380 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 



albipennis and declarata, and its exact status cannot at present be 

 determined, as a long series appears to inlergrade with both, with 

 a distinct balance in favour of declarata. The same may be said 

 of specianda Smith. The most interesting evidence deduced 

 from Heath's material in this group, showed the presumed identity 

 of indevsa Sm. This was described from Cartwright shortly before 

 Smith's death. Several years previously I had pointed out to 

 Smith that Manitoba spc'cimens associated with albipennis in 

 his collection were of the form he had described from a unique 

 as malis. But the type of malis happens to be a small and rather 

 stunted specimen, and he apparently ignored the suggestion, as 

 he never mentioned wa//5 in his description of n/rfewsa. The indensa 

 of the Heath collection was malis Sm., and the description fits. 

 I have been familiar with the form for many years, and believe 

 it to be a pale grey \ariation of albipennis. 



Etixoa tessellata Harr. A series under this name, and another 

 under focinus Sm., which is the same species. 



Euxoa basal is Grt. 



Etixoa ochro^aster Gn. Four small specimens of this species 

 stood separated asacutifrons Sm., presumably on Smith's authority. 

 I believe acutifrons to be a reddish form of /?55^//a/a, approaching 

 var. nordica Sm. The resemblance of these small ochrooaster 

 to reddish specimens of nordica was \ery striking, and Smith's 

 error in this case was less unjustifiable than was so often the case 

 with his determinations. 



Eu.xoa idahoensis Grt. Two specimens, as fur terns Sm. 

 which is \ery likely the same species. A specimen of apparent 

 ochrogaster stood with them, and indeed resembled them so re- 

 markably that the misassociation was quite excusable. 



Euxoa obeliscoides Gn. Smith re-described from Manitoba 

 specimens as inftisa. Specimens from this region almost entirely 

 lack the red shades of typical obeliscoides, though Smith's "species" 

 \A as not 1 ascd en the colour difference. 



Euxoa diver gens Walk. 



Euxoa redimicida Morr. 



Euxoa tristicula Morr., and the variety without the black 

 markings, remota Smith, which he re-described as nesilens.
