Malacosoma texana Dyar, 1928, p. 623, pi. 86a. NEW SYNONYMY. [The 

 name "tsxana" must be credited to Dyar since there is no record that 

 Beutenmuller ever published a description. In Draudt, 1928, in Seitz, 1940, 

 pp. 624—626, texana is the only species of Malacosoma which is not listed in 

 the alphabetical list of the original descriptions of the American Lasiocam- 

 pidae. Collier, 1936, indicates that the name texana Beutenmuller is "?. 

 litt.," and it has not been possible to find any reference to the original 

 description in the Zoological Record or any other journal.] Type: Lecto- 

 type, here designated, male, Texas, Collection J. B. Smith. United States 

 National Museum Type No. 34884.
