Phasianc trifasciata Pack, are the same. There will almost 

 surely be a uniting of more species, as more abundant material 

 is obtained. 



Mr. Hanham, of Winnipeg, writes me that Eois inductata 

 Guen. is double brooded in that locality. 



Mr. Bruce says of Eucrostis viridipcnnata Hulst, " it is com- 

 mon on a boggy tract of land in Park Co., Col., at about 9000 

 feet altitude. It apparently feeds on Potcntilla, as I always 

 beat it from that plant. The green is dark, but so fugitive, 

 that it always turns yellow in dampening. They must be 

 spread before they are stiff or the color is gone." 



Mr. Bruce says of Melamcra magdalcna Hulst, that it flies 

 around the tops of pines at high elevation (10,000 feet), and 

 is extremely difficult to get, as it seldom flies low enough for 

 the net. It flies by day. 



Mr. Cockerell, writing from southern New Mexico, tells me 

 " the larva of Eucphyra scrnilata Pack, was found on heads of 

 ttigelovia gracilcns var. , at the beginning of October. It emerged 

 in the early part of November. The larva was uncertain, as two 

 or three kinds were mixed, but I think the larva which was of 

 this species was entirely orange yellow, the color of the flowers.'" 



Dr. Kunze writes me of Em plod a ccphisaria Grt. ' My speci- 

 mens were all taken in the San Francisco Mountains, Arix., in 

 bright sunshine, rifling the flowers of ]Vycthia sp. and Rnd- 

 bt'ckia hniccolata, the most at an elevation of <S6oo feet, some 

 as high as 9500 feet. I saw them on no other flowers. They 

 were taken between July njth and August 21! . Both this and
