the plate is the type upon which Dr. Hulst based the description 

 of the species. 



Genus CLEORA Curtis 



(1) Cleora pampinaria Guenee, Plate XLIV, Fig. 4, $ . 



Syn. sublunaria Guenee ; frugallaria Guenee ; collecta Walker ; tinctaria 

 Walker ; fraudulentaria Zeller. 



The moth is a native of the Appalachian subregion, ranging 

 from the Atlantic to the Mississippi and beyond. 



(2) Cleora atrifasciata Hulst, Plate XLIV, Fig. 8, ?. 



The specimen figured on the plate is the unique type which 

 was described by Hulst in " Entomologica Americana," Vol. Ill, 

 p. 214. The species has been overlooked in Dyar's List. 



Genus MELANOLOPHIA Hulst 

 (i) Melanolophia canadaria Guenee, Plate XLIV, Fig. 7, $ . 



Syn. signataria Walker; imperfectaria Walker; contribuaria Walker. 



A common species in the early spring throughout the United 

 States. 



Genus ECTROPIS Hiibner 



(i) Ectropis crepuscularia Denis & Schiffermiiller, Plate 

 XLIV, Fig. 9, 6 . 



This species, which is found alike in Europe and America, 

 has an extensive synonymy, for a knowledge of which the student 

 may refer to Dyar's List or to Staudinger & Rebel's Catalogue. 

 The species is widely distributed throughout the continent of 

 North America. 



Genus EPIMECIS Hubner 



(i) Epimecis virginaria Cramer, Plate XLIV, Fig. 28, $, 

 Fig. 29, ? . 



Syn. hortaria Fabricius ; liriodendraria Abbot & Smith ; disserptaria Walker ; 

 amplaria Walker. 



The insect is found in the Appalachian subregion, but is far 

 more common in the South than in the North. I have taken it 

 in Pennsylvania on rare occasions, but it has been found in great 

 abundance by me in Florida.
