I894-] ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. 305 



Macaria ceqiiiferaria Wlk. 886, Macaria postrema Wlk. 887, 

 and Macaria morosaria Wlk. 942, are one species. 



Macaria consepta Wlk. 941, and comsimilata Zell. are the same 

 as Semiothisa prceatomata Harr. Macaria bisignata Wlk. sup. 

 1655 is, I think, a variety of the same species. 



Macaria termilataria Wlk. 884, is a synonym of Macaria cno- 

 tata Gn. ii, 69. 



Macaria proxanthata Wlk. 1642, and Aspilates? antaurata 

 Wlk. 1686 are synonyms of Semiothisa distribuaria Hbn. 



Tephrina gnophosaria Gn. ii, 99, Camptogramma? infectata 

 Wlk. 1332, and Macaria reduclata Wlk. 1654, are one species. 

 It was afterwards called Semiothisa casaria Hulst. Macaria in- 

 fimata Gn. ii, 81, is the same species, and is the oldest name. 



Mr. Grote described, once upon a time, a species, calling it 

 Aspilates gausaparia. The type is, I think, in Mr. Neumoegen's 

 collection. This is found in the Museum under the following 

 names, some applied to specimens very widely variant : Apicia 

 rithusaria Wlk. 102, from St. Domingo; Pyrinia tegularia Wlk. 

 228, from St. Domingo; these are put as synonyms of Drepano- 

 gynis ever s aria Gn. i, 93, from Chili, which, according to Guenee, 

 is the same as Ennomos cervinaria Blanchard, the oldest name 

 of all. Macaria palleolata Gn. ii, 80, from Hayti; Macaria in- 

 fuscata Gn. ii, 81; and Macaria santaremata Wlk. 917, from 

 Brazil, seem to be one variety; another is Macaria abydata Gn. 

 ii, So, with synonym Macaria acidaliata Wlk. 893. Still another 

 variety is Psamatodes nicetaria Gn., which has as synonyms 

 Ephyra proditata Wlk. 633, Tephtina confinaria Wlk. 959, 

 Epione Hboraria Wlk. 1495, Fidonia cyclata Wlk. 1669, Ephyra 

 li(ddiferata Wlk. 1574, all from St. Domingo, and Aspilates va- 

 garia Wlk. 1685, from Florida. I did not observe Guenee's 

 types in the Oberthiir collection, and do not know whether they 

 are rightly determined. Mr. Warren is authority for the refer- 

 ences, though he considers the different varieties named above as 

 good species. They seem to me, however, to be all linked in 

 together. 



Acidalia restorata Wlk. 726, and Aspilates subcolumbata Wlk. 

 1676, from St. Domingo seem to me to be the same as Macaria 

 ocellinata Gn. ii, 85. These are all probably the same as Ma- 

 caria heliothidata Gn. ii, 79, from Hayti. A type of Macaria 

 duplicata Pack., which is also the same, is in the Museum.
