D. OLIVALIS Hist. 



According to the type in the National Museum the species appears 

 to us to be the same as argillacearia Pack, which is very doubtfully the 

 same as inceptaria Wlk. 



D. MINUTA Hist. 



The type must be restricted to the 9 in the Neumoegen Coll. 

 from Arizona ; the so-called type 9 in the Hulst Coll. from Texas 

 does not agree with Hulst's description, the discal spots being mere 

 dots and not ringlets as stated and the specimen probably being a small 

 pallidata Pack. Minuta would seem best placed in Phasiane near 

 infimata Gn. the o antennae being merely ciliate and not pectinate. 



D. SUBFALCATA Hist. (PI. XV, Fig. 11). 



The species was described from three 9 's from Colorado and a 

 difference in color between the specimens is mentioned in the descrip- 

 tion ; the gray specimen to which Hulst refers is in his collection and 

 is probably a 9 of coloradensis Hist. ; another 9 type from Platte 

 Canyon, Colo., (which will hold the name), is much yellower and 

 falls into the occiduaria group, in fact we should not be surprised if it 

 proved to be the 9 of that species which we do not definitely know ; 

 a third type of snbfalcata, similar to the true type is in the Neumoe- 

 gen Collection. We figure a 9 from Utah which agrees with these 

 latter types. 



HOMOCHLODES FAMULATA Hist. 



The species described under the above name proves on an exam- 

 ination of the type 9 in the Hulst Coll. to be a melanic aberration of 

 Fiufidonia notataria Wlk., the wings being deep brown with a wavy 

 white s. t. line ; the prominent discal dot very readily establishes the 

 relationship. 



Glaucina escaria Grt. 



After a careful study of the types in the Brooklyn Inst, we are 

 not at all certain that the $ and 9 types represent the same species ; 

 Grote in his description referred to the $ as smaller and darker and 

 this is true, the hind wings especially being evenly fuscous and show- 

 ing beneath no trace of a dark border as found in the 9 . The 9 is, 

 we think, the species described later by Dr. Dyar as erroraria, the 

 type 9 in the National Museum bearing the locality label 'Hot Spg. 

 Arizona'. The name escaria, in case the differences prove specific,
