44 INSECUTOR INSCITI^ MENSTRUUS 



paper, as it was obviously executed with a personal animus and 

 the slurs and derogatory remarks at my expense show that 

 any statements it might contain with reference to species de- 

 scribed or synonymy established by me would have to be taken 

 with a grain of salt. In this case, if fimbriago Stephens is 

 older than xanthindyma Boisd., no harm has been done; if 

 the reverse is the case, my forbearance has resulted in the per- 

 petuation of an error. 



No. 3464. This is called latipalpus Walk., which synonymy 

 was unnoticed by Schaus (Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 50, 373, 

 1916). This is presumably HydreUa latipalpus Walk. (Cat. 

 Brit. Mus,, XV, 1763, 1858) described from an unknown local- 

 ity. This synonymy should have been specifically published. ^ 



No. 3726. Apatelodes is referred to the Eupterotidse with- 

 out question. I think this action is somewhat premature. 



No. 4982. Hcllula phidealis Walker might properly be add- 

 ed, as it occurs in the south. Localities before me are : Key West, 

 Florida (Nat. Mus. coll.); Miami, Florida (Schaus coll.); 

 Everglade, Florida, April 10, 1912 (J. A. Grossbeck) ; Browns- 

 ville, Texas, May 17, 1904 (H. S. Barber) ; Augusta, Georgia, 

 October 17, 1898 (U. S. Dept. Agric). 



No. 5009. This synonymy is too sweeping. S. zinghalis 

 Walker, from Venezuela and the tropical mainland generally, 

 is distinct from huronalis Guen. {serinalis Walk.) from North 

 America and the Greater Antilles. (See Proc. U. S. Nat. 

 Mus., 38, 272, 1910.) 



No. 5307. This species is a synonym of holopluralis Hamp- 

 son. In pointing this out (Ins. Ins. Mens., i, 105, 1913), I 

 could not find the reference to Hampson's description. It will 

 be found, however, under date of 1904 (Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., 

 (7),xiv, 181, 1904). 



No. 5455. This is synonymous with Corcyra ccphaloiiica 

 Stainton, as pointed out to me by Mr. August Busck. Dr. Chit- 

 tenden sent me only dwarfed specimens for determination in 

 which venation was reduced, although he had normal large ones 

 in his possession. I therefore feel more like blaming Dr. Chit- 

 tenden than myself for the synonymy, although not wishing 

 to make a scapegoat of anybody.
