REVISION OF THE OECOPHORIDAE — CLARKE 157 



Remarks. — The British Columbia specimens, although larger and 

 more contrastingly marked, are otherwise indistinguishable from the 

 average specimens. 



Walsingham did not state the type locality when he described the 

 species, but it is presumably Orono, Maine ; several specimens before 

 me with serial numbers corresponding to that of the type bear that 

 locality label. The type label bears an "O" ( = Orono?) in Walsing- 

 ham's handwriting. 



The hooked macrosetae of this species are found on the European 

 strigidana also. These and other similarities lead me to believe that 

 inomata is only a race of strigulana. For the time being, however, 

 I am retaining inomata as a distinct species.
