Cidaria emberizata, Guenee, Spec. Gen. des Lep., x, 461

Larentia fureiferata, Walker, List Lep. Ins., xxiv, 1188

1 Hammaptera eonstricta, Warren, Nov. Zoo!., viii, 466 
(1901) (nov. syn.).® 
Tucuman, in coll. Dognin; (®) La Soledad, Entre Rios, 
one $ in coll. Rothschild. 
Range: (}) (^) (^) Brazil; (^) Venezuela; Peru, in coll. 
L. B. Prout. Probably widely distributed, but I confess 
I have not fully mastered the variation of the species. 
Warren’s suggestion (Nov. Zool., xii, 47) that griimata, 
Feld., batis, Warr., and nireigutta, Schaus (= snbpulverata, 
Warr., Nov. Zool., viii, 464, nov. syn.), may be forms of it, 
does not seem to me tenable. On the other hand, eon- 
strieta, Warr., is almost certainly identical with perspicuata, 
Walk., which Schaus determines as emberizata, and which 
fits well to Guenee’s description. 
73. Hammaptera fringillata (Guenee). 
Cidaria fringillata, Guenee, Spec. Gen. des Lep., x, 462 
(1858). 
Coremia lateraria. Walker, List Lep. Ins., xxv, 1310 
(1862). 
Cidaria interealata. Walker, List Lep. Ins., xxv, 1397 
(1862) (nov. syn.). 
Tucuman, in coll. Dognin; Goya, Corrientes, in coll. 
Br. Mus. 
A very variable little species, akin to the preceding. 
So far as I know, it does not extend very far north in 
South America, but it is evidently common in S.E. Brazil 
and in Paraguay. Although I have not cited them in the 
synonymy, 1 have not much doubt that H apicata, Warr., 
Nov. Zool., xi, 51, and H. definita, Warr., Nov. Zool., xiv, 
227 (which in any case is a synonym or small ab. of 
apieata), will prove to be referable here.
