556 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [October, 



I have come to the conclusion that Bronchelia hortaria Fab. 

 must be placed as a synonym of Phahena virginiaria Cram, j 

 that Ephyra pendulviaria Guen. is the same as An-hrostia 

 lunienaria Hubn. : that Eumacaria brunneata Pack, is one 

 with Hypargytis pustidaria Hubn. ; and that Acidalia recondi- 

 iaria Walk, (known commonly as A. emicleata Guen., which 

 it is not), is the .same as Eulepidotis alabastaria Hubn. 



While there is some difference between the types, I have 

 concluded that Diastidis subanita Hulst and Macaria respersata 

 Hulst are the same ; that Thamnonoma pervolata Hulst and 

 Phasiane hcbitata are the same, that Phasiane mellistrigata Grt. 

 and Phasiayie trifasciata Pack, are the same. There will almost 

 surely be a uniting of more species, as more abundant material 

 is obtained. 



Mr. Hanham, of Winnipeg, writes me that Eois indiidata 

 Guen. is double brooded in that localily. 



Mr. Bruce says of Eucrostis viridipcnnata Hulst, " it is com- 

 mon on a boggy tract of land in Park Co., Col., at about 9000 

 feet altitude. It apparently feeds on Potcntilla, as I always 

 l)eat it from that plant. The green is dark, but so fugitive, 

 that it always turns yellow in dampening. They must be 

 spread before they are stiff or the color is gone." 



Mr. Bruce says of Mclamcca magdaleua Hulst, that it flies 

 around the tops of pines at high elevation (10,000 feet), and 

 is extremely difficult to get, as it seldom flies low enough for 

 the net. It flies by day. 



Mr. Cockerell, writing from southern New Mexico, tells me 

 " the larva of Euephyra serrulata Pack, was found on heads of 

 liigelovia gracilens var. , at the beginning of October. It emerged 

 in the early part of No\ ember. The larva was uncertain, as two 

 or three kinds were mixed, but I think the larva which was of 

 this species was entirely orange yellow, the color of the flowers. ' ' 



Dr. Kunze writes me of Emploda ccphisaria Grt. " My speci- 

 mens were all taken in the San Francisco Mountains, Ariz., in 

 bright sun.shine, rifling tlie flowers of Wycthia .sp. and Rud- 

 bcckia lanceolaia, the most at an elevation of 8600 feet, some 

 as high as 9500 feet. I .saw them on no other flowers. They 

 were taken Jjetween July 19th and August 2d. Both this and
