306 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [December, 



A type of Tephrosiafalcataria Pack, is in the Museum collection. 



Ephyra solitaria Wlk. 631, I have received from Florida, col- 

 lected by Mrs. Slosson. Ephyra stabilitata Wlk. 632, and Ani- 

 sodes repugnata^NVk.. 1577, all from E. Florida, are, I think, the 

 same, though varying somewhat in appearance. Macaria inap- 

 tata Wlk. 886, is also a variety. 



Tephrosia disconventa Wlk. 404, Cidaria lactispargaria Wlk. 

 1387, and Ypsipetes immersata Wlk. 1268, are synonyms of Nu- 

 meria frillilaria Gn. ii, 136. The type of the latter is in the 

 British Museum, as are the types of all the species Guenee named 

 from the material of Doubleday. 



Under Tephrina monicaria Gn. ii, 100, Mr. Warren has placed 

 an insect which is nearly identical with Aspilates fautaria Hulst. 

 The type of Guenee is almost certainly lost, so I am informed 

 by Mr. Oberthiir. The most, if not all, of the species from Cali- 

 fornia described by Guenee were from the Lorquin collection. 

 What has become of that collection no one knows; it is probably 

 all destroyed. No determination can therefore be made of these 

 species from the types. Guenee, however, left excellent descrip- 

 tions, and in the most of cases determination can be made with 

 comparative certainty. In the present case, as in some others, 

 there is some doubt, as there are several closely allied species. 

 But I am willing to accept Mr. Warren's opinion the more freely, 

 as it involves one of my own species, and will hereafter, till I 

 learn better, catalogue fautaria Hulst, as a synonym of moni- 

 caria Gn. 



Heterophleps atrosignata Wlk. 1457, is, I think, a synonym of 

 Thanonoma ivavaria L. It is nearly the normal form of T. 

 wavaria as found in America, though this differs somewhat from 

 the ordinary European form, the lines being more distinct and 

 blacker, and the color a clearer, less smooth cinereous. Theraf 

 peracutata Wlk. 1264, is a synonym of Halia subcessaria Wlk. 

 945, while Theraf bitactata Wlk. 1264, is a more heavily marked 

 form of T. wavaria L. I have little doubt that intergrades be- 

 tween T. wavaria L. and T. subcessaria Wlk. will eventually be 

 found, and the thus connected, as are T. subcessaria and T. 

 coortaria Hulst.
