occur north of Georgia and Arkansas (Carroll Co.) and extends 

 southward to Florida and Texas. 



The two species with their synonyms and varieties should stand 

 thus: 



Catopyrrha coloraria Fabr. (forma xerna.) ^ accessaria 



Hubn. = cnientaria Hubn. 

 Var. dissimilaria Hubn. (forma 3estiva) = olenusaria Walk. 

 Catopyrrha sphaeromacharia Harv. 

 Var. perolivata Hulst. 



Ferruginosaria Pack, listed with coloraria under Catopyrrha in 

 Dyar's Catalogue, and Catopyrrha hulstii described by Dyar (Proc. 

 Ent. Soc. Wash., VI, 226, 1904) belong to Deilinea. Atropnnctaria 

 Walk, is said by Mr. Prout (Gen. Ins., fasc. 129, p. 250, 1912) to be 

 a synonym of Psendoterpna prninata Hufn. an European species, 

 the locality given for it, "East Florida," being incorrect. 

 Selidosema wrightiaria Hulst and S. inconspicua Hulst. 



In 1888 (Ent. Am,, III, 215) Hulst described Boarmia zvrighti- 

 aria from four males taken at San Bernardino, California, and in 

 1896 (Trans. Am. Ent. Soc, XXIII, 264), Chloroclystis inconspicua 

 from one female* also from California. In the Canadian Entomolo- 

 gist (Vol. XL, p. 344, 1908) Pearsall after an examination of the 

 type says this latter " proves to be the female of Selidosema zvrighti- 

 aria." While not contradicting this contention the present writer 

 in 1909 (Can. Ent., XLI, 194) cast a shadow of doubt upon it, and 

 in a discussion of wrightiaria limited the name to the type in Hulst's 

 own collection at Rutgers College. Incidentally he also remarked, 

 because the type at New Brunswick did not exactly correspond to 

 the measurement given in the original description, that Hulst may 

 also have had another species (Cleora agr est aria Gr.) before him, 

 and this proves to be correct, as a male type of ivrightiaria in the 

 Brooklyn Museum represents agrestaria. 



Recently I have had an opportunity of examining quite a number 

 of specimens both of ivrightiaria as limited by me and of the form 

 described as inconspicua. Though evidently nearly allied the species 



^ In the generic diagnosis of the genus erected for inconspicua, Hulst refers 

 to a male, but in the specific characterization he says he has one female only, 

 and this is borne out by the type specimen which is a female.
