I liave vseen no types. The species is credited to "Boisduval in 

 Mus.," but was first described by Guenee. The types are probably 

 with M. Oberthiir.

I have seen no type. I can not find that Sanborn ever described this 

 species, and therefore credit it to Mr. Grote, who did so.

The above synonymy is after Walker, and may or may not be correct. 

 Dr. Bethune writes /rt?<'?'/era while Walker has it falciffera. I have not 

 seen the original description and am not sure which is correct. Mr. 

 Grote, however, also writes falcigera, and he has, perhaps, compared 

 the original work. The specimens in the British Museum labeled /W/- 

 cigera by Walker are vaccinii Hy. Edw,, and do not accord well with 

 the description copied by Dr. Bethune. It is, however, quite likely 

 that tlie species belangs here.
