latter species are in the Hulst and Neumoegen Collections respectively. 

 We figure a Calgary $ . 



Ptychopoda demissaria Hbn. 



The synonymy of this species as given in Dyar's list is quite in- 

 accurate; ferrugata Pack, is probably correctly listed as a synonym; 

 the species was described from specimens from Mass., Ala., and Texas, 

 but the type should be restricted to the specimen figured (PI. 10, Fig. 

 39) which is in the Cambridge Collection labelled merely '505' but 

 most probably the Mass. specimen; russata Hist, from N. Y. is quite 

 synonymous with this and both seem to fit in well with Hubner's figure 

 of demissaria the type of which was therefore probably from the N. 

 Atlantic States. 



Inchisaria Wlk. should probably be held to the Florida race which, 

 judging from a few specimens before us, seems to differ somewhat 

 from the northern demissaria. 



Bonifata Hist. (PI. XIV, Fig. 17) has nothing to do with this 

 species ; the type in the Neumoegen Collection from Arizona is a 

 rather large specimen of ptelearia Riley, Hulst's name taking priority. 

 We figure a large and well marked 9 from Arizona. 



Eremiata Hist., from Arizona, the type being in Brooklyn, is in 

 our opinion a distinct species from demissaria although closely allied ; 

 the even ruddy color with obsolescent lines easily separates it. 



Flavescens Hist., held at present as a separate species, looked to 

 us, after a careful examination of the type in Rutgers College Coll., 

 to be merely a faded or discolored specimen of eremiata; the course 

 of the t. p. line was the same and there were traces of the characteris- 

 tic dark red costal margin visible. 



Ptychopoda delicata Hist. 



This will fall before bonifata Hist, {ptelearia Riley) ; the species 

 seems widely distributed over the whole southwestern portion of the 

 United States. 



LARENTIINAE 



Nyctobia vernata Pack. 



The type in the Packard Collection from Brunswick, Me. proves 

 to be a worn specimen of Cladara atroliturata Wlk. ; there is however 

 another type in the Boston Society Coll. from Brookline, Mass. (Shurt- 

 leff) which is anguilineata G. & R. so the name may be held to this
