3o6 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [December, 



A type of Tephrosiafalcataria Pack, is in the Museum collection. 



Ephyra soHtaria Wlk. 631, I have received from Florida, col- 

 lected by Mrs. Slosson. Ephyra stabilitata Wlk. 632, and Ani- 

 sodes repugnataVJV&. 1577, all from E. Florida, are, I think, the 

 same, though varying somewhat in appearance. Macaria inap- 

 taia Wlk. 886, is also a variety. 



Tephrosia disconventa Wlk. 404, Cidaria lactispajgaria Wlk. 

 1387, and Ypsipetes immersata Wlk. 1268, are synonyms ol Nu- 

 meria frillilaria Gn. ii, 136. The type of the latter is in the 

 British Museum, as are the types of all the species Guen^e named 

 from the material of Doubleday. 



Under Tephrina monicaria Gn. ii, 100, Mr. Warren has placed 

 an insect which is nearly identical with Aspilates fautaria Hulst. 

 The type of Guen6e is almost certainly lost, so I am informed 

 by Mr. Oberthiir. The most, if not all, of the species from Cali- 

 fornia described by Guen^e were from the Lorquin collection. 

 What has become of that collection no one knows; it is probably 

 all destroyed. No determination can therefore be made of these 

 species from the types. Guen^e, however, left excellent descrip- 

 tions, and in the most of cases determination can be made with 

 comparative certainty. In the present case, as in some others, 

 there is some doubt, as there are several closely allied species. 

 But I am willing to accept Mr. Warren's opinion the more freely, 

 as it involves one of my own species, and will hereafter, till I 

 learn better, catalogue fautaria Hulst, as a synonym of moni- 

 caria Gn. 



Heterophleps atrosignata Wlk. 1457, is, I think, a synonym of 

 Thanonoma wavaria L. It is nearly the normal form of T. 

 wavaria as found in America, though this differs somewhat from 

 the ordinary European form, the lines being more distinct and 

 blacker, and the color a clearer, less smooth cinereous. Thera? 

 peracutata Wlk. 1264, is a synonym of Halia subcessaria Wlk. 

 945, while Thera? bitadata Wlk. 1264, is a more heavily marked 

 form of T. wavaria L. I have little doubt that intergrades be- 

 tween T. wavaria L. and T. subcessaria Wlk. will eventually be 

 found, and the thus connected, as are T. subcessaria and T. 

 coortaria Hulst.
