THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 379 



Eiixoa vellenpennis Grt. And other specimens of it as per- 

 polita Morr. 



Euxoa catenula Grt (syn. contagionis Sm.) Two specimens, 

 of which one female only was dated, Sept. 24th, 1910. It was a 

 surprise to see this species from Manitoba. It is extremely rare 

 in Canada. 



Euxoa scandens Riley. Standing as Porosagrotis vetusta 

 Walk., which was not in the collection. 



Euxoa deterra Walk. 



Euxoa poncha Smith. Three males, fortunately all dated. 

 Sept 17th, 1904; Sept. 13th, 1910, and Sept. 20th, 1911. Heath 

 had presented me with a fourth specimen about a year previously. 

 It had stood in his collection as citricolor on Smith's authority. 

 That determination was obviously wrong, though it resembles 

 it in colour I submitted a specimen to Messrs. Barnes and 

 McDunnqugh, who decided that it was almost certainly poncha, 

 one of the last species described by Smith, from Poncha Springs, 

 and other localities in Colorado. It is allied to medialis and 

 ccenis, but very closely to citricolor. 



Euxoa messoria Harr. A series correctl}^ and others as 

 fuscigera Grt., and septentrionalis Walk. Two specimens of 

 pindar Smith stood under abar Strk. I am under the impression 

 that pindar is a variation of messoria. Abar Strk. is divergens Walk. 

 L have seen Strecker's type. 



Euxoa pleuritica Grt. 



Euxoa incallida Sm. Some specimens stood separated as 

 qiiinquelinea Sm. 



Euxoa rena Sm. Standing as dissona Moschl. 



Euxoa declarata W^alk. ( =instdsa Sm., nee Walk.). This 

 species was very badly mixed. A confusion of it with albipennis 

 is always excusable, as they are realh- very close allies. A worn 

 series did duty for intrita Morr., and an aggregation referred to 

 titiibatis consisted principally of worn declarata. 



Euxoa albipennis Grt. A long series stood under this name 

 and verticalis. The latter is a form al)out intermediate between
