12 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [January, 



synonym of Tephriiia lorquinaria Gn. ii, loi. The remarks 

 under T. monicaria Gn. above apply here, as Guen6e's type is 

 probably lost. I think Mr. Warren's reference is correct. 



The type of Thamonoma curvata Grt. is in the Museum, and is 

 put as a synonym of Phasiane excurvata Pack., which is a syn- 

 onym of Anaitis orillata Wlk. 1740, which is a synonym oi As- 

 pilates strigularia Wlk. 1675, and Anaitis continuata Wlk. 1445, 

 the latter being the oldest name; curvata does not have the basal 

 and middle lines coalescent posteriorly, though they are nearly 

 so, and I have specimens where they do become one. Grote's 

 name can stand for this varietal form. 



Psamatodes eremiata Gn., of which the type is in the Museum, 

 has as synonyms — Tephrina retectata Wlk.' 959, Tephrina gra- 

 data Wlk. 968, Tephrina retentata Wlk. 968, and Macaria snb- 

 cinctaria Wlk. 1655. 



Ellopia plagifasciata Wlk. 1508, is Numeria occidicaria Wlk. 

 1016. This is not, in my opinion, the same as Numeria pulver- 

 aria Hbn. 



The type of Fidoniu truncataria Wlk. 1034, is much darker 

 than the form usually met with in our collections. It is, however, 

 an arctic form, and among the Geometrina, under arctic condi- 

 tions, there is a tendency to melanism, as well as to hairiness, 

 and a squamose condition of vestiture. 



Tephrina notataria Wlk. 407, Fidonia discospilata Wlk. 1034, 

 and LarentiaJidoniataV^Wi., 1183, are the same species, and are 

 also one with Fidonia bicolorata Minot. 



Azelina aretaria Wlk. 258, is the same as Caripeta subochreata 

 Grt. Caripeta latiorata Wlk. 1525, and Caripeta angustiorata 

 Wlk. 1524, are variations of one species. Mr. Warren does not 

 think C. aretaria to specifically distinct, but I am not yet ready 

 to unite it with the others. The amount of material is yet very 

 small for comparison. 



Caripeta divisata Wlk. 1525, has as a synonym Cidaria albo^ 

 punctata Morr. The type of the latter is in the Museum. 



In the Museum collection Mr. Warren has ranged Drepanodes 

 olyzonaria Wlk. 69, D. bicesaria Wlk. 73, D. oemearia Wlk. 

 73, D.puberGxi. D. varus G. & R. , D. aquosus G. & R., D. ses- 

 quilinea G. & R. and D. juniperata Pack., as one species. The 

 type of D. puber is in the collection. D. olyzonaria is like D. 

 csquosus, D. bicesaria and D. (smearia are nearly as D. puber
