Hampson includes A^uirapteryx in the family Sematuridac. 

 According to Forbes it falls in the sub-family Coronidiinae 

 of the Geometridae, (See Jn. N. Y. Ent. Soc, XXV, 47, 52,

 corded from this country. 



We take this opportunity to call attention also to a specimen 

 of Zmiacetha annidata Guer. taken at San Benito, Texas, and 

 now in the Barnes collection. The species has not previously 

 been recorded north of Vera Cruz, Mexico.

 study I was assisted very much by the kind loan by Mr. E. P. 

 Van Duzee of a specimen of C. validus determined by Reuter. 

 To make a long story short, it appears that Camptobrochis 

 poecilus Reuter ms. is the same as Camptobrochis validus var. 

 cunealis Renter,* originally described in part from District 

 of Columbia material. 



The distinguishing character of the variety is the chiefly
