redescribing the true chandleri as poliochroa will be valid; the only 

 course open to us seems to be to sink poliochroa to chandleri and 

 leave Colorado Sm. for the other closely allied species. 



HOMOHADENA INCONSTANS Grt. (PI. XIII, Fig. 10). 



An examination of the $ and 9 types of this species in the 

 Neumoegen Collection showed that they represented two distinct 

 species. The type 9 had no tibial claw, a rather ochreous collar, 

 with chocolate front and pronounced streaks on the veins; the type 

 S from Prescott, Ariz., showed only faint streaks on the veins and a 

 very marked contrast on the collar between a deep chocolate brown 

 lower portion and a whitish upper portion; the fore tibiae were miss- 

 ing, but as Grote placed the species in Oncocnemis originally we may 

 presume the existence of a claw. The $ we believe to be what we 

 described recently as Oncocnemis astrigata from Utah and figured in 

 Contributions Vol. I, No. 5, PI. II, Fig. 4; we have also a $ from 

 White Mts., Arizona. The name inconstans must therefore be re- 

 stricted to the species represented by the 9 type which will fall into 

 Homohadena close to incomitata Harv; we figure a S taken in 

 Yavapai Co., Ariz., by Mr. Buchholz. 



EUTOLYPE DEPILIS Grt. 



The species was described from a single 9 from Columbus, 

 Ohio, which is now in the Neumoegen Collection ; following the de- 

 scription of depilis Grote mentions a 9 from Texas (Belfrage), close 

 to depilis, which possibly represents a distinct species. Later Smith, 

 associating the name depilis with this Texan 9 which Grote had 

 labelled depilis, described as bombyciformis what was actually the 

 true depilis. We have seen the types of both depilis Grt. and bomby- 

 ciformis Sm. and they represent to us a single species. Hampson fig- 

 ures a Texan 9 under depilis which certainly looks distinct and may 

 prove to be an unnamed species, but we have no material from this 

 locality before us; the typical form is well figured by Holland (Moth 

 Book PI. 21, Fig. 13). 



Parastichtis insipida Stkr. (PI. XIV, Fig. 1). 



This species proves on an examination of the type to be the same 

 as inops Grt. which has priority; we are a little in doubt as to the 

 correct position of the species but for the present it can remain as 

 placed by Hampson ; we figure a 9 from Omaha, Nebr.
