Grt. I agree with Mr. Warren's reference. D. infensata Gn. i, 

 68. and D. ephyrata Gn. i, 69, I found are the same species, so 

 the oldest name yet known is D. infensata Gn. 



The synonymy of Prochcerodes transversata Dru. I found to be 

 the same as stated by Dr. Packard, namely, incurvata Gn., 

 goyiiata Gn. , transmutens Wlk. , contingens Wlk., transposita 

 Wlk. Transmutens and incurvata are dark forms, contingens is 

 yellowish, transfindens is striated and dark spotted. 



Oxydia vesulia Cram, has distichata Gn. i, 59, and peosinata 

 Gn. i, 59, as synonyms. Mr. Warren joins several other names 

 to vesulia, but having seen the types of Guen^e I do not believe 

 them to be conspecific, as Mr. Warren puts them. 



Tetrads aspilata Gn. i, 141, and T. alleditisariaV^Yk. 253, are 

 the same species with T. crocallaia Gn. i, 141. T. aspilata has 

 the cross-line of the hind winos obsolete. 



Mr. Warren has established the genus Ctenotetracis iox paral- 

 lelia Pack, and trianguliferata Pack, 



Eutrapela cegrotata Gn. i, 141, is not a synonym of Sabulodes 

 dositheata, as Dr. Butler seemed to think, and on whose authority 

 I united them ; cegrotata is our Californian species, and Ennomos 

 arsesaria Wlk. is a synonym; cegrotata is, however, oi Sabulodes 

 caberata Gn. i, 45. 



Apicia ? deductaria Wlk. 237, Lozogramma atropunctata Pack, 

 and Drepanodes fernaldi Grt. are the same. The type of D. 

 fernaldi is in the Museum. 



Tetrads pandaria Wlk. 173, is a synonym of Caberodes major- 

 aria Gn. 



I agree with Dr. Packard that the following are synonyms of 

 Caberodes confusaria Hbn. : metrocatnparia Gn. i, 137, remis- 

 saria Gn. i, 137, imbraria Gn. i, 137, superaria Gn. i, 138, in- 

 effusaria Gn. i, \2^%, floridaria Gn. i, 139, and phasianaria Gn. 

 i, 140. I add as other synonyms: Caberodes interli7iearia Gn. , 

 C. eldanaria Wlk. 170, and C. varadaria Wlk. 251. 



Apicia cayennaria Gn. i, 82, is not the insect known in our 

 catalogues as Caberodes cayenyiaria. It is Caberodes distycharia 

 Gn. i, 83. A. cayennaria Gn. has not, in my knowledge, ever 

 been taken in the United States. 



Napuca orciferata Wlk. 1693, is considerably darker than any 

 specimens I had seen before. It follows the arctic tendency to 

 melanism, but is conspecific with Phasiane aberi'ata Hy. Edw.
