Cleora divisaria (1860, C. B. M., XXI, 487; diversaria D'Urban, 

 1861, C. N. & G, VI, 39). 



The reference of this species to Hydriomena autumnalis would 

 seem to be correct ; we could not exactly match the type, which is worn, 

 with a specimen of the latter species from Ottawa, Ont., which we had 

 taken with us but believe the slight differences presented would fall 

 under the category of individual variation; the type shows great re- 

 semblance to a figure before us of the type of renunciata Wlk. in the 

 British Museum. 



Boarmia inordinary Wlk. (1860, C. B. M., XXI, 488; 1861, C. N. 

 & G., VI, 39). 



If the ordinary identification of granitata Gn. is correct then the 

 reference of inordinaria to this species will hold ; the type is a rather 

 well marked specimen of the common pine feeder of the northern 

 woods, the many forms of which have received various names from 

 Walker e. g. dispuncta, irregulata, retinotata etc. ; as far as our present 

 knowledge goes it would best be placed as a synonym of dispuncta. 



Boarmia cineraria Wlk. (1860, C. B. M., XXI, 488; cunearia 

 D'Urban, 1861, C. N. & G., VI, 39). 



The specimen labelled cunearia is present and appears correctly 

 referred to Ectropis crcpuscularia D. & S. ; it is a large, pale and 

 strongly marked male. 



Boarmia convergaria Wlk. (1860, C. B. M., XXI, 488; conver- 

 zaria, D'Urban, 1861, C. N. & G., VI, 39). 



The type of this has apparently been destroyed as only a pin with 

 the name label is present in the collection. We cannot however see 

 how this species can possibly be placed as a synonym of larvaria Gn. as 

 the description, which we append, calls for a totally different insect : — 



'Male. Whitish with numerous and irregular brown speckles which are 

 here and there confluent on the fore wings. Head and thorax brownish. 

 Antennae moderately pectinated except at the tips. Wings beneath with a black 

 discal dot. Fore wings irregularly banded. Hind wings white with a few 

 irregular brown marks. Length of body 4 lines, of the wings 11 lines.' 



In our opinion there is much more chance of convergaria being 

 one of the forms of Eufidonia notataria Wlk. than of any other species 

 we know ; the locality and size would agree and there is nothing in the
