C. shcba is presumably a valid species of the grotiana series, with 

 but little white on the primaries and at first glance closely resembling 

 some specimens of eastern hriseis.

 species and therefore type. 



Zazunga Dyar.

1911, Dyar, Proc. U. S. N. M., XXXVIII, 251, type designated Z. opinor.

moes Dyar. 



1920, Dyar., Ins. Insc. Menst., VIII, 100. Zasunga. 



Examination of the type of antennata in the Smith Collection and 

 of mocs in the National Museum shows that mocs is a synonym. 

 M. antennata was erroneously placed as a synonym of Afilia oslari 

 Dyar in the Check List ; which, perhaps, led Dr. Dyar into error. 



The authors possess no specimens of the Mexican species, opinor, 

 the type of the genus Zaciinga. 



Dr. Dyar's diagnosis of the genus omits characters referring to 

 the eyes, but the characters that are given are duplicated in Meleneta. 

 The untufted abdomen and serrate but not ciliated yellow antennae are 

 a peculiar combination. Dr. Dyar's placement of moes in Zasunga 

 seems confirmation of the fact that opinor and antennata {^=^mods) 

 are apparently congeneric.
