the specimens, I could not compare them. It would seem, how- 

 ever, that Mr. Neumoegen thought the two to be synonymous, 

 as he has them side by side with differing labels. 

 Melicleptria septenfrionalis cj* ( $ ) Hy. Edwards. British Columbia. 



Mr. Neumoegen's notes call this a synonym of Ononis. 

 Heliophana obliquaia (^(^ 9 Smith. Texas. 



Smith's Catalogue calls this a synonym of viitis Grt.

 Azenia iniplora (^ Grt. Arizona, Doll. 

 Azenia edentata (^ Grt. Arizona, Doll.

Spragueia magnifica (^ Grt. Arizona, Doll.

This specimen is the type of Hy. Edwards's Oribates versutus,

Tripudia basicinerea J" Grt. Arizona, Doll.
