TYPES IN THE NEUMOEGEN COLLECTION.-H. 



WITH A FEW NOTES THEREON. 

 By Dr. Rodrigues Ottolengul 



Since writing the first instalment of this paper a ' ' type' ' which 

 was not in the cabinets when I looked through the Sphingidae, 

 has been put in its place by the curator, Mr. Doll. This is 

 Smerinthus interfaunus ^. Long Island, Doll. 



This is a hybrid from a male Astylus with a female Ocellata. 

 ( Europe) 



ARCTIID^. 



Crocota intermedia var. parvula 9 Neum. and Dyar. Colorado, Bruce.* 



Arctia intertnedia var. stretchii (J". Grote. 



Arctia anna 9 Grote. New York. 



Arctia nei'adensis var. mormonica (^ {(^ 9 ? ) Neum. Colorado, Bruce. 



Arctia nevadensis var. sulphurica (^ Neum. Arizona, Doll. 



Arctifl, nevadensis var. elongata 9 Stretch. Washington Territory. 



In the " Revision of the Bombyces" by Neumoegen & Dyar, 

 mormonica is cited as a synonym of A. proxima Guerin, while 

 nevadensis is made a variety of blakei, with sulphurica, another 

 variety of the same, elongata and ochracea being synonyms of 

 sulphurica. The " type" of ochracea is not in the collection. 

 Arctia favorita (^(^ Neum. Colorado, Bruce. 

 Arctia dieckii r^ Neum. British Columbia. 



Arctia dieckii, in the " Revision" is made a synonym oi deter- 

 minata Neum. which is cited as a var. of williamsii. I did not 

 find the ' ' type' ' of determinata, though the label may have been 

 transferred to the ' ' type' ' of dieckii. 



* I think it proper to credit Mr. Bruce, for discovering new species, as well as Morrison 

 and Doll.— R. O.
