168 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Various attempts have been made by Hulst and others to identify 

 implicata as something different to aniicaria, but so far I have failed to 

 find any form to fit the description better than does the ordinary 

 anticaria. 



F,up. misertiiaia, Grote, Proc. Ent. Soc. Phila., II, 32, 1863. — The 

 type of this species is apparently lost. Packard, who had seen the type, 

 placed his interruptofasciata as a synonym, but expresses some doubts as 

 to the correctness of this course (see Monograph, p. 54), and I think 

 that anyone reading the two descriptions carefully will agree that they 

 refer to different insects. I believe I have correctly identified Grote's 

 species. In the Packard collection, so Mr. Swett informs me, there is a 

 specimen from the State of Virginia, whence the type came, which agrees 

 exactly with specimens that I had named miserulata after a careful study 

 of the descriptions. There are, however, in the Hulst and some other 

 collections specimens of a different species which were sent out by Grote 

 himself as miserulata. But it must be noted that Grote said that the only 

 eastern Eiipithecia known to him was this species. This being the case, 

 it is clear that he could hardly be depended upon to accurately determine 

 specimens in this genus, and I don't think that we should attach much 

 weight to specimens sent out by him — some of them many years after the 

 original specimen had been described, and which do not agree with the 

 description. 



Several different species are usually confused together under this name 

 in collections, but the real thing is a rare insect and seldom found correctly 

 identified. 



The larva has been described more than once, but it is very doubtful 

 whether any of the descriptions really apply to true viiserulata. It will 

 be better to ignore them all. 



My specimens of this species are from Mr. R. F. Pearsall (No. 2), 

 Bronx, April, 1904, and from Mr. H. D. Merrick, New Brighton, Pa., also 

 taken in April. It seems to be rare. 



The species may be easily recognized by the linear black discal and 

 the very straight hind margins to the fore wings. (See note in Can. Ent., 

 XXXVII, 262.) 



Von Gumppenberg described a variety Cali/orniata, but it is in the 

 highest degree unlikely that any variety of miserulata should occur in 

 California.
