2. Almodes(?) benesignata (Dognin). 
Almodes hcnesignata, Dognin, Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg., 1, 106 
(1906). 
Metan, Salta (type), in coll. Dognin. 
An interesting species, in some measure intermediate 
between Almodes and Ergavia ( = Polysemia, auctt.). The 
typical Almodes forms seem to belong entirely to Mexico, 
Central America and the West Indies, whereas Ergavia 
ranges certainly from Mexico to Paraguay.

(^) La Plata City (type), in coll. Rothschild. 
Apparently a Avidely-distributed species in South 
America. The British Museum collection has it from 
Panama and Venezuela, practically typical, and I am 
strongly inclined to suspect that G. stigmatica, Warr., 
from Peru, is a large, strongly-marked aberration, or at 
most a local race. I have the typical form from Rio. 
4. Aplodes frondaria (Guenee). 
Synchlora frondaria, Guenee, Spec. Gen. des Lep., ix, 875 
(1858). 
? Thalera minuata, Walker, List. Lep. Ins., xxxv, 1613 
(1866). 
Goya, Corientes, in coll. Br. Mus.; ? Tucuinan and Los 
Vasquez, in coll. Dognin. 
Also widely distributed, from Vera Cruz (Mexico) to 
Uruguay, but chiefly on the Atlantic side of South 
America, and rather frequent in the West Indies. The 
only western specimens known to me are from Callao. It 
shows no appreciable geographical variation.
