generalities and thus cannot be used with any confidence; for example, 

 the palpal tuft in the males of C. niponensis ottawana tends to be more 

 pronounced and acute than in C. fernaldana. The maculation of the 

 primaries is rather nondescript and variable, although the darkened 

 discal area frequently is more distmct in C. niponensis ottawana. 

 Another tendency which may be relied upon at times for separation 

 is the difference in overall size, with C. fernaldana being slightly 

 larger on the average. 



In addition to the lectotype, I have also designated five male and 

 two female paralectotypes from Pittsburgh and Oak Station, Penn- 

 sylvania, and St. Louis, Missouri. All specimens are deposited m the 

 collections of the U.S. National Museum. The original syntypic 

 series undoubtedly was much larger and many of these specimens are 

 still extant in United States National Museum; for example, the 

 National Collection contains eleven additional specimens from St. 

 Louis collected in 1906 by McElhose which probably comprised a 

 fundamental part of Busck's original series; however, I have selected 

 as paralectotypes only those few specimens which bore either a type 

 or cotype label.
