INSECUTOR INSCITI^ MUNSTRUUS 71 



micromphalis Hampson that I have no hesitation in pro- 

 nouncing it a synonym. 



4965. Sylepta brunialis B. & McD. is quite obviously a syn- 

 onym of S. ceplialis Walker. 



4962. I have seen no specimen that would agree well with 

 Lederer's figure of fluctuosalis. The species in our collection 

 over this name is Sylepta silicalis Guen. (see Hampson, Proc. 

 Zool. Soc. Lond., 1898, 720, for synonymy), which name 

 should be added to the list. 



4966, 1. Sylepta miamialis Schaus. I do not find that a de- 

 scription has been published. 



"Sylepta miamialis, n. sp. — Dark vinous red ; head with 

 a whitish vertical spot ; venter and legs white. Fore wing 

 dark vinous red, darkest on the basal half of costa ; discal 

 mark reniform, dark purple; inner line invisible, outer line 

 faint and slender, curving outward around cell ; a dark 

 terminal line; the fringe gray. Hind wing sordid, stained 

 with dark vjnous outwardly ; a small gray discal dot. Ex- 

 panse, 21-23 mm. 



"Miami, Florida (W. Schaus), 1 male, 2 females. Type, 

 No. 21153, U. S. Nat. Mus.— W. Schaus." 



4985. Sameodes adipaloides G. & R. should be given varietal 

 rank, I think. j ' 



5047,1. Syngamia florepicia' Dyar should be added.. I have 

 specimens from Raleigh, North Carolina, August 5, 1907 

 (C. S. Brimley) ; Hattiesburg, Mississippi, June 18, 1915 

 (J. W. Champlin). 



5055. Metasia argalis Fernald is made a synonym of D. ele- 

 gantalis Warren. I think this is incorrect. Specimens of 

 elegantalis, identified by Fernald, differ conspicuously from 

 argalis, the type of which is before me. Among other things, 

 the reniform of elegantalis is filled with white, while argalis 

 has a dark gray reniform. The hind wings also differ. 



5052 and 5056. Diasemia sephysalis B. & McD. and Diasemia 

 IcHcosalis B. & McD. correspond closely to D. particolor 

 Dyar and D. eruhesccns Hampson, from Mexico, but are dis- 

 tinct on details in both cases. I have D. leucosalis also from
