120 INSECUTOR INSCITlit MENSTRUUS 



TTie lack of cell M\ is not a generic character since it occurs in various 

 species in genera of many tribes {Limnophila, Polymera, Eriocera, etc.). 



G. nigra Brun. (p. 494) stated in a long text discussion to lack the 

 radial crossvem, but this is very clearly shown in the figure (pi. 1 0, fig. 3). 



Cladura flavescens Brun. (p. 501) is very probably a Limnophiline, 

 strongly suggesting Adelphomyia Bergroth. 



CladuToides fascipennis Brun. (p. 505), Rhaphidolahis fascipennis 

 Brun. (p. 5 1 9), and Gnophomyia longipennis Brun. (p. 489) are almost 

 certainly one and the same species. 



AN ADDITIONAL NOTE ON CALYPTOCOME 



By HARRISON G. DYAR 



Calyptocome purpurissata Grote. 



Mr. J, A. Grossbeck has kindly sent me for examination a specimen 

 from Florida labeled " Scelolophia purpurissata Grote =formosa Hulst." 

 The specimen is a male pannaria Guenee, a little more purplish than Cen- 

 tred American specimens, as is usual. My own single 9 of purpurissata 

 is very fresh, not having been relaxed, and its bright color may be due 

 to its freshness. If Mr. Grossbeck's labels cire correct, purpurissata will 

 return to the synonymy of pannaria and be accompanied by formosa 

 Hulst, while the name Scelolophia Hulst antedates Calyptocome Warren. 



Calyptocome crossii Hulst. 



Eois crossii Hulst, Can. Elnl., xxxii, 105, 1900. 



Mr. Grossbeck sent me also a 9 from Fort Myers, Florida, labeled 

 " Scelolophia crossii Hulst, comp. type." It is a dark purple species, the 

 wdngs all purplish shaded below, the lines dark yellow and broken into 

 separated segments, the discal bars light and distinct. It looks like the 

 dark form of variabilis Dyar, without the tendency to lightening of the 

 ground. Being a female, it cannot be exactly placed.
