varietal namr for the latter forni. There is also much variation in the 

 general color of A. mmosana, which ranges from sea-green to dull 

 white, very faintly tinged with green. 



Aplodes approximaria Pack. (5th Kept. Peab. Acad. p. 73, 1873.) 

 In this as in the preceding species, notwithstanding the statement 

 of Dr. Packard to the contrary, the inner line on the hind wings is clearly 

 indicated in the typical specimen, Mr. Graef has the only other speci- 

 men of which 1 have knowledge, but It is likely in other collections 

 under the name oC A. viimosaria Guen, The specimens I have seen of 

 mimosaria vary very much in the distance between the cross lines; and 

 thougti I have seen no connecting links with A. approximnria, they will 

 probably sooner or later be found, and A. approximaria will be proved a 

 variety only. Till that time it must be considered a good species. 



Aplodes undinaria Strecker (Kept. Surv. Dept. Mo. p. 1862, 1878.) 

 This is a synonym oS. Chlorosea bistriaria Pack. (Geom. Moths, p. 

 378, pi. 13, fig. 55.) 



Aplodes junctolinearia Graef. (Brook. Bull. Ill, 87.^ 

 This beautiful insect is unique in the style of its markings and is 

 consequently one of the most interesting of the sub-family. 



Aplodes {Chlorosea) albaria Grt. (Can. Ent. XV, 126.) 

 This species is very close to A . viridicaria, Hulst (Brookl. Bull. Ill, 

 p. 41). The hind wings are nearly pure white, but in this it connects 

 by gradations with the very light green tinted wings of A. viridicaria. 

 There are, so far as I can see, but two points of diflference between the 

 two insects, ist, in*^. viridicaria the white lines on the fore wings are 

 considerably wider apart at the costa than at the inner edge; in A. alb- 

 aria they are parallel all across the wings: in both the outer line is par- 

 allel with the outer margin. These are the type forms, but in the series 

 of specimens I have the two forms connected. 2nd, in A. viridicaria 

 the lines of the hind wings approach each other inwardly, which is not 

 the case in the typical A. albaria. But in this, in my series of speci- 

 mens, there are connecting examples. A. albaria seems to be the more 

 prevalent form in Arizona. My present opinion based upon an examin- 

 ation of 8 specimens, is, that A. albaria is properly catalogued as a 

 variety of A. viridicaria. 



Geometra inclusaria, Walk. (List Brit. Mus. Geom. p. 508, 1861.) 



I have a number of specimens from Florida which seem exactly to 



agree with the description of the above species as given by Mr. Walker. 



I have in my possession no authenticated specimen of A. rubrolinearia 



Pack. (5th Rept. Peab. Acad. p. 74, 1873), but from the description I
