This little moth has suffered more than any other known to the writer by being made the sport of the makers of synonyms. No less than nineteen synonyms have been applied to it in addition to its true name. In Dyar's Catalogue it appears under the name orbica Morrison, and tecta Grote is given as a synonym. The student who wishes to know what some of the other names are which have been given to it may consult Hampson's "Moths of India," Vol. II, p. 251. It is found throughout the hot lands of both hemispheres.
