Notes on some species of Geometrids. 

 By Harrison G. Dyar, Washington, D. C. 



In the April number of Entomological News, Mr. John A. 

 Grossbeck has some notes on some of Hulst's types of Geomet- 

 ridae, which takes the form of a criticism of my own notes 

 on these types. Mr. Grossbeck has been studying the material 

 at his convenience, and it is not surprising if he has been able 

 to correct my own more hurried notes. I am, however, dis- 

 posed to maintain my original position in respect to some of 

 the determinations. 



Hydriomene curvilinea Hulst. 



I cannot concur in Mr. Grossbeck's separation of curvilinea 

 and occidens. I have a good series of the species from the 

 northwest, and the differential characters noted come within the 

 range of variation. 



Hydriomene amorata Hulst. 



Mr. Grossbeck admits that one of the types is Petrophora 

 defensaria Guen., but would hold the name on the other type.
