172 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



the front is white or pale yellow, as also are the patagia at their bases. 

 It belongs to the genus Nepytia, Hist, and seems to be rare. Dr. 

 Strecker (Lep. Rhop. Het. Suppl., 2, 1899) has described as Cleora 

 fu77iosaria a species which I take to be the same, although I have not 

 seen his type, but Dr. Packard's name has priority. 



That Dr. Packard had not always a correct eye for species, Mr. 

 Taylor has recently pointed out (Can. Ent., Vol. 38, p. 403) where he 

 separates from Cleora iimbrosaria. Pack., a species generically distinct 

 under the name oi Enypia Packardata, Taylor, and quite correctly, calling 

 attention to the error in the plate (Mono. Plate xi, fig. 33) as to the 

 pectinate antennae. I will go yet further. Referring to my notes and 

 drawings taken when at Cambridge, I find that three specimens were 

 placed under Cleora iimbrosaria, the first one, a $ , was without antennae, 

 but my note reads : " the stubs surely indicate simple antennae "; this is 

 Packardata, Taylor. The next one was a $ , pellucidaria or large 

 semiclusaria, in bad condition, without body or legs, and only one 

 pectinate antenna, also without label of any kind ; the third clearly a 9 

 of Enypia venaia, Grote. It seems clear to me that, supposing them all 

 to be the same, the plate of the first one was supplied with antennae to 

 correspond with those of the second, hence the error. 



After my trip to Albany, I discovered it to have been Dr. Packard's 

 custom to return his types when described to their original owners, and 

 since Cleora umbrosaria was described originally from a single $ taken 

 in California by Hy. Edwards, I visited the Am. Mus. of Nat. History, 

 N. Y., into whose possession his collection passed, in the hope of finding 

 it. There I discovered a single ^ specimen bearing an old No. 183, and 

 labeled "California," and a new one, "No. 12963, Coll. of Hy. Edwards." 



It answers in every particular to the excellent description of Dr. 

 Packard, and there is not the slightest doubt in my mind that it is the 

 type, but it proves to be a rather dark, well-covered $ of the species 

 afterwards described by Packard (Mono., page 454) as Cleora nigro- 

 venaria, having the extra-discal line heavier and the black dashes on the 

 veins less numerous, though they are present. Of course it has the 

 " heavily pectinate antennae " he especially notes. 



The female (Mono. Plate xi., fig. 35), to which he refers on page 453 

 as unknown to him, is an excellent figure of Spodolepis substriataria, 

 described some years later by Dr. Hulst.
