pohano Sm. 



1899, Sm., Jour. N. Y. Ent. Soc, VII, 38, fOncocnemis. 



1906, Hamp., Cat. Lep. Phal. B. M., VI, 172, pi. C, f. 13 type, ignot., 

 Oncocnemis. 



The figures in Hampson's Catalogue ; a recent figure of the unique 

 type of pohano; and a specimen compared with both the type of 

 pohano in the National Museum and the type of nivcirena in the Henry 

 Edwards Collection, show pohano synonymous. 



The type of nireirena in the Henry Edwards Collection is some- 

 what faded, and hence browner than the specimen compared with it. 

 Another type is in the British Museum, 



Reference to Namangana is tentative. The fore tibiae are un- 

 armed, so the species cannot be placed in Oncocnemis. It is generically 

 related to perolivalis B. & McD., and albimacula B. & McD.. both of 

 the latter species having been described in Namangana. These three 

 species form a group with the eyes ciliated from behind, and from 

 the antennal bases ; and are related to that group of Bryoniima con- 

 taining falsa Grt, (fallax Hamp.), perolivalis having almost the iden- 

 tical maculation of falsa, but they lack the cilia from in front of the 

 eyes. Also, the valve of the male genitalia in the falsa group is nar- 

 row and rather pointed, while the opposite is true with the related 

 species placed in Namangana. 



iV. nivcirena appears to be widely distributed, but not common. 

 It is represented in the Barnes Collection from Shasta Co., and Loma 

 Linda. San Bernadino Co., Calif. ; Mohave Co., and Paradise, Cochise 

 Co., Ariz. ; and Eureka, Utah, It was described from Vancouver 

 Island, B, C, and California. The type of pohano came from the High 

 Sierras of CaHfornia. 



Namangana leucorena Sm. 



1900, Sm., Proc. U. S. N. M., XXII, 477, Caradrina. 



1909, Hamp., Cat. Lep. Phal. B. M., VIII. 556, pi. CXXXVII, f. 8, Nanwn- 

 gana (Namangana). 



The male type is in the U. S, National Museum, and is labeled 

 "Los Angeles County, California, Coq. collector," Besides the male 

 type, seven females were before Dr. Smith when he described the 

 species. One of these is in the British Museum ; one, in the Barnes 

 Collection ; and three, in the Smith Collection at Rutgers College.
