species, but I would not change therefore any names already in use. 

 Especially do I think it unadvisable to place the termination after a proper 

 name. I should call the E7idropia^ E. Warneri, not E. War?ieraria. 



To the following names of our species the reference to the plate is 

 given where they have been figured. The type of Eutrapela is the Euro- 

 pean Limaria. I would therefore retain Guenee's name Choerodes for the 

 genus of which Transversata is the type. With this, our highest Geo- 

 metrid, I would commence the family. Dr. Packard begins with the 

 lowest genera. The Brooklyn " Check List " is, in the main, a transcrip- 

 tion of Packard, and, in this family, reverses its ordinary procedure, which 

 is to commence with the supposed highest genera and end with the 

 lowest.

This is a well known insect, the most simply marked and delicately 

 colored of the genus, and also one of our largest species. The larva is 

 described by Mr, Goodell, Can. Ent. 9, 62. It was found on the Sweet 

 Fern ( Cotnptonia Aspleftifolia). The moth is figured in Dr. Packard's 

 Monograph. Unless the types are in the Philadelphia collection, I do 

 not know where they now are, the species being described so long 

 (eighteen years) ago. It is of little consequence, as there is no doubt 

 about it.

 1767, pi. 2, fig. II, $. 



Dr. Packard figures the ^ , plate 12, fig. 47, and refers the moth to 

 Tetrads. The original figure is colored. The type may be in the Central 

 Park collection, and is then probably injured, as the " Grote & Robin- 

 son " collection, deposited there, has had little attention. There is no 

 doubt as to the species, which is not rare in Western collections.

 pi. I, fig. I, ^. 



The original figure is colored. The type in my collection. Dr 

 Packard keeps our name, but the Brooklyn Check List puts aria after it 

 quite unnecessarily. Dr. Packard figures the ^, plate 12, fig. 35. I do 

 not know the female. 



Drepanodes Sesqnilinea Grote. 



Dr. Packard figures the ^ under the name varus, plate 12, fig. 36.
