L. halterata, to which this species seems nearest allied, occurs in Cen- 

 tral and Smith Europe and Middle Lapland, while /.. carpinata is found in 

 Central and Southern Europe, and also Eastern Siberia, the Ural Mountains, 

 and Amur. 



The specimens from Quebec and Amherst, Mass., differ from the Colo- 

 radian example in being whiter, with less of a flesh-colored tint, and with the 

 lines less distinct on the hind wings; but there is no essential difference in 

 the markings.
