NORTH AMERICAN EUCOSMINAE. 205 



Fernald was correct in his surmise that celtisana was the same as 

 vertumnana. I have compared Riley's type with the Zeller types at 

 Cambridge and find it equals " varieties " "A," " B," " C," of ver- 

 tumnana. Zeller had a mixed lot before him and the rest of the 

 " varieties " are not conspecific with the specimens labeled "A," " B," 

 and " C." " Variety D " is a Gretchena or Exentera. " Varieties " 

 " E " and " F " are something else, two distinct species apparently. 

 All are more or less rubbed and I would not attempt to place them 

 without an examination of their genitalia. The name, however, must 

 apply to the first "variety" ("A"), so the identity of the others is 

 of no great importance. 



Kearfott's xandana on both genitalic and pattern characters is an 

 obvious synonym. He had no specimens under Riley's name and evi- 

 dently did not know Zeller's species for the specimens he has so 

 named are not vertutnnana or any of its so-called " varieties."

This is probably also a synonym (or color variant) of vertumnana 

 Zeller. For the present I am keeping them separate as the aedoegus 

 of the genitalia is apx)reciably stouter in vertumnana than in zan- 

 dana. This may or may not be significant. It usually is.
