THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 427 



can say, but according to Mr. Grossbeck (Ent. News, XVIII, p. 347), this 

 is what he did. 



Latipennis is nearly allied to E. castigata, which replaces it in the 

 west, and also to E. implicata, Walker, with which, as I have said above, 

 it may be identical. 



The last of Hulst's species is E. plumbaria (Can. Ent., XXXII, p. 

 102). This is very inadequately described. The type, however (taken 

 in the District of Columbia, July 5), is still in the U. S. National Museum, 

 and is in fair condition. It is a small species of the group of E. Erostiata 

 and E. confor mata, but I have not been able to match it with any speci- 

 mens in my own collection. This group is either made up of a number 

 of nearly allied species or of one very variable one. My material is not 

 sufficiently large to enable me to determine this point to my satisfaction. 



Since the publication of Dyar's List 13 additional species have been 

 described from eastern localities. 



In order of publication these are : 



1906. Youngata, Taylor. 1908. filmata, Pearsall. 



1907. Fletcherata, Taylor. 1908. Catskillata, Pearsall. 

 1907. Swettii, Grossbeck. 1908. erpata, Pearsall. 

 1907. Taylorata, Swett. 1908. meritata, Pearsall. 

 1907. Frostiata, Swett. 1908. Russellata, Swett. 



1907. Grossbeckiata, Swett. 1908. Brauneata, Swett. 



1908. conformata, Pearsall. . 



The first three are good species and very distinct, Taylorata, 

 Catskillata and Brauneata I have so far failed to indentify among the 

 forms in my collection. 



Grossbeckiata is a redescription of nebulosa, Hulst (part), and there- 

 fore sinks to miserulata, Grote. Frostiata is a good species, but conformata 

 and Russellata are evidently, from the descriptions, very near to it, though 

 I would hesitate to unite them without actual comparison of the types. 

 Filmata is a very distinct form, well characterized by Mr. Pearsall. On 

 the other hand, meritata is the same as coagulata, Gue'nee, as represented 

 by Packard's smaller $ type of geminata and erpata, seems to me very 

 close indeed to palpata, Packard, but here again I am judging merely by 

 the published descriptions, not having seen the types. It now remains for 

 me to make some additions to our lengthening list.
