1. In 1874 Dr Packard 1 described and figured a Californian Geometer under the name Acidalia subalbaria. The type was one female, and the specimen was figured in teh photographic plate accompanying the paper.
In his monograph 2 Dr. Packard repeats the description word for word, merely adding after the word antennæ, “which are well pectinated in the male” (for at this time he had both sexes of the species), and at the end of his account he says “the male antennæ are well pectinated, an unusual exception to their oridinary form in this genus.” A lithographed figure is given (Mon. plate x, p. 63) of the male specimen, but the markings are emphasized in a way which gives a wrong impression as to their distinctness.
