wings stalked in Ji'u,fanf/i/'siind separate in Pluiloiua^ and gives figure 

 of venation of tliis particular species, showing the stalked median vein. 

 1 also have eight European specimens in my collection, in all of which 

 this vein is either short-stalked or connate. In the American (oujustaiia^ 

 as in all true PhalotiHt, veins III and IV are widel}^ separated at base. 

 1 think there is another mix up between angusfana Clemens and 

 dorsiz/iact/hnia liolMnson and proniptana Robinson. The two latter 

 were described at the same time, with very little ditierence either in 

 descriptions or figures. I have not seen Robinson's types, but have 

 caref ullv examined Cleniens's type in Philadelphia, and from my present 

 knowledge J would wv.xka prom pf ana the synonym of aiujuxtana and 

 leave dorx!uiacuIatui as a good but very closely allied species. I have 

 long series, both male and female, of what I believe to be both species, 

 and the most constant marks for separating them are the black dots 

 on outer margin. AiKjiistana has a single small dot just above the 

 middle and a tiny one l)elow the apex, while dorsi/jtaci/kaia has a mar- 

 ginal row of four horizontal black dashes. If further study should 

 prove this analysis wrong, then ])oth of Robinson's species may become 

 synon3'ms of tmf/uMa/ia and the species with the row of marginal 

 dashes will have no name.
