Of the eight specimens before me seven were collected by Mr. Doll, who says that ho finds the pupae very early in spring. The species is not by any means a common one, and is but rarely represented in collections. It may be that it is sometimes taken and discarded as an undersized hamamelis. One specimen has a very dark smoky ground color, with a faint greenish tint that is quite characteristic, but other specimens iire much like the average run of hamamelis, except for the size and nar- row wings. There is nothing characteristic in the structural details. ACRONYCTA RETARDATA Walker. (Plates II, adult; XII, fig, 14, female adult; XXI, fig. 29, male geaitalia.) Miciocoelia retardaia Walker, Can.
