Macaria maculifascia Hist, (ancillaria Stkr.) (p. 94). 



The records of Everglade and Chokoloskee are apparently given 

 in error; in any case we imagine that aucillaria Stkr. is better referred 

 to ordinata Wlk. than to maculifascia Hist., a species described from 

 Dakota; there is a note to this effect in our Contributions Vol. Ill, No. 

 3, p. 182. 



Tallula atrifascialis Hist. (p. 128). 



This species is confined as far as we know to Texas ; the species 

 listed as atrifascialis from Florida is distinct and seemingly without a 

 name. We describe it as follows : 



Tallula watsoni sp. nov. (PI. XVIII, Fig. 6). 



Primaries dull whitish gray sprinkled with brown atoms ; costa at base 

 dark brown (in atrifascialis (PI. XVIII, Fig. 7) there is an additional dark dot 

 below the costal streak) ; t. a. line well out, pale, almost rigidly oblique with 

 slight angle inward on vein 1, preceded by broad brown band of practically even 

 width throughout (in atrifascialis the t. a. line has a sharp outward angle below 

 cell and the preceding brown band is much contracted below costa) ; t. p. line 

 white, subparallel to outer margin, bulging and slightly dentate in central por- 

 tion followed by a dark diffuse apical shade; a terminal dark dotted line. Sec- 

 ondaries whitish hyaline at base, shading into dark smoky outwardly. Beneath 

 smoky, paler above inner margin of secondaries. Expanse $ 13 mm., 2 16 

 mm. 



Habitat: Stemper, Fla. (July). 3 $, 5 $. Types, Coll. Barnes. 



We take pleasure in naming this species after Mr. F. E. Watson 

 of the American Museum of Nat. History. 



Tetralopha robustella Zell. (p. 128). 



The specimens mentioned as being bred at Lakeland prove to be 

 referable to slossoni Hulst and not to robustella Zell.; the former 

 species, although described from Florida, has been omitted from Gross- 

 beck's list. 



Mineola nebulella Riley (p. 129). 



This record is erroneous ; the species bred from Crataegus at Lake- 

 land which was doubtfully referred to nebulella cannot, it seems to us 

 now after a careful study of Riley's description and figure (4th Mo. 

 Rept. p. 42), be this species which is apparently a rather unicolorous 

 form with different disposition of the discal dots, and possibly not 

 related at all to indigenella. Dyar's reference of nebulella to Acrobasis 

 can also not hold as we are fairly certain that the specimens on which
