the third posterior cell is bisected on a level with the distal end of the 

 discal cell and the stump which projects into the distal portion of that 

 cell arises from the discal cell, while in ni</rifcnnis that cell is bisected 

 by a crossvein which is oblique to the discal cell and closes the proximal 

 part of the third posterior cell not far from the wing margin, the 

 stump arises from that crossvein and not from the discal cell. In both 

 (vv.r and halcyon the first antennal joint is red, the second and third 

 black, while in nigripcnnis the first and second are red, the third only 

 black. Cey.r and nigripcnnis fly in early or mid summer, halcyon in 

 autumn.

BOMBYI.IUS SUBVARIUS Johnson. The single specimen from White 

 Lake referred by me to this species (Ent. News, XXXII, 171) appears 

 to be B. fraiiditlciitits and not this species, hence subvariits is thereby 

 eliminated from the state list. 



*BOMBYLIUS FRAUDULENTUS Johnson. Raleigh, late May, CSB, June 

 14, 16, 1921, on flowers of Ceanothus. also the White Lake specimen 

 mentioned above. 



*BOMBYLIUS MEXICANUS Wied. Raleigh, late April to late May, 

 common, Southern Pines, April, 1907, FS ; Hendersonville, June, 1907, 

 FS; Blowing Rock, June 25, 1902, FS, Andrews, mid May, 1908, FS. 

 All these formerly referred to B. ranus under a misapprehension. 



BOMBYI.IUS VARIUS Fabr. All our previous records (Ent. News, 

 XXXII, 171) belong to B. mexicanus, except that from Charlotte, 

 which is of a badly rubbed specimen of azalcae. The species, how- 

 ever, still remains on our list as I collected one at Fayetteville, in 

 early June, 1921.
