I did not know of Mr. Aleyrick's work upon the Epipascliiinac until 

 after I had publislietl the article in Ento. Am., Vol. Ill, pp. 113 — 118. 

 I have since then examined quite a number of specimens of American 

 species, and incline to ag'ree with Mr. Meyricks final determination 

 that (lifi'erencts ot venation which elsewhere woidd be a reliable basis of 

 division cannot be rdieil upon in this subfamily. As a consequence, 

 several ,2;enera which wcnild be vahd under ordinary circumstances, must 

 be combined. 



There can, we think, be no doubt of the identity of Denterolyta 

 \\\\.\\ Epipaschia. Mr. Grote says (Buff. Bull. I, 177, 1873) ^'^'^t he 

 sent a specimen of his D. borcalis, to Prof. Zeller and he, on Lederer's 

 authority, idenistied it as Lederer's species; but D. borea/is, Grote, is 

 Epipaschia superaialis, Clem.
