description which would definitely prevent this association, especially 

 with such a form as bicoloraria Minot. 



Boarmia ejectaria Wlk. (1860, C. B. M., XXI, 489; patularia 

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



We have already stated our reasons for believing that the speci- 

 men marked patularia in the collection is the type of ejectaria Wlk.; 

 this specimen agrees well with the original description of ejectaria and 

 proves to be a specimen of the ordinary pale brownish form of cana- 

 daria Gn. ; this reference of ejectaria to canadaria would to us seem 

 far more probable than that of Hulst's to humaria Gn., which latter 

 species can hardly be said to fit in well with Walker's description. 



Boarmia divisaria (1860, C. B. M., XXI, 489; 1861, C. N. & G. 

 VI, 39). 



The reference of this species as a synonym of abraxaria Wlk. is 

 correct. 



Acidalia junctaria Wlk. (1861, C. N. & Geol., VI, 39; 1862, C. B. 

 M., XXVI, 1593). 



The $ bearing this label is very poor but would appear to bear 

 out Grote's reference of the species (C. Ent. IX, 27) to vestaliata Gn. ; 

 the original description of the species however leads us to believe that 

 this specimen cannot be considered to be the true type as Walker dis- 

 tinctly states that the head is black in front which is certainly not the 

 case with the labelled specimen. It would almost seem as if the labels 

 of junctaria, similaria and Numeria inceptaria had become loose at 

 some time or other and then been replaced on the wrong specimens for 

 certainly the description of junctaria would fit much better to what 

 has been called similaria than the original description of this latter 

 species does ; as it is in all cases this original description which defines 

 the species rather than any so-called type specimen we believe we are 

 justified in applying the name junctaria in the above sense. 



Macaria subapiciaria Wlk. (1861, C. N. & G., VI, 40; 1862, C. B. 

 M. XXI, 1641). 



Grote's reference of this species to inordinaria Wlk. (C. Ent. IX 

 27) is correct; the ground color is rather more evenly gray than in this 

 latter species but the difference is only slight.
