— Hi- 

 feel pretty certain it is the same as the species of Walker. The insect is 

 an Aplodes. 



Synchlora rubivoraria, Riley, (ist Report Ins, Mo. p. 239, pi. 2, f. 25, 1869) 

 {nlbolineata Pack., 5th Report Peab. Acad. p. 75, 1873; gracilwia Pack., 5th Re 

 port Peab. Acad. p. 77, 1873), is a synonym of Synchlora {Aplodes) ylancarUt, 

 Guen. Phal. I, 377, 1857. 



Synchlora tricoloraria, Pack. (Proc. Bost. Soc. Nat. Hist. XVI, p. 30, 1874) 

 is a synonym of Synchlora liquoraria, Guen. (Phal. I, p. 375, 1857). 



Chlorosea perviridaria, Pack. (Geom. Moths, p. 379, pi. 10, f. 82, 1876), i?- 

 a synonym of Chlorosea fasciolaria, Guen. (Phal. I, p. 351, 1857). 



Eucrostis zelleraria, Pack. (Geom. Moths, p. 370, pi. 10, f. 76), is a syno 

 nym of Eucrostis phyllinaria, Zell. (Verh. Zoo. Bot. Ges. Wien, p. 479, 1872). 



Some species of Geometrinae I have not been able to identify from 

 their descriptions. It is however likely that Geomelra mimicata, Walk. 

 (List. Brit. Mus. Suppl. , p. 1601, 1866), is a synonym of Aplodes mim- 

 osaria Guen., and both these may be the same as G. cerata Fab. ; that 

 Thalia sodes deprivata, Walk. (List Brit. Mus. Geom., p. 1559, 1862), 

 Kemoria indiscriminata, Walk. (I.e., p. 1556), and N. densaria Walk. 

 (I.e. p. 1559), are variations of iV. chloroleucaria, Guen. (Phal. I, p. 351, 

 1857); that Eucrostis oporaria, Zell. (Verh. Zoo. Bot. Ges. Wien, p. 481, 

 1872), may be a variation of Nemoria pistaciata, Guen. (Phal. I, p. 348, 

 1857); and that Geomelra euchloraria, Ab, & Guen. (Phal. I, p. 355, 

 1857) is likely either Nevwrea subcroceata, Walk. (List Brit. Mus. Geom. 

 P- 1557, 1862), or N. gratala Pack. (Geom. Moths, p. 373, pi. 10, 

 f. 79, 1876.) 



I speak of these as probabilities, not so much for the purpose of 

 giving my personal opinion based on a study of the literature, as for the 

 purpose of exciting interest in some Entomologist making a visit to 

 Europe and leading him to take specimens of these insects and others, 

 that comparison may be made with the specimens in the British Museum, 

 and with Guenee's types, which still exist in the possession of Mr. Over- 

 thiir of Rennes. France. I think it probable that Zeller's types as yet 

 undetermined, may be found in the collection of Lord Walsingham 

 Merton Hall, Thetford, England. Any one visiting Europe could easily 

 make needed comparisons and in a short time we could have the bulk 

 of our Lepidoptera finally determined. The visits of Grote, Packard 

 and Fernald bore in this line a wonderful deal of excellent fruit. 



It may not be too much out of place here to add a note which af- 

 fects one of our Ennominae, concerning the species of which subfamily 

 I have already (Ent. Amer. I, pp. 46 — 49) given some brief notes. Some 

 time since, I saw, by the kindness of Mr. John B. Smith of the National 



Entomologica Americana. 20 Oct. & Nov. 1886.
