it is the true type there is not a shadow of doubt, for it 

 agrees, word for word, with Hulst's description of the species. 

 Upon further study, however, I find festa to be the same as 

 Mac aria acqnifcraria Walk., and it should be referred as a 

 synonym to that species. 



In this connection, I might also say that there are a few 

 other apparent discrepancies which require explanation. In 

 the Hulst collection under the name Macaria quadrisignata 

 Walk., are four specimens which are exactly like Cyiuatof>lwra 

 festa, or more correctly, Macaria acquifcraria^ Referring to 

 Dyar's catalogue we find quadrisignata as a good species of 

 Macaria (3679), and again, following Packard (Mono. Geom. 

 p. 285) as a synonym of Sciagraphia granitata Guen. (3647). 

 Thus, if we accept Dr. Packard's decision, who compared 

 granitata with the type of quadrisignata, we must erase the 

 latter from our lists as a species and leave it as a synonym 

 of granitata; but should the specimens in the Hulst collection 

 be the true quadrisignata, then it must be placed as a synonym 

 of M. aequiferaria. 



We have a somewhat similar case with Macaria dispuncta 

 Walk., which is given specific rank in Hulst's classification 

 (Trans. Am. Ent. Soc., Vol. XXIII, p. 331), and in Dyar's 

 catalogue (3687), and in the latter also, again following 

 Packard, as a synonym of Sciagraphia granitata. 



Selidosema correllatum Hulst. 



The two types of Macaria correllata (not correllatum) , 

 referred to Sciagraphia granitata by Dyar, have nothing in 

 common with Selidosema correllatum. They were evidently 

 labelled by Hulst with the intention of describing; but no 

 description has appeared under that name so far as I am aware. 



The two types of Diastictis scriceata Hulst are both females 

 of Selidosema correllatum. The ground color of the former is 

 very light in color, and thus the fine brown striations mentioned 

 by Hulst in his description show up more prominently than in 

 the latter. The outer transverse lines are also less curved 

 in scriceata, being almost straight. 



In Dyar's list correllatum is placed in the genus Cleora. but
