are conspecific; we have also compared the type with Pearsall's type 

 series of catskillata so feel reasonably sure of the correctness of our 

 reference. 



EUPITHECIA CALIFORNIATA Gumpp. 



This name was given by Gumppenberg (1888, Nov. Act. Halle 

 52, p. 174) for a supposed variety of misendata, based on three speci- 

 mens from California mentioned by Packard in his Monograph, p. 

 54, under miscrulata; these three specimens which represent the types 

 of californiata have been found by Mr. Swett in the Packard collec- 

 tion ; they have, however, nothing to do with misendata but are very 

 closely related to rotnndopuncta Pack. ; they seem to have more pointed 

 wings and a smaller discal dot but more study with better preserved 

 material will be necessary before the exact dififerences can be pointed 

 out. 



EUPITHECIA ADORN ATA Tayl. (PI. XXII, Fig. 10). 



This species will, we believe, fall to obscurior Hist. ; this latter 

 species was described (Tr. Am. Ent. Soc. XXIII, 271) from speci- 

 mens from California and Colorado; in the Rutgers Coll. the type 

 is labelled "Colorado (Bruce)" and we would make this specimen 

 the holotype; we have no record of the existence of any other type 

 in other collections. Taylor's adornata was described from Calgary 

 specimens and we have compared one of the Co-types with the type 

 of obscurior and believe them to represent the same species. We might 

 note in this connection that the type specimen of nimbicolor Hist, from 

 Calgary greatly resembles a rather suffused obscurior, but without 

 comparing further material we would hesitate to call them identical; 

 they should however be placed next each other in our lists; another 

 very close ally is incresata Pears, described from Princeton Summit 

 and Skagit Basin, B. C. ; it shows the same brownish basal and s. t. 

 shades but is rather duller in maculation. 



EuPiTHECiA PERiLLATA Pears. (PI. XXII, Fig. 11). 



A study of types proves this species the same as behrensata Pack. ; 

 the type of this latter at Cambridge is a rather worn specimen with 

 the cross-lines indistinct whereas Pearsall's type shows the lines fairly 

 clearly, but sufficient of the lines can be traced on Packard's type to
