 (Proc. Bost. Soc. Nat. Hist., XIII, p. 288, 1871, XVI, pi. I, f. 21, 

 1874) described from one female from California and referred by 

 Packard himself (Monogr. Geom., p. 426) as a variety of nigro- 

 seriata (note that ferniginosaria is described earlier than nigroseri- 

 ata) is a Deilinia and if not Guenee's fceminaria is at least Hulst's 

 celataria which is said to be synonymous with Guenee's species. 



Sericosema angulata Warren (Novitates Zoologicae, XII, 361, 

 1905) appears to be a typical Anthelia taylorata. 



Catopyrrha coloraria Fabr. and C. sphaeromacharia Harv. 



In Dyar's Catalogue of Lepidoptera Catopyrrha coloraria Fabr. 

 is listed with four varieties. A revision of these forms shows that 

 two valid species are concerned which are very easily distinguishable 

 from each other. One, coloraria typical, varies from pale grayish- 

 brown with a faint pinkish tinge, with darker brown markings (spring 

 form) to clear yellow with roseate markings and fringes (summer 

 form, dissimilaria Hubn.). The outer line of the primaries is rather 

 broad, curved, and more or less diffuse. Beneath, the heavy mottling 

 varies from brownish (coloraria) to deep red (dissimilaria). The 

 other species, sphcrromacharia Harvey, is also pale grayish with a 

 pinkish admixture and varies to yellow and olivaceous. The outer 

 line of the primaries is straighter, narrower, and more defined and 

 extends more toward the apex of the wing on the costa. Beneath, 

 also, the reddish mottling is reduced in extent and tends to form a 

 distinct and defined cross line. Occasionally, however, the entire 

 outer field is quite uniformly reddish except for patches of ground 

 color below vein Cu^, In the typical form of this species there are 

 two large black spots in the outer area of the primaries above, one 

 at the center and the other near the inner margin. Perolivata 

 described by Hulst as a variety of coloraria is referable to this 

 species but the black spots are greatly reduced in size, being prac- 

 tically absent. The variety was based on color which differed much 

 from the type form of coloraria but in this respect is identical with
