ArliRcia fascis Schs. — In my revision of the American Notodontidje I 

 followed Mr. Druce who, in the Biologia, sank this species as a synonym of com- 

 busta H. S. I find, however, on examining njore material, that combusta 9 li^s 

 the antennae simple, whereas in fascis 9 they are almost as strongly pectinated 

 as in the % . This is also tlie case in A. meridionalis.
