AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 367 



Aspilates Treits., and so with liis determination Aspilates would be 

 a synonym of this genus. But Treitschke did not have that idea of 

 his genus. He had under it discordant material, but none of the 

 earlier named species apply here. The first is purptiraria Linn., and 

 this may be taken as the type of Aspilates. This is ordinarily cata- 

 logued as Lythria, but as Mr. Meyrick remarks, Lythria is a syno- 

 nym of Botys Latr. afterwards applied, but without right, to a genus 

 of the Pyralidse. 



Mr. Warren, Nov. Zool. vol. i, 437, 1894, calls attention to the 

 fact that mundataria Cr. has hi pectinate antennae in 9 , thus sepa- 

 rating it from this genus, and calls it Megaspilates. But mundataria 

 Cr. is type of Concilia Hub. Verz. 337, 1818, which, of course, has 

 priority.
