Geomeiridae of the Argentine Re'pnblic. 305 
Jones, from whom Mr. Rothschild obtained it, must have 
taken it for gladiaria, or he would not have parted with 
it; for he has none like it left in his own collection. M. 
Dognin, in his MS. list, records ligulifera for Buenos Aires 
(Warren determ.); I have only ^s from that locality, but 
a single ^ in the British Museum collection is quite normal 
for gladiaria. 
Further variation occurs in the distance which separates 
the lines of the forewing. I have an interesting $ of the 
maldaina form in which they are strongly convergent, 
being only 1 mm. apart at inner margin; at the other 
extreme of position (shown in one maldama ^ and in my ^ 
heteroloeha) they reach a distance of nearly 6 mm. at inner 
margin. 
From Buenos Aires I have seen the type and ab. 
seriaria ; from different parts of Mendoza nearly all the 
forms known to me; from La Rioja and Gran Chaco ab. 
seriaria’, from Santa Fe ab. ennomaria. 
My Buenos Aires specimens are dated February and 
March, but there is evidently a succession of broods. From 
eggs obtained in July, Mr. Bayne has reared moths in 
November, if not in September; from larvae which 
hatched on September 24, 1903, moths appeared in 
November, and from pairings of these another brood 
was already emerging on January 11, 1904. 
Mr. Bayne tells me the eggs are oval, green, changing 
to dark brown or blackish before hatching. As to the larva 
I have no information. Mr. Bayne has sent me the empty 
pupa case, which reminds somewhat in form, texture and 
colour of those of the pseudo-A?momos of Europe {alniaria, 
Linn., etc.), but has a series of large, blackish spiracular 
spots; anal extremity with eight hooks, the strong central 
pair and six more slender.
