that it is a western species (Ent. News, XX, 352); it was described 
from Orillia, Ont., and we have matched the type exactly with a 
specimen from Hymers, Ont.; it very closely resembles the western 
form and we doubt if the two can be separated. 
CYMATOPHORA BITACTATA WIk. 
We think atrosignata Wlk. will prove a synonym although the two 
types do not exactly match; in bitactata the discal spot is distinct from 
the median band, whilst in atrosignata the two are joined forming a 
broad angle in the band; this latter form we have matched with a 
specimen from Hymers, Ont. Breeding will be necessary to settle 
the relationships of the various members of the wawaria group. 
CyMATOPHORA VARADARIA WIk. (syn. C. abbreviata Wk.) 
This species, at present lost in the synonymy of Caberodes con- 
fusaria Hbn., proved to be identical with the species known as abbre- 
viata Wlk.; the types were widely separated in the museum collec- 
tion, but on calling Mr. Prout’s attention to the matter he carefully 
studied both types and confirmed our opinion. 
APAECASIA DEFLUATA WIk. 
This name will have to be dropped from our lists; it was described 
from a specimen with unknown type locality and the type proves 
identical with that of Tacparia zalissaria Wlk. (Cat. Lep. Het. XX, 
234) from Australia. This will leave the name atropunctata Pack. 
(fernaldi Grt.) available for our N. American species. 
CARIPETA ANGUSTIORATA WIk. (syn. criminosa Swett). 
We were much surprised to find that that the type of angustiorata 
was the species figured by Packard (Monog. Pl. IX, fig. 52) in spite 
of Mr. Swett’s article to the contrary (Jour. N. Y. Soc. XIV, 128). 
Apparently there was some error in comparing the types in the British 
Museum with Mr. Swett’s specimens for the type seen by us was 
certainly authentic, agreeing in all respects with the original descrip- 
tion. The only distinction between Walker’s type and Packard’s 
figure is that in the type the t. a. and t. p. lines actually touch, this 
being however a very variable feature. Criminosa Swett thus becomes 
a synonym of angustiorata Wlk, and piniata Pack. (seductaria Stkr.) 
will again be reinstated for the species with strigate primaries. Latio- 
rata Wlk. from Florida is a good species and almost twice the size 
of angustiorata.
