AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 81 



tense deep orange, the common line followed externally by a bright 

 purplish shade. Both species vary in the depth of color but the palest 

 E homuraria is always ferruginous, while E. hypochraria, occasionally 

 so pale as to be of a dirty yellowish grey, never acquires the rusty 

 brown of its ally. The caputal and thoracic scales are more warmly 

 colored in E. homuraria and the fringes of the wings beneath are pur- 

 plish. The subterminal clouded shade, which crosses both wings above 

 in E. hypochraria and is more or less distinct, is obsolete in E. homu- 

 raria. Expanse 06 mil. Leiigfli ofhodi/ 16 mil. 



Of common occurrence throughout the Atlantic District. 



Endropia madusaria. Walk., p. IbS^Endropia vlnosaria, Gr. & R. 



Endropia oponearia, Walk., p. ]53=Endropia madusaria, Walk. 



Elhpia pulfrarial Walk., p. 160. This is not Guenee's species, but 

 a % EUopia endropiaria, G. & E. Ann. Lye. 9 Ellopia panisaria 

 Walk. p. 1G8, and $ EUopia? amj/risaria. Walk., p. 164 are identical 

 and belong to Numeria. S Endropia later itiaria\, Walk., p. 151 and 

 S Caherodes ? agreasaria Walk., are identical and also belong to Nu- 

 meria. Neither of these species are otherwise known to us. The spe- 

 cimens registered as S Caherodes imhraria p. 168, % C. supcraria id., 

 $ C. inejfuaaria p. 169 and % C. fiorldaria id., seem to us to belong 

 all to C. metrocamparia, Giunde ; % C. remisaria is darker and macu- 

 late but hardly seems distinct. 



Tetrads pandaria, Walk., is evidently the 9 of his Caberodes remis- 

 saria, whicli may thus be a distinct species. 



Azelina honestaria, W^alk., p. 258=Azelina hiibneraria, Guenee. 



Azelina ? zaiissaria, Walk., seems also to be a variety of the foreoo- 

 ing ; it diifers by the exterior line being straight. 



Metanema aeliaria, Walk., p. 260 belongs to Endropia Gnen. 



Sangata rosea Walk. p. 265. The locality given of the Cape 

 (Africa) is probably erroneous since the specimens appear to be all 

 females of our United States Bombycid Hyparpax aurora (Smith) 

 Hiihiier. Finally Sdenia aesionaria Walk., Azelina neonaria, Walk., 

 and Macaria laticincta are the same species belonging to Hyperitis and 

 closely allied to if not identical with Hyperitis alienaria Guenee. 

 Part XXI.— 1860. 



Bnarmia defectar!((, Walk., p. o\^=Boarmia larvaria Walk. id. 

 Whether the species is identical with either of Guenee's described 

 under these names is not known to us.
