 1916, on grape. 



Erytlironeiira comes var. octonotata Walsh 



Having examined copious material of the genus from Illinois, which 

 in all probability must contain some representatives of octonotata de- 

 scribed by Walsh from that state, I have decided to use the name for 

 some whitish hyaline specimens with slight orange-yellow color-markings, 

 and a dark dot in middle of clavus, in addition to the usual ones in apex 

 of costal plaque, apex of second apical, and base of fourth apical cell. 

 In effect it is the variety delicata McAtee with a dark dot in clavus. 

 White Heath, April 30, 1916 ; Brownfield, Aug. 17, 1916. Two specimens 

 of var. delicata from the District of Columbia region show a faint dark 

 spot in the clavus.
