are very contrasted in this respect. The species would therefore stand 
as follows: 
MELLILLA Grt. 
inextricata WIk. 
xanthometata WIk. 
chamaechrysaria Grt. 
rilevaria Pack. 
f. aest. snoviaria Pack. 
SCIAGRAPHIA GRANITATA Gn. 
The synonymy of this species as given in Dyar’s list is appallingly 
muddled and our series of specimens is not nearly sufficient to attempt 
to do more than merely indicate certain of the gravest errors. The 
type specimen is at Paris and agrees well with Guenée’s description ; 
the lines are brownish on a white ground and the most marked feature 
is a brown spot on costa near apex. The following names at present 
included in the synonymy apply to good species and have nothing to 
do with granitata: 
EXAUSPICATA WIk. 
This species falls into the inquinaria-subfalcata group of Cymato- 
phora (of Dyar’s list) and resembles considerably julia Hulst in gen- 
eral style of maculation; the type 2 we have matched with a ? from 
New Brighton, Pa., and there are 5 ¢’s in Coll. Barnes from the 
same locality. 
ORDINATA WIk. 
Very close to Macaria eremiata Gn. but larger, paler, with the 
3 lines of primaries and 2 of secondaries distinct; we have matched 
this with a specimen from Chicago, III. 
ABRUPTATA WIk. 
Our note on the type is that it is a round-winged species with dark 
spot on post-median line followed by a second spot subterminally and 
has nothing to do with granitata Gn. 
UNIMODARIA Morr. 
8 type in the British Museum (ex Grote Coll.) is small, dark and 
unicolorous. We saw a specimen amongst material sent to Mr. Prout 
for determination by the late J. A. Grossbeck.
