border gradually sloped from proximal to distal border, ventral margin 

 rounded, with a slight irregularity prior to articulation point. 



Neoholotype: A male (pinned) from Grant, Okla., July 1, 1937 

 (Standish and Kaiser) ; MCZ; designation by Carpenter (1940, p. 256). 



Allotype: A female (pinned) with same collecting data as neo- 

 holotype; also MCZ; designation by Carpenter (loc. cit.). 



Hagen (1861, p. 199) mentioned "Florida, in March (Osten Sacken)" 

 in his original description of this species. Osten Sacken collected in 

 Florida in March 1858, on his return from a trip to Cuba. He appar- 

 ently returned from Cuba by wa^'' of New Orleans and Alabama, and, 

 although specific Florida localities are not stated, he probably col- 

 lected areolaris in northern Florida. (See Osten Sacken, C. R., 

 Record of my life work in entomology, p. 7, 1903.) 



Carpenter (1940, p. 256) stated that Hagen's single type of this 

 species was probably destroyed when his collection was shipped from 

 Europe to this country. 



Both neoholotype (approximately 58 segments in both antennae) 

 and allotype (about 57 segments in the left antenna and 56 in the 

 right) are almost entire. The basal radiomedial streak stops at Rs, 

 3d r meets R2 + 3 just before the fork, Cu2 is clear at the margin in 

 the forewings of both. The neoholotype shows four branches to Cul 

 in the left forewing, the allotype five. 



The type material of dictyona in the Cornell University collection 

 was examined and the differences in the size and number of branches 

 of Rs and Cu were found not to be of specific value when compared 

 with areolaris (as was pointed out by Carpenter, 1940, p. 256). This 

 species was described from specimens collected at Saranac Inn, N. Y., 

 June 18 to July 1 and August 10 to 20 (Needham, 1901, p. 558). 

 Since Needham did not designate a t5^pe for dictyona, the following 

 are here designated : 



Lectotype: Male, June 28, 1900 (CU 50-20-32). 



Lecto allotype: Female, same data as lectotype. 



Lectoparatypes: 10 adults, same data, and 5 adults, same lo- 

 cality; CU 188, Sub 2. 3 specimens, same locality, Aug. 18, 1900, 

 J. G. Needham, type 1670; MCZ. 



Topotypes: 42 larvae and pupae, same locality, Aug. 8, 1900; CU. 



It was not possible to locate the type of Sisyra lampra Nav^s. 

 However, the original description (Navas, 1914, pp. 60-61) ap- 

 pears to refer to Climacia areolaris, as shown by the "sectore radii 

 unico" (single radial sector), broad subcosta, dark streak at the 

 radial sector, and general coloration of the forewing, as well as by the 

 six gradate veins in the hindwing (Sisyra has no gradates in the 

 hindwing). Later, Navas himself (1935, pp. 33-34) placed lampra 

 in synonymy with areolaris. The treatment of lampra by Carpenter
