THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 231 



Protagrotis (Luperina) nivewenosa Grt, This species, which 

 has occasionally, but by no means always, a spine on hind tibia, 

 is identical with viralis Grt. The fact was not known to Sir George 

 Hampson when he published a viralis. 



Luperina flavistriga Sn. One female, Aug. 1st, 1911. 



Luperina stipata Morr. 



Luperina passer Gn. There was also a male, dated July 25th, 

 1911, of a pale grounded, black shaded form of which I have seen 

 specimens from all the way from Montreal to Vancouver Island. 

 I have tried to prove this a distinct species, but so far unsuccessfully. 

 The genitalia in no wise differ from those of normal passer. 



Hadena indocilis Walk, and vars. runata Smith and enigra 

 Smith. Indocilis is the form standing in our lists as remissa Hbn. 

 After much attention to the subject, I have decided that runata 

 Smith and enigra Smith are in all probability variations of the 

 same species. Ferens Smith is an exact synonym of runata, and 

 ■enigra is exactly like some of my British specimens of gemina Hbn., 

 of which remissa Hbn. is a European var. corresponding to our 

 indocilis. Separans Grt. and lona Strk. are probably the same 

 species as indocilis, in which case lona refers to a form similar to 

 enigra. The male genitalia of all the above-named forms, st far 

 as I have yet examined them, both British and North American, 

 are alike. This is about the most variable of our Hadenas. The 

 Heath collection contained a single female only of the var. enigra, 

 lacking abdomen, but otherwise in splendid condition, and dated 

 June 26th, 1905. It stood in the series with miniota, to which it 

 bears a very close resemblance. 



Hadena alia Gn. and var. rorulenta Sm. 



Hadena vultuosa Grt. 



Hadena cerivana Sm. There was one very peculiar aberration 

 which I associate here, though it differed widely from anything 

 previously seen. 



Hadena later itia Hfn. 



Hadena duhitans Walk. The black form. 



Hadena plutonia Grt. About a third of the specimens so stand- 

 ing were this species, one was duhitans, and the rest Helotropha 

 renijormis.
