Various things have been confused under this name and specimens 

 of helianthana Eiley have more often than not been labeled lagopana. 

 In the Kearfott collection there is a specimen of the true lagopana 

 without locality label, but bearing Walsingham's name label. I 

 have also seen three authentic specimens in the Fernald collection at 

 Amherst from California, which had probably been submitted to 

 Walsingham. Kearfott also had a specimen of lagopana from 

 Phoenix, Arizona, under the name Eucosma canana Walsingham. 

 Superficially it resembles the Eucosma canana group, but is easily 

 separable on venation and it is quite distinct from all Suleima except 

 haracana Kearfott.

Here Kearfott has copied Walker and described the same insect 

 under two different names on the same page. We thus get rid of 

 one of his " nonsense names," Eventually we shall probably be rid 

 of both, as well as Mr. Meyrick's more elegant substitutes, for iara- 

 cana is probably nothing but a color variety of lagopana Walsing- 

 ham. It differs only in that the head is a trifle more ochreous, the 

 dark costal strigulae of fore wings a trifle narrower, the dark areas 

 more suffused and the white less prominent than in Walsingham's
