$ was first described, and the name of the species becomes 7'. cer- 

 vinaria Pack. 



Tetracis simpliciaria Grt. This is a lighter colored form of T. 

 paralleliaria Pack., and may be retained as a variety name. For deter- 

 mination of T. paralleliaria Pack., see remarks under T. mellitularia 

 Ilulst, Ento. Am., Vol. I, p. 202. For information concerning Dr. 

 Packard's type in the Museum of Comparative Zoology as well as for 

 other favors, I am indebted to Dr. H. A. Hagen of Harvard University. 



Drepanodes olyzonaria Wlk. According to Packard who saw Walker's 

 type and knew Grote's species this is probably the species afterwards 

 called D. varus by Grt. and Rob. Walker fairly well describes the 

 species which is very variable and we think ourselves justified in using 

 his name. The species includes D. sesquilinearia G. and R., D. ccquosa 

 ( i. and R., and D. juniper aria Pack., the first two being perhaps allow- 

 able as varieties. It is difficult sometimes to separate this species from 

 D. puberaria G. and R., and D. perizomaria Hulst. 



Sabulodes dositheata Guen. Mr. A. G. Butler in "Some Notes un 

 some N. A. Lepidoptera" (Papilio, Vol. I, p. 220), gives from British 

 Museum types and specimens, a synonomy of this species which we have 

 been accustomed to know as Tetrads cegrotata Guen. 



The synonomy is as follows: 



Sabulodes dositheata Guen. 



Columbia t a Guen. , 



Tetrads cegrotata Guen. 

 Choerodes airopesaria Walk. 

 subclararia Walk.

 This is pretty good for an insect which varies less than is usual, 

 tii' nigh the 9 i- s ordinarily larger and lighter colored than the ^, and 

 has the wings more angulated. The insect, (if the genus be a valid 

 one), is the first of its genus in our fauna. 



Caberodes confusaria Hub. I accord this species the palm for vari- 

 ability. It has been given five different names by Guenee, and two more 

 by Walker after recognizing Hiibner's and all of Guenee's. Its name 

 was well chosen by Hiibner. I have specimens before me ranging from 

 32 to 62 mm. in expanse; ranging from bright yellow through light 

 ochre to dark brown in ground color; ranging from wings evenly round- 

 ed to wings strongly pointed, falcate and angulate. In variation of bands 

 and border, color and wing shape it grazes on C. antidiscaria Wlk., and 

 seems to intergrade with Eutrapela falcata Pack.
