wings stalked in E\i.nuit]i!f<'An(\. separate in Pludonla^ and gives figure 

 of venation of tliis particular species, showing the stalked median vein. 

 1 also have eight European specimens in my collection, in all of which 

 this vein iseither short-stalked or connate. In the American r/?<y/^s7frty/(7, 

 as in all true Phulon'ai^ veins 111 and IV are widely separated at base. 

 1 think there is another mix up between angmtana Clemens and 

 domhiKicuJana Robinson and promptana Robinson. The two latter 

 were described at the same time, with very little ditference either in 

 descriptions or ligures. I have not seen Robinson's types, but have 

 carefully examined Clemens's type in Philadelphia, and from my present 

 knowledge 1 would wMxkQ pro mptarta the SA^nonym of angustaria and 

 leave dorshnaculana as a good but very closely allied species. I have 

 long series, both male and female, of what 1 believe to be both species, 

 and the most constant marks for separating them are the black dots 

 on outer margin. Angitstana has a single small dot just above the 

 middle and a tiny one below the apex, while dorslmaeidana has a mar- 

 ginal row of four horizontal bldfk dashes. If further study should 

 prove this analj^sis wrong, then both of Robinson's species may become 

 synonyms of anguddna and the species witn the row of marginal 

 dashes will have no name.
