Meyrick says of his funerea that it is probably what we have been 

 calling capreana in America, but that it is quite distinct. From his 

 description, however, it can hardly be anything else. We have two 

 very similar species in North America, the true capreana and youn- 

 gana McDunnough, distinguished by genitalia and the shape of the 

 outer margin of the dark area of fore wing. Both have been identi- 

 fied as capreana; but most of the specimens in our collection under 

 the name are the true capreana. The character that Meyrick gives 

 for funerea (that is, outer edge of dark area "obtusely angulate 

 inwardly slightly above middle and slightly indented near dorsum, 

 otherwise hardly irregular") fits absolutely with capreana \ for that 

 reason I am listing his species as a synonym. Our lists also give
