238 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Walker had this before him, with a yellowish ^ ftilvicosta. Mr. Butler 

 writes of this species: '^ H. conscita = vestalis va.x. = fiilvicosta \z.\

C. INTERRUPTO-MARGINATA De Beauv. 



According to Mr. Butler, this form has been previously described by 

 Peter Brown as clymene. The citation and description I have given in 

 my paper. This will please Mr. Lyman, since it does away with an ob- 

 jectionable name, though it has the disadvantage of compelling a new 

 association between name and insect. 



C. CLYMENE Esp. 



As this name was pre-occupied by Brown as above stated, the next 

 name in order of time must be used, and this is C. coloiia Hb. — not cited 

 by Mr. Lyman. 



C. CONSCITA Wlk. 



Mr. Lyman cites my name /aetata as a synonym — erroneously, I think. 

 Mr. Walker confused two, if not three, species under the one name, and 

 in addition referred them to the wrong genus. Such a species as that 

 intended by Walker never existed, and I do not think any point should 

 be stretched in his favor. Besides, Mr. Lyman is not consistent. The 

 same reasoning that makes /aetata a synonym of eonseita, will make 

 suffusa a synonym of rcversa — or worse — Mr. Stretch's description in- 

 cludes also eonfusa Lyman, and on this theory one part of Mr. Stretch's 

 species is a synonym of eontigua. I separated st/fftisa, and the name 

 stands for the remaining part, viz., eon/usa Lyman, which would remain 

 only as a synonym of reversa. I scarcely expect Mr. Lyman's adhesion 

 to this theory, but unless he so holds, my /aetata will stand. 



I propose in view of the preceding, the following synonymy, adopting 

 here my own order of species : 



1. CLVMENE Brown. 



interrupto-marginata DeB. 

 comma Wlk. 



2. COLONA Hb.
