HomopyRaLIs TANTILLUsS Grt. (syn. H. monodia Dyar). 
Another misidentification on the part of Dr. Dyar which could 
have been obviated by sending material to the British Museum for 
comparison. Tantillus of the National Museum is a species allied to 
quadrisignata Wlk. and nothing like Grote’s species; we have speci- 
mens which have been compared with both of the above types and 
find them identical. 
ZANCLOGNATHA JACCHUSALIS WIk. (syn. marcidilinea Grt.) 
Walker’s species has been sunk as a synonym of cruralis Gn. 
Whilst the type is a very poor specimen it still distinctly shows a 
slightly dentate t. a. line, which would at once separate it from 
Guenée’s species and make Grote’s species a synonym. 
RENIA FACTIOSALIS WIk. (syn. clitosalis Wk.) 
The latter type is very poor, but shows a distinct brownish shade 
to primaries and should we think become a synonym of factiosalis ; 
a second specimen associated with the type in the collection is cer- 
tainly this latter species. Tuilosalis Sm. is very close to this species 
and we imagine it may prove identical although we hesitate at present 
to sink it in the synonymy. 
ANOMIS SERRATA B. & McD. 
Dr. Dyar, in his review of our “Contributions, Vol. II, No. 4,” made 
this a synonym of xanthindyma Bdy. Sir Geo. Hampson however 
stated to us that xanthindyma Bdvy. described from Madagascar, is not 
the form with serrate antennae, backing his assertion with specimens 
from the type locality. We do not know on what Dr. Dyar has based 
his statement, but it would almost seem as if our name would hold 
after all, in spite of the veto from Washington. 
NOTODONTIDAE 
HETEROCAMPA ASTARTE Dbldy. (syn chapmani Grt.) 
A é specimen in the British Museum marked “E. D. St. John’s 
Bluff, E. Fla.”, a locality corresponding with that of the original 
description, can, we think, without doubt be regarded as the authentic 
type. The 2 type of chapmani Grt., also from Florida, is the same
