I think, however, that the name should fall, for if one type is 

 not defensaria, it is convallaria. I feel quite sure that there 

 is not a third species so marked. 



Somatolophia umbripennis Hulst. 



Mr. Grossbeck has discovered that the type is a $ without 

 antenna? and with a 9 abdomen of another species cleverly 

 attached. Making the necessary correction, Somatolophia 

 Hulst becomes a synonym of Selidosema, but the species umbri- 

 pennis is distinct from Ixaydenata. I have gone over my ma- 

 terial and am able to recognize both species. They are remark- 

 ably alike, not only in markings, as Mr. Grossbeck admits, but 

 also in color, for of my eleven umbripennis (without $ hair 

 pencil), several are fully as light in color as the haydenata. 

 The description of the larva of Aids haydenata Pack. (Proc. 

 U. S. Nat. Mus., XXV, 390, 1903) must be credited to 

 Selidosema umbripennis Hulst. 



Cymatophora festa Hulst. 



Mr. Grossbeck finds this to be a synonym of Macaria sequi- 

 feraria Walk., instead of Delinia pulveraria Hulst, as found by 

 me. I cannot explain this discrepancy, except through some 

 mistake on my part. The species are certainly different enough. 



Selidosema correllatum Hulst. 



Mr. Grossbeck divides the species, limiting it to the Colorodan 

 type, and describing the Californian type as pallescens. In the 

 U. S. Nat. Mus. is also a type of correllatum from California 

 and two other specimens. I suppose these represent pallescens, 

 but the specific distinctness of it is scarcely obvious to me, 

 if the specimen that I have from Ormsby Co., Nevada (C. F. 

 Baker) is the true correllatum, as I suppose. Much more dis- 

 tinct is scriccata Hulst, of which I have a type from Prescott, 

 Arizona, and also four recent specimens from Williams, Ariz. 

 (Schwarz and Barber). Mr. Grossbeck is surely in error in 

 citing the species as a synonym to correllatum. 



Mr. Wm. Schaus has been collecting in Central America since Sep- 

 tember, 1905. His present address is San Jos£, Costa Rica.
