108 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST, 



The $ type is in my collection from Alabama. Dr. Packard says : " A 

 careful examination convinces me that the males which I had heretofore 

 regarded as distinct from varus (labelled sesqiiilinea by Mr. Grote) are 

 really the males of D. varus, of which heretofore we have only had the 

 females." 



Drepanodes Varus G. & R., Ann. N. Y. Lye. N. Hist., plate 15 A, 



% 2, %. 



The type, with that of aquosus, was not returned by Dr. Packard to 

 my recollection. The original figures of both are colored. They are 

 regarded as forms of one species by Dr. Packard, who refers his Jtmiper- 

 aria as synonymous. I have little doubt that Dr. Packard is entirely 

 correct and that we have to do with a single variable species, which Dr. 

 Packard calls Varus, and which has received four names. The Brooklyn 

 " Check List " calls the species " Varia," which is entirely inaccurate, the 

 two words being quite distinct. 



Eiidropia Vmosaria G. & R. Ann. N. Y. Lye, pi. 15 A, fig. 4. 



Identified by Dr. Packard with Mr. Walker's Mad^isaria and Opone- 

 aria; probably also described by him as Astylusaria. We had previously 

 published the same facts, Tr. Am. Ent. Soc. 1868, p. 15, after our visit to 

 the British Museum. 



E?id?-opia Arefaciaria G. & R., Ann. N. Y. Lye, pi. 15 A, fig. 7. 



Larger than Amoenaria, of which in the Philadelphia collection I 

 determined specimens. Considered the same by Dr. Packard. I am of 

 the opinion that it is a variety, but not strictly the same as Guenee's 

 species, which is smaller and brighter. I do not think that Dr. Packard 

 has seen the exact equivalent of Guenee''s species because (as I recollect) 

 the Philadelphia specimens agreed fairly with his figure, while Dr, Packard 

 says his material does not agree with Guenee's figure, but perfectly with 

 his description. Dr. Packard's figure is Arefaciaria, agreeing with ours. 



Ellopia Bibularia G. & R., Ann. N. Y. Lye, pi. 15 A, fig. 8, ^ . 



Ellopia Pellucidaria G. & R., Ann. N. Y. Lye, pi. 15 A, fig. 9, % . 



Identified as sexes of one variable species by Dr. Packard and as 

 previously described by Walker as Ellopia sejtwiudaria. Dr. Packard 

 says : " If I had had Mr. Grote's types alone of bibularia $ and pellucid- 

 aria $ , I should have regarded them as distinct ; but with the addition 

 of other specimens of both sexes, I have felt compelled to unite them."
