of this line broadened into black blotches; the locality Missouri may 
be incorrect as we have seen no N. American material agreeing with 
the type. 
LyGropiA RIvUALIS Hamp. (syn. Bleph. nymphulalis Haim.) 
Although we have not seen Haimbach’s type, his description leaves 
no doubt as to the correctness of the above synonymy. 
POLYGRAMMODES HIRTALIS Gn. 
Capitalis Grt., listed in the synonymy, is a good species; it is much 
larger, whiter in color, with the s. t. brown line much more irregular 
and excurved; the type ? is from Florida, but we have a long series 
from Decatur, Il. A much smaller, yellower form we have in num- 
bers from Brownsville, Texas; this we take to be hirtalis Gn. although 
we have not seen the type; it is certainly amatalis Wlk. 
LOXOSTEGE OPHIONALIS WIk. 
We can see nothing to separate nasonialis Zell. from this species. 
Gyros muiri Hy. Edw. (Monocona rubralis Warr.) 
Warren’s species and genus becomes a synonym of Henry Ed- 
wards’, originally described as a Noctuid, and still so listed by Dyar. 
AUTOCOSMIA CONCINNA Warr. 
This species must be separated from nexalis Hulst; while both 
species are practically identical in maculation, concinna is much 
smaller and bright red-brown at base and along costa of primaries, 
nexalis being generally more dingy brown; we have nevalis from the 
type locality in Coll. Barnes and concinna from Kerrville, Texas, both 
compared with the types. 
CyBALOMIA EXTORRIS Warr. 
This name has two years’ priority over Metasia quadristrigalis 
Fern.; we have specimens of the latter species identified for us by 
Fernald himself. 
PHLYCTAENIA ITYSALIS WIk. 
This species, together with variegata Wlk. and turmalis Grt. all 
represent the form with solid black reniform and orbicular and broad 
dark costal stripe; if any reliance can be placed on Dr. Dyar’s descrip- 
tion of tillialis (Proc. U. S. N. Mus, XXVII, 916) then this name 
will also apply to the same form; Dr. Dyar however is very careful
