202 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Carneades pitychrous, Grt. At Brandon, August 14th, 1897, ^^ golden- 

 rod, and quite common off the same flower at Carberry on September 

 14th, 1898 (during the afternoon). 



Carneades messoria, Harr. Brandon, at bloom, and Winnipeg, at light, 

 towards the end of July. 



Carneades incallida, Smith. Brandon and Cartwright. 



Carneades dissona, Moeschl. Brandon; one on September ist, I think, 

 at sugar. (Prof. Smith says it was described from Labrador.) 



Carneades tessellata, Harr. Common both at light and at bloom, during 

 the latter part of July. 



Carneades insulsa. Smith. Taken at light towards the end of July, and 

 the most abundant species at Brandon, during August, at bloom on 

 the prairies. Has been taken at sugar also. This species is ex- 

 tremely variable, some being almost black, while the rarest and most 

 striking form is almost equally light coloured. 



Carneades detersa. Smith. Cartwright. 

 " segregata, Smith. Cartwright. 



Carneades basalis, Grt. One specimen only at Brandon, at bloom, in 

 1896, near the end of July; also seen from Beulah, Man. 



Carneades ochrogaster, Gn. Very common under logs some seasons, 

 from end of July to end of August. Fairly common here at light, 

 and at Brandon at bloom. Sometimes on the wing during the after- 

 noon. Some of the forms of this variable species rank among our 

 handsomest Noctuids. 



Carneades infusa. Smith. Prof Smith, in naming my specimens, says 

 that this new species is allied to obellscoides. It was taken at 

 Brandon on August 31st and September ist, at sugar and at bloom ; 

 also seen from Cartwright. 



Carneades divergens. Walk. Very common at light, during the early part 

 of July, especially in 1897. 



Carneades redimicula, Morr. A few at bloom at Brandon in July, 1896, 

 and August, 1898. 



Carneades tesselloides, Grt. One at light in June. 



Carneades silens, Grt. Some beauties at light, from ist July to middle of 

 the month. At Brandon, off bloom, middle of July, 1896. An 

 occasional specimen has none of the dark markings. 



Carneades quinquelinea. Smith. " It is likely, from the material sent me 

 by Mr. Heath, that this is merely a very sharply marked incallida. 

 It should be so referred." — (J. B. S.) Cartwright.
