Deilinia quadritwtataria, 11. Sch. (Aus. Schm. f. 347, iSss)."^- This 

 was afterwards described by Mr. Grole as D. septemfliiaria. In his "New 

 Check List'', Mr. Grote has the name D. seplmlwearia. There is a va- 

 rietal form, quite different in appearance, but Mr. Grotes description 

 and tvpe are e.xactlv the form pictured by Herrich Schaeffer under the 

 name Trigrammaria qwuiriiwlalaria. 



Sctnio/hisa grassaia, Hulst, (Brook. Bull. iV, 7,'^, 1881). This is 

 a synonym of ^ praeatomata. Haw. Lcp. Brit. 645, 18 10. I'he differ- 

 ence between the two is hardly worthy a varietal name. 



Semiothisa pitrLiata^ Grote, (Can. Ent. XV, 129, 1883), is a syno- 

 nym o'i S. muliilincata. Pack., as 1 learn from an examination of Mr. 

 G rote's type. 



Stwiothisa vdl.vohtla. Flul.'^t, (Bro'>k. Bull. IV, 34, 1S80). This 

 species belongs to Parophia. 



Stmiolhisa sexpunctata. Bates, (Can. Ent. XVIII, 75, 1886). Mr. 

 Bates has very kindly loaned me the types of the three species oi Geome- 

 iridae described by him in Vol. XVIII, of the Can. Ent., and my deter- 

 minations are based upon a study of these types. The above species is 

 a synonym o{ S. deniicalaiu, Grt- (Can. Ent. XV, 133, 1883.) It dif- 

 fers only in being a very little more clouded cinereous. 6". deniiiulata, 

 is in my opinion a variety oi S. granilata, Guen. and was ]irobably one 

 of Mr. Walker's many descriptions. 



Phasiane (iberrata, Hy. Edw. (Pap. IV. 48. 1884). This is a svn- 

 onym o^ Xapuai orayiraia. Walk. (C. B. M. Geom. p. 1693. 1862), 

 which is at best a variet)' (jnly of Aspilaies gilvarui, Linn. 1 have the 

 type olPMr. Edwards species, a colored drawing of .Mr. Walker's type, 

 as well as specimens of -•!. gihkini from Europe. The American insect 

 is generally considerably darker than the European, but many of the 

 specimens exactly correspond. I have no doubt the reception of speci- 

 mens from I>abrador was what led Mr. Moeschler to state, (\\'iencrEnto. 

 Monats. VIII, 1866), that he had received A. gilvaria.Uom that counlrv. 

 The species seems Arctic and widely spread. Walker reports it from 

 .\rctic America; Moeschler from Labrador; Mr. Edwards" tvpe cana- 

 from the catch of Capt. (jcudes in N. W. Brit. Columbia, Staudinger 

 in his Catalogue states it is found generally through Central Europe, es- 

 pecially in the mountainous districts, as well as far east in .Amur. So 

 while in Europe a Northern Temperate species, it does not .seem to bt- 

 Arctic. .Mr. Walker's name can stand for a good variety. 



Phasiane cinereala, Bates, (Can. Ent. XVIII, 75, i886), is a .syno- 

 nym oi P. nepUita, Guen, The type is in poor condition, being much 

 denuded, so that llie lines are nearlv obsolete.
