THP: CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 175 



M. geoffietroides, Walker. 



1854 — Walk., C. B. Mus. Lep. Het., II., 357, Meianchroia. 

 1886 — Edw., Ent. Amer, II., 9, Melanchroia. 

 Habitat — Key \Vest, Fla., West Indies. 



There are quite a number of specimens of what I take to be this 

 species, in the National Museum, from the Morrison collection, but they 

 have not been as yet incorporated into the systematic series. 



M mcojistans, Geyer. 



i837' — Hiib., Zutraege, No. 431, ff. 861-862, Melanchroia. 

 1854— Wlk., C. B. Mus. Lep. Het., II., 389, (?) Melanchroia. 

 i860 — Clem., App. to Morris. Syn., 298, Afelanchroia. 

 1876 — ^Stretch., Rept. Lep. Wheeler Exp., V., 802, Melanchroia. 



secreta, Wlk., Cat. Lep. B. M., 222, supp., Ardonia. 

 1876 — Stretch, Rept. Lep. Wheeler Exp., V., 802, pr. syn. 

 Habitat — Mexico, Arizona. 



The synonomy is from Stretch, as are the bibliographical references 

 to Walker. 



Genus Daritis, Walker. 

 This is also a recent addition to our fauna, made by Mr. Edwards. 

 The Mexican form is not uncommon in its home, but the variety de- 

 scribed by Mr. Edwards seems rare ; at all events there have been very 

 few specimens brought in, I have made no notes on this genus. 



D. thetis, Klug. 



1836 — Klug., Neue. Schmett., IV., f. i and 2, Euprepia. 

 18S6 — ^Edw., Ent. Amer., II., 165, Daritis. 



var. hoiuardi, Edw. 

 i886 — Edw., Ent. Amer., II., 165, Daritis. 

 Habitat — New Mexico, southward. 



I have given none of the bibliography for the original species, as Mr. 

 Edwards's description covers both species and variety. 



From this point the order observed in Mr. Grote's list of 1882 is 

 followed, not from any conviction that it is the best arrangement, but 

 because it is easiest, and because for the present purpose any order will 

 answer equally well. 



(To be conlimied.)
