86 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 



Papal pema rigida Grt. 

 Papaipema harrisii Grt. 

 Papaipema purpiirifascia G. & R. 

 Papaipema pterisii Bird. 



Papaipema nehris Gn. Two specimens. Holland's figures of 

 nehris and var. nitela are reversed. 

 Papaipema tielita Strck. 



Papaipema f rigida Sm., and var. thalictri Lyman. 



Papaipema humuli Bird. Standing as circumlucens Sm. 



Papaipema marginidens Gn. Standing as rutila Gn. 



Pyrrhia cilisca Gn. Two pair. This is the umbra of North 

 American collections generally. 



Pyrrhia exprimens Walk. Two males and a female. An ex- 

 amination of male genitalia of this and the foregoing, mounted 

 by Mr. Tams, has strengthened my opinion as to the distinctness 

 of cilisca and exprimens. 



Xanthia flavago Fab. 



Mesolomia iris Gn. 



Trigonophora periculosa Gn. and var. v-brunnenm Grt. 



Cina'dia pampina Gn. 



Scoliopteryx Ubatrix Linn 



Enargia (Cosmia) decolor Walk. ( =paleacea Sm. non Esp.) 



Enargia infumata Grt. (syn. punctirena Sm.) 



Amathes (Orthosia) bicolorago Gn. and va.r. ferruginoides Gn. 



Amathes verberata Sm. 



Amathes pnta G. & R. (syn. curoa G. & R.) A series as curoa 

 and another as dtisca Sm., which is the same species. This was 

 also very badly mixed up with Parastichtis discivaria. 



Amathes aggressa Sm. Two females. These two specimens, 

 identified for me by Messrs. Barnes and McDunnough, appeared 

 to be very obviously distinct from puta, being both large and pale. 

 Other specimens which I have seen resemble that species much 

 more closely. The difference in the male genitalia points to their 

 being probably distinct. 



Amathes inops Grt. A few were under their correct name. 

 Some were mixed with Tapinostola inquinata, and scattered about 

 amongst sundry other species.
