Walker's typo is in the British Museum, and is what we know as 

 lateritia. Dn the other hand, hot h in,si<jnata and (luhitans Wlk., do not 

 agree with later it la ^ but are exactly the same as Mr. Grote's spiitatri.v. 

 Insignata has been referred to both species at different times by Mr. 

 Grote.

IlAEiTAT. — Sierra jSTevada, California; Colorado, Manitou in June 

 and September; Canada, in July; New Hampshire. 



Types are in the National Museum, at Rutgers College and iu the 

 Neunuegen collection. The type of Walker's hisiynata described in 

 the Can. Nat. and Geol., I owe to the courtesy of Mr. Mottat, curator 

 for the Entomological Society oC Ontario. It is a very poor specimen, 

 but undoubtedly the species described by me. Fortunately Walker 

 had preoccupied the name in 1857 for a closely allied species.

Habitat.— Canada; Eastern, Northern, Central, and JMiddle States, 

 July, August, September. 



The types of all the names are in the British Museum, aiul the tyjie of 

 dubitaus is undoubtedly the same as sjmtatrix and not like lateritia. 

 The question of whether this insignata should be considered a nomen 

 his lectum need not be decided under the circumstances.

Habitat.— Maine; Wisconsin. 



The type is in Dr. Thaxter's collection. The plutonia of the British
