latter having the line straight and corresponding to Hulst's persimilis 

 concerning the identity of which the original description leaves no doubt 

 (C. Ent. XXX, 158). We had evidently compared a specimen with 

 the Brunswick. Me., type but in view of Packard's statement in the 

 original description we feel that the type must be restricted to the 

 Orono, Me., specimen, the name persimilis Hist, becoming valid for 

 the other species, distinguished by its less angled secondaries and non- 

 scalloped s. t. line, the cross-lines also being considerably more ochreous 

 in this latter species than in quadrilineata; Packard's figure in the 

 Monograph (PI. X, Fig. 64) bears more resemblance to this latter 

 species than to the true quadrilineata. We are now confronted with 

 the problem as to which of these two species is represented by Walker's 

 junctariu which we have already referred to this group (Cont. Ill, (1 ) 

 p. 41 ) ; the description of the type V is very brief, but we would note 

 that Walker uses the term 'testaceous' as applied to the cross-lines and 

 as he uses the same term in his description of similaria which we have 

 referred to crythemaria Gn. (Cont. Ill, (1) p. 36) we get a fairly clear 

 conception of his idea of this color; it would seem that the 9 of 

 persimilis Hist, would match the description far better in this respect 

 than the 9 of quadrilineata for which Walker would probably have 

 used the term "fuscous' as applied to the lines; we believe therefore 

 that the correct usage will be to apply juitctaria Wlk., with persimilis 

 Hist, as a synonym, to the one species, using quadrilineata Pack, for the 

 other ; corresponding changes should be made in our New Check List.
