Dyar in his description of hulstiana (Proc. Ent. Soc. Wash, IV, 437). 

 The type of lonisa must be restricted to the N. Museum specimen. 



R. RUBROMARGINARIA Pack. 



After examining the type at Cambridge we doubt the reference 

 of this species to extremaria Wlk. ; Packard's figure of the type is good 

 and we would call attention to the lack of the discal spot and the 

 heaviness of the white lines ; Walker's description of extremaria 

 mentions discal spots, but makes no particular note regarding the 

 breadth of the cross lines. More material from Quebec is wanted to 

 determine the variability of rubromarginaria. 



Nemoria brunnearia Pack. 



The species was described from 2 9 's although Packard in his 

 description mentions three localities. The type $ from W. Va. is 

 in Cambridge, Riley's specimen from Missouri in the National Muse- 

 um. The species however does not equal bifilata Wlk. according to 

 our notes on Walker's type and a colored figure of same before us ; 

 Packard's figure is distinctly good and shows the broken red marginal 

 line and slightly checkered fringe ; some specimens in our series from 

 New Brighton, Pa. show a very decided green tinge overlaid with 

 scattered reddish scales which makes us wonder if fresh specimens 

 may not always show this coloration. Bifilata will probably prove 

 the same as bistriaria Hbn., both types having been presumably taken 

 in the same general region, i. e. Georgia ; it is a larger, browner species 

 without the red fringe line. 



N. FESTARIA Hist. 



The species was described from 1 $ and 5 9 from 'Cal.' and 

 'Ariz.' and the types were stated to be in Coll. Hy. Edwards, Neumoe- 

 gen, and Hulst. In the Hulst Collection is a single $ type from 

 Arizona which is arizonaria Grt. pure and simple and does not at all 

 agree with Hulst's characterization of festaria which calls for 'pink 

 fringes and a narrow margin of red on the wings'. In the Hy. Ed- 

 wards' Collection is another $ type from San Francisco, Calif, 

 which seems to be pistaccaria Pack. In the Neumoegen Coll. are 1 

 $ and 1 9 which differ from both of the preceding 'types' ; the $ has 

 no locality label, the 9 is labelled 'Ariz.' ; these agree well with 

 the description, with the exception that the fringe is not entire- 

 ly pink but merely dotted with pink at the ends of the veins.
