Closely allied to C. pr<zdara. It may be readily known by 

 the dark-olive or purplish gray-brown fore wings, with an 

 olivaceous tint, and by the even brown space between the 

 transverse posterior and subterminal lines. In prczdara the 

 fore wings are lichen green, with a silky lustre. The tooth 

 opposite the cell in C. manitoba is long and followed by a very 

 short one, while in pr&clara there are two long, sharp teeth. 

 The hind wings of both species are similar in color and 

 markings. 



C. manitoba was erroneously considered by me to be the 

 same as C. titania Dodge, and the note on the latter published 

 by Mr. E. Firmstone Heath (Can. Ent., Vol. XXXIX, 1907, 

 p. 376) belongs to C. manitoba. Recently I sent to Mr. G. 

 M. Dodge a specimen of C. manitoba to ascertain if it was the 

 same as his C. titania, and was informed that it is different. 

 Mr. Dodge kindly compared my manitoba with the single 

 existing type of C. titania in the collection of Mr. O. C. Poling. 

 The remaining types of C. titania were destroyed by fire. 



MR. E. T. CRESSON, JR., is working upon the dipterous family Ephy-

 exotic. Present address, 141 Locksley Avenue, Oakland, Caiif.
