names are synonyms and that the expanse of 33 mm. given in the 

 original description is possibly a printer's error for 23 mm. The type 

 localities coincide, the species being apparently quite common and 

 wide spread in Southern Arizona ; it is therefore extremely probable 

 that Morrison, who supplied Ragonot with his Arizona material, would 

 have captured this species on one of his trips. Unfortunately the 

 type of interrupt ella seems to have been lost or destroyed ; it was the 

 only one of the Ragonot types we could not find in his collection in 

 the Paris Museum. We figure a $ from Redington, Arizona. 



Oneida lunulalis Hist. 



In the original description Hulst gives the type locality as 'Colo- 

 rado' ; later in his revision of the Epipaschids (Ent. Am. V, 64) he 

 only records the species from Canada and N. Y. ; the type 9 in the 

 Hulst Coll. is labelled 'Canada' and there is another type 9 in the 

 Neumoegen Coll. without definite locality labelled 'Cook 6/25/86'. 

 Eoth these types agree well with the description and in view of the 

 fact that later Hulst himself described the true Colorado species as 

 luniferella we believe we are justified in assuming that he was guilty 

 of some error of transcription for we greatly doubt if lunulalis is 

 found in Colorado at all, being apparently an Eastern species. It 

 would seem best under the existing circumstances to accept the 9 from 

 Canada in the Hulst Coll. as being a true type. In several other in- 

 stances we have noted discrepancies in this family between the local- 

 ities given in the descriptions and the labels on the so-called 'types' and 

 when we remember that Hulst had the atrocious habit of labelling 

 specimens long after the original description had appeared with the 

 word 'type', (apparently in the sense of 'typical') the difficulty of 

 discriminating between the true and the false types is greatly increased 

 and often made impossible by these further blunders of transcription. 



Tetralopha nephelotella Hist. 



This is another instance of a discrepancy between the locality 

 given in both the description and the revision, viz. 'Penn.' and that 

 found on the 9 type in the Hulst Coll. which is Blanco Co., Texas. 

 This specimen gives evidence of having been denuded on the under 

 side in order that the venation should be examined, it also agrees in 

 venation with Hulst's characterization of the genus Loma, created 

 for nephelotella, and finally corresponds well in both sex and macula- 

 tion with the original description. We think therefore that the type
