Eriocera pulehripes, sp. n. 



1914. Eriocera cJirysopiera Alexander; Ent. News, vol. 25, 

 pp. 214, 215; not E. chrysoptera (Walker). 

 In an earlier paper cited above, Eriocera jndcliripes was 

 determined by the wTiter as being E. chrysoptera (Walker). 

 From notes on the type of the latter made by Mr. Edwards 

 and from a comparison with related species, it is evident 

 that the present form represents a very distinct species of 

 the genus. The insect is described and figured in the 

 paper cited above, the description being added here for 

 completeness.
