slender twigs and kindered objects until they appeared several 

 times mag-nified. On throwing back the shutters in the early 

 morning the whole area — the tomb and monument especially, as 

 appeared to me, were shrouded in purest white, thickly bespan- 

 gled over with the most brilliant jewels of silver and gold — a 

 fitting mantle, I thought, for the pure and unselfish man who slept 

 90 calmly and peacefully beneath its folds. 



NOTES ON TYPES OF NORTH AMERICAN GEOMETRINA 

 IN EUROPEAN COLLECTIONS.— V. 



By Geo. D. Hulst. 



(Continued from page 73, vol. vi, Ent. News) 



Patridava tensaria Wlk. 1689, is Tornos approximaria Pack, 

 and is the same as Exelis pyrolaria Gn. i, 324. Tornos infuma- 

 taria Grt. , the type in the Museum is the same species. 



Lepiodes scolopacinaria Gn. i, 360, is Tornos ricbiginosus Morr. 



Scotosia inexplicata Wlk. 1722, is a Noctuid upon the author- 

 ity of Mr. Hampson, and I agree with him. The type lacks one 

 front wing, and is otherwise in poor condition. Mr. Butler writes 

 me : " I have placed it tentatively in the genus Ayiarta, which it 

 much resembles in pattern." 



Apicia denticulata Wlk. Sup. 1544, is also a Noctuid. "It is 

 the rusty form of Pleonectyptera pyralis Hbn., previously de- 

 scribed by Walker as irreda, and by Grote as geometralis.'' 

 Mr. Hampton called my attention to the species, and Dr. Butler 

 independently wrote me concerning it, and gave the synonym 

 which I quote. 



Cidaria rigidaia Wlk. 1727, is a synonym of Anticlea vasaliata 

 Gn. ii, 407. 



Cidaria explagiata^\k. 1728, Larentia ardica Z^\. , Geomeira 

 albiviaadaria Frey, and Cidaria fulvida Butler are put by Mr. 

 Warren as synonymous of Perizoma tceniata Steph. There is 

 probably some mistake here. Walker, in his description, says 

 his type is from Nova Scotia. If I am not mistaken in my notes, 

 the Museum type is from St. Petersburgh, Russia. 



Drepanodes siculata Gn. i, 67, is the same as D. pcrizonata 

 Hulst. 



Apicia junduraria Gn. i, 88, is Drepanodes effasdnaria Hulst. 

 Apicia incopularia Gn. i, 89, is the same species.
