Illinois, and Prof. Lugger reports it as fairly common in Min- 

 nesota. My own types came from Charlotte Harbor, Fla. 



From an examination of a number of specimens I am now of 

 the opinion that Eiistroma cimigerahcm Walk, and E. explana- 

 tiim Walk, are distinct species. 



Having received specimens of Hypsipctes albifasciata Pack. , 

 which Dr. Packard puts as a variety of Hydriotnena sordidata 

 Fabr., I consider it not only specifically but generically distinct. 

 It belongs to Enchoria Hulst. 



In Staudinger's Catalogue, No. 2686, p. 189, 1871, we have 

 a species catalogued without description as Cidaria lugiibrata 

 Stand. It is the same as the luduata of authors, but that is 

 not the hcduata of Hubner. But Moeschler had previous to 

 this, named a variety from Labrador as Cidaria obdudata. This 

 last name was, therefore, the first name given to the species. It 

 seems the species ought? therefore, to be catalogued Cidaria ob- 

 duda Moesch., with Staudinger's form as the variety. 



In Rho. Het. N. A., Suppl. II, Dr. Strecker publishes quite 

 a number of new species of Geometers. How many of these 

 are good species I am unable to say. Gcometra bellonaria is, I 

 am certain, a synonym of Aplodes obliqua Hulst. Sicya faiisti- 

 iiaria is a variation of .S". macidaria Harr. Whether it is exactly 

 covered by any of the variations described by Guenee I cannot 

 say. Marmopteryx topazata is a good species, but belongs not 

 to Marmopteryx but Ca'nocalpe Hubn. 



I have elsewhere suggested that Acidalia frigidaria Moesch. 

 was a variation of A. indudata Guen., but, as I have since 

 learned, without sufficient reason. Having now males of both 

 species, I find, though very like each other in form and color, 

 the males distinctly differ in structure. 



Having received a <? of Radieospila xysferaria Hulst, I find 

 it is a Synchlora. 



I have also a S Selidosema correllatuni Hulst, which shows 

 it should be catalogued under Cleora Curt. 



I have received from the National Museum a specimen of 

 Endropia bilineata Pack., with a label in, I believe, Prof. 

 Fitch's handwriting upon it, marked, Endropia johnsonaria 

 Fitch. So it may be considered settled that the two species 

 are the same. Fitch's name having priority.
