of the species in the collection. In the original published de- 

 scription the type of nanata is credited to the collection of Prof. 

 Snow. It is significant that both species should have been de- 

 scribed from specimens captured at Las Vegas, New Mcx. 

 Drastcria distincta $r? 9 9 Neum. British Columbia. 

 This is a variety of crassiuscula Wood. 



Synedoida cervina 9 Hy. Edwards. Arizona. 

 Synedoida inepta $ Hy. Edwards. Colorado. 

 Synedoida scniptilosa $ Hy. Edwards. California. 

 Synedoida insperata tf Grt. Arizona, Doll. 

 Synedoida nmcronata rf Grt. Arizona, Doll. 

 Synedoida cegrota 9 9 Hy. Edwards. Arizona, Doll. 



These are most probably the females of Hfelipotis perlceta, the 

 types of which, two males, are also present. These insects, 

 though described two years apart, were taken at the same time, 

 Mying in company, by Mr. Doll. In Smith's Check List, and 

 again in his Catalogue the name is wrongly written cegrotala. 



Synedoida morbosa $$ 9(9) Hy. Edwards. Arizona, Doll. 

 Synedoida valens $ Hy. Edwards. California. 



This may prove to be a synonym of insperata Grt. , or vice 

 versa, as it was described first. 



Synedoida sabulosa 99 Hy. Edwards. Arizona, Doll. 

 Synedoida punctella 9 Grt. Arizona, Doll. 



This is omitted from Smith's List, and there is no reference to 

 the name in his Catalogue. It seems to be synonymous with a 

 specimen in the collection labeled Tccniocampa vegela Morr. , a 

 specimen which Prof. Smith thinks is not a Ta-niocampa at all. 

 Evidently there is a snarl here to be straightened out. 



Syneda athabasca <$$ 9 Neum. British Columbia. 



Syneda occutta 9 Hy. Edwards. Texas. 



Syneda seposita $ Hy. Edwards. 



Syneda perplexa $ Hy. Edwards. Arizona, Doll. 



( 'in-hobolina perfecta $ Hy. Edwards. Arizona, Doll. 



Cirrhobolina mexicana var. vulpina 999 Hy. Edwards. Doll. 



Here again, apparently, we have insects taken at the same time 

 and place, described by Mr. Edwards under two names, one for 

 each sex. If this view is correct, the first name falls into the 

 synonymy as mexicana long antedated pcrfcc ta . 



Mclipotisperlaita $$ Hy. Edwards. Doll. 



jrdipotis tenella Hy. Edwards; $ Texas and 9 Colorado. Doll. 



Catocala aniica var. nerissa <$$ Hy. Edwards.
