REVISION OF MOTHS OF CARPOSINIDAE 21 



son, Pennsylvania, was found in the collections of Cornell University, 

 although a series of eight specimens with this label are present in the 

 National Museum as well as one in the American Museum. All speci- 

 mens bear almost identical labels, differing only as to date, and were 

 collected between July 4 and July 12, 1904, by A. E. Lister. Although 

 my decision may appear somewhat arbitrary, I have accepted these 

 nine specimens as being syntypes and have consequently designated 

 one as lectotype and the remainder as paralectotypes. My reasons 

 for this action are several: first it seems almost a certainty, although 

 now cannot be absolutely proven, that Forbes had examined this 

 material prior to the publication of his book and had at least partially 

 based his concept of the species on these specimens. The data on the 

 labels and the absence of any other specimens from the same locality 

 in other collections strongly reinforce this assumption. Furthermore, 

 these specimens are in complete agreement in maculation and size 

 with Forbes' original description.
