POLIA UMBROSA Sm. 



The types in the National Museum are 2 $ 's, one from Colorado, 

 the other from Arizona. As we are not quite certain that these rep- 

 resent a single species, we would propose restricting the type to the 

 Colorado 9 . 



Polia occluna Sm. (PI. XII, Fig. 5). 



This is a synonym, along with Perigea latens Sm., of alfkeni 

 Grt. ; the species seems best placed in Polia along with nipana Sm. 

 and montara Sm. all three species being characterized by very min- 

 utely haired eyes, the hairs being very easily overlooked. We figure 

 a typical specimen from S. Arizona. 



Polia rectilinea Sm. (PL XII, Fig. 7). 



The only types we have found of this species are 2 9 's from Van- 

 couver Is. in the National Mueum; these are not identical and it is 

 probable that one of them represents a species described by Smith in 

 his paper on olivacea and its allies. We would restrict the name rec- 

 tilinea to the type with rigidly oblique t. p. line and considerable olive- 

 green suffusion above the anal angle but without pink shading. We 

 figure a fairly typical 9 from the type locality. 



Eriopyga serrata Sm. 



An examination of the type of this species shows that we had 

 misidentified the species ; the true serrata is the species redescribed 

 by ourselves as dubiosa and figured in our Contributions, Vol. II (3) 

 PI. V, Fig. 1. The Arizona form, characterized by smaller reniform 

 and greater distance between it and the t. p. line, as figured by Hamp- 

 son and ourselves (1. c. Vol. I (4) PI. II, Fig. 17) under serrata Sm., 

 is really without a name and we therefore propose for it the name 

 jocosa, the type from Redington, Ariz., being the specimen figured by 

 ourselves as mentioned above. 



BOROLIA TEXANA Mori". 



We have seen the type specimens of this species at Cambridge; 

 they have nothing to do with phragmatidicola of which Morrison 

 made texana a variety, but are in reality the same species as that 

 described a year later by Grote as ligata from the same general locality. 

 Grote remarked in the original description that ligata possibly might 

 be texana and we are now in a position to verify the truth of this 

 statement. We are not sure that extincta Gn. from Florida is the
