Staudinger enumerates six species of Tarache (Acontia) in the Euro- 

 pean fauna. As above cited we have eighteen. Of these, two, Nos. 12 

 and 13, were originally described under Thalpochares ; one of them I have 

 not been able to examine critically ( Arizoiiae). I have seen the type in 

 Mr. Edwards' collection ; it is frail and small, in ornamentation recalling 

 elegantula, of which I have been able only recently to see the type also in 

 Mr. Edwards' collection. Both these species need neurational study to 

 determine positively their generic location ; of elegantula I have only a 

 single perfect individual, the type of semiopaca, and cannot sacrifice the 

 specimen. Our fauna contains many handsome and noteworthy species. 

 Foremost among these are delecta, which resembles the species of Eudryas 

 in color and cretata and lactipennis, which recall Ciris Wilsonii. 



* From recollection of the type Mr. Walker's debilis is a variety of catidcfacta. 

 f This and the following were described under TJialpocharcs.
