THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 59 



have adopted this form as the basis of his description of Manitoba, as he 

 describes the underside of the hindwings as being, except for the 

 markings, " almost uniformly greenish-yellow," although he has no 

 specimen of the Regina form in his collection. 



I am, however, strongly of opinion that the difference between the 

 Eastern specimens and those from Regina is sufficiently great to be 

 worthy of being indicated by varietal names, and if the name Manitoba 

 is to be restricted to the dark-brown or greenish brown specimens, as I 

 believe it was originally applied, I would suggest the name, var. Assini- 

 boia, for the light greenish-yellow Regina form. If, however, it is 

 preferred to call the latter Manitoba, I should suggest the name, var. 

 Lauren tina, for the dark-brown form of the Lower St. Lawrence.

 and black at costa along outer line ; outer field broadly black along costa 

 outside of outer line, becoming lighter posteriorly and along outer margin ;

I have four specimens — all females — from Arizona and Texas. The 

 insect very much resembles dark specimens of Mineola Juglandis, Le 

 Baron.
