The types are all in the TUitish Museum, and refer to the same spe- 

 cies. Curiously enough Walker, while referring both niniia and candena 

 Gn., as probable synonyms of cynica, redescribed a very obvious speci- 

 men of cynica as Ortltosin iccta.

 Scotia, west to the Mississippi Valley; Wisconsin; Canada and Massa- 

 chusetts in July. 



The type oinitens is iu Mr. Neumoigen's collection, that ot griscocincta 

 I have not seen; all the others save velata are in the British Museum. 

 Vi'lata is in the Coll. VA\t. Soc. of Ontario. The species is a Variable 

 one, but recognizable by the characters pointed out by me. Griseocincta 

 is in the National Museum from the Meske collection, and is an aber- 

 raticn rather than a variety. The form nltens is simply a somewhat 

 smaller and smoother type of the same thing. Guence changed his 

 name vecors to enervis in the index, because he had already employed 

 vecors for a Perigea. His substituted name has been used heretofore, 

 but I do not thiidv: the species are closely enough related to make the 

 change necessary. Both of Walker's species iu the British Museum
