In the original description of hidUila Prof. Grote calls attention 

 to "the most prominent feature of the ornanientation of this species 

 and one which unites hoth sexes is the prominent v,hite or whitish 

 reniform spot." He adds that, in a single speciment the spot is dark 

 filled but that this is "evidently unusual". 



The name bullula m.ust therefore appl}' to the form with white in 

 the reniform; and if Hampson is correct in considering Mexican speci- 

 mens conspecific, mexicana Strd. is a synonym. 



Tlie form without the white in the reniform, and which Hampnon con- 

 siders the normal form may be called concolonita form nov. 

 Type locality: Kerrville, Tex. 

 Number and sexes of types: single 9. 



ClIAMYRIS CERINTHA ab. OBSCURA Dyar. 



1923, Dyar, Ins. Insc. Menst., XI, 19, Chamyris. 



Both the junior and senior authors have studied the type of 

 obscura and believe it to represent nothing more than an aberration of 

 cerintha with dusky secondaries. 



There is a single specimen in the Barnes Collection from Decatur. 

 111., which was compared with Dr. Dyar's type by the senior autho'" 

 and which appears intermediate between cerintha and obscura.
