Remarks. — This and the following three species have been confused 

 repeatedly in collections because of the difficulty of separating them 

 on superficial characters. The moths of all four intergrade to some 

 extent, but dimorpheUa, and less so lecontella, can be distinguished 

 rather readily. Under the respective species I have discussed their 

 separation from robinieUa. 



I have described what I consider to be typical rohinielJa. It must 

 be borne in mind that there is considerable variation between speci- 

 mens and that many lack the red coloration found in tlie typical 

 form. The characters I have used in the key, and those I have dis- 

 cussed in my remarks under the various species, should suffice to 

 place any doubtful specimens.
