Lep. Comp. VI, PI. 156, fig. 1511) ; on the contrary the type of cequal- 

 iaria would appear to be a normal specimen of athasaria Wlk. which 

 was described from a specimen in which the cross lines were unusually 

 close together. Packard already suggested this synonymy (Mon. 

 Geom. p. 495) and we would point out in confirmation of this reference 

 that the description does not call for any orange border to the dark 

 cross lines. 



Endropia effecta Wlk. (1860, C. N. & G. V, 260; effectaria, 1862, 

 C. B. M. XXVI, 1504). 



The specimen bearing Walker's label is a 2 of Sabulodes trans- 

 versata and quite in discrepancy with the original description which 

 calls for a $ , a much notched exterior border of hind wings and the 

 middle and exterior lines very distinct on underside; we imagine that 

 the label has been at some time or other wrongly transferred to this 

 specimen and are strengthened in this belief by the fact that a $ speci- 

 men agreeing in all particulars with the description and also with our 

 usual conception of the species is present in the collection without any 

 written label ; this specimen is in all probability the true type. In any 

 case we can see no grounds for accepting the transversata specimen as 

 type nor for changing the usual idea of the species. 



Endropia annisaria Wlk. (1860, C. N. & G. V, p. 260; aniusaria, 

 1862, C. B. M. XXVI, 1507). 



There are no specimens in the collection bearing this name; the 

 species was described from a $ and $ and has generally been con- 

 ceded to be a synonym of ribearia Fitch; a $ and a 5 of this latter 

 species are present in the collection without labels and as they agree 

 well with the description we believe them to be the true types from 

 which the labels have possibly dropped off and been lost ; in any case 

 the synonymy need not be changed. 



Biston ursaria Wlk. (1860, C. N. & G., V, 261 ; C. B. M. XXI, 304). 



The type specimen is present and confirms the general conception 

 of the species. 



Acidalia similaria Wlk. (1860, C. N. & G., V, 261-2; C. B. M. 

 XXVI, 1592). 



On the authority of Dr. Hulst (Ent. News, VI, 72) this species 

 has been considered the same as quadrilineata Pack, and this appears
