NEPYTIA SEMICLUSARIA WIk. (syn. fumosaria Stkr.) 
Specimens compared with both types are identical, both referring 
to the large suffused gray form. For the- smaller form, common in 
the Atlantic States, canosaria Wlk. is the correct name. Packard’s 
figure (Monog. Pl. XI, fig. 32) is an excellent representation of semi- 
clusaria. Pearsall in his paper on these species (Can. Ent. 39, p. 171) 
has misidentified Walker’s species; it is canosaria, not semiclusaria, 
that has the yellowish front; if Pearsall be correct in his other re- 
marks, then pellucidaria Pack. will become a synonym of semiclusaria, 
but we have not seen Packard’s type so made no definite statements. 
CoENOCHARIS INFUMATARIA Grt. (syn. ignavaria Pears.) 
This species, listed as a synonym of Evelis pyrolaria Gn., has been 
totally misplaced ; a careful reading of Grote’s description would have 
prevented such an error as he states that the size is 30 mm. and the 
build “stouter than robiginosaria’”’ (scolopacinaria Gn.). An exam- 
ination of the single 2 type showed it to be a Coenocharis and we 
noted at the time that it must be close to ignavaria Pears. On return- 
ing home we sent a 2 of this latter species to Mr. Prout who kindly 
compared it with the type and concluded that both represented the 
same species; he noted a few minor details of difference in the depth 
of incurve of the t. p. line in fold and the dark margin to wings on 
underside, but these are variable in our series and we think the two 
names represent but one species. Our identification of Pearsall’s 
species was made by Mr. Grossbeck who had seen the type. 
SELIDOSEMA HUMARIUM Gn. 
The mass of names in the synonymy of this species according to 
our present lists is only surpassed by that of granitata Gn. and the 
muddle is equally great. Not having seen Guenée’s types we can only 
doubtfully place the species but we follow the British Museum tem- 
porarily in our identifications of Guenée’s species. Humarium is the 
small purplish brown species with t. p. line of primaries twice well 
incurved, once below cell and again in the fold and same line almost 
straight on secondaries; illaudata Wk. and intractaria Wlk. are 
synonyms; the latter type 4 is very worn, but we think it represents 
the same species. 
Eriosata Wlk. is a peculiar pale form with strong dark lines referred 
in the museum collection to pampinaria Gn.
