Crcpidodcra hclxiiies seem to belong to the genus Clialcoidcs Foudras 

 (Ann. Soc. Linn. Lyon., VIL i860, pp. 17, 1281). It is possible also 

 that our species of Holtica belong in part to his genus Heninrophaga. 



The name Moiiaclnis Suffr., 1852, is preoccupied l)y Kaup, 1829, 

 for a genus of birds and may be changed to Monachnhis n.m. 



Longifarsus varicornis Suffr., L. subcinctus Harold, L. hcliophyti 

 Horn should be united under the first name, which is the earliest. 

 The food plant is Heliophytiim indicmn; and, since where it grows a 

 house stands or stood, it usually serves an unintended purpose of 

 marking a trail. 



Graphops bicolor Lef. and simplex Lee. are synonyms. The spe- 

 cies should be known as bicolor, which is the earlier name. 



Cassida bivittata Say is, fide Mr. Barber, certainly not a Cassida. 

 Its nearest relative seems to be certain vittate Central American spe- 

 cies of Metriona, in which genus it should be placed for the present. 



Agelastica alni Linne is a European species that has been found 

 in New Jersey. A. ca^ndca Baly, credited to Japan and North 

 America, is probably identical. See Weise, Naturg. Ins. Deutschl., 

 VI, 580. 



Chlamys nodulosits Blatchley is a synonym of Exema gibber 

 (Oliv.), as the latter has been identified in the U. S. National Museum 

 collection. E. gibber is abundant in Florida. 



Agelasa halcnsis has not been found in North America. 



Malacosoma Chevrolat is a preoccupied name which has been re- 

 placed by Exosouia Jacoby. See Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1903, p. 25. 



In the course of some general remarks on Halticin?e Dr. Schwarz 

 said that as advocated by Harold (Col. Hefte) a study of the tibiae, 

 especially in reference to the emargination near its apex, might pro- 

 duce a more natural arrangement than that at present in use, which 

 seems to separate some apparently closely related forms. In Paria,. 

 a new study of the varieties of canclla, in conjunction with food 

 plant, would perhaps show some to be of specific rank; in Halfica 

 also he thought more study of food plants should precede further 

 descriptive work ; since which Bull. 273, Maine Agl. Exp. Sta., deal- 

 ing with species allied to ignita has appeared. 



Siciiiits guatemalensis is an earlier name for Giiatlwccnis dciiiigcr 

 Chitt. Dr. Chittenden assigned his species to EcJwcerits. It is com- 

 mon in Cuba.
