border to secondaries described as new by Hampson, and 

 that, therefore, the supposed type of chandleri in the British 

 Museum can only be the \ariety mentioned by Grote in 

 his description. I cannot agree as to Grote's figure. There 

 are two Colorado (Mead), specimens in the Museum, very 

 much aUke, one of them bearing Grote's type label. Grote's 

 figure might very well be of the other, though the secondaries 

 are represented too dark, it is true, but they are not dark 

 enough for poliochroa. I am not satisfied that the chandleri of 

 Hampson is not Grote's species. 



0. riparia Morr. (2046) described, b\' the wa}-, as a \-ariety of 

 chandleri, seems to be too close an ally of Colorado to stand so 

 far apart from it. Cibalis (2048) belongs in the same group. 



0. atrifasciata Morr. Piffardi Walk, is entered amongst the ad- 

 ditions as a prior name to Morrison's. The description of 

 Phornacisa piffardi (Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 3rd series, I, p. 

 312, 1864) which was recently accidentally discovered by Sir 

 George Hampson, has been previously overlooked by every- 

 one. It most obviously applies to the species subsequently 

 described by Morrison, and Walker's name label has been 

 found beneath the Nova Scotian specimen in the British 

 Museum, which, that being the locality mentioned by Walker, 

 is, by assumption, the type. 



0. cegualis Grote stands as a synonym of major, following Smith 

 and Hampson. Types of both names are in the Museum, and 

 I find it hard to believe that they are the same species. A 

 pair of aqualis from Eureka, Utah, agree with the type, and 

 I have a series of that in my own collection, but nothing like 

 major, which is figured by Hampson. I understand that there 

 is a type of major in the Neumoegen collection. 



Dunhari Harvey makes its first appearance in Oncocnemis. It was 

 redescribed as definita by the authors under Oxycnemis, but 

 later they referred the name to Harvey's species. I recog- 

 nized the type in the Henry Edwards' collection in 1910 as 

 a species I had previously seen in one or two collections, but 

 did not then possess, but I overlooked the fore tibial claw. 

 I now have a specimen from Vancouver Island. The form
