THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 175 



The white bands occupy the same position as in sequoiolus, but I do 

 not think it is a form of that species, although eventually it may be found 

 the same. 



Hepialus Baroni, //. s. 



Four specimens. A distinct species, with concolorous primaries on 

 which the bands are hardly legible. In the best marked specimens they 

 are gray, while the wings are tinged with dull red. The third and fourth 

 bands are fused, and the outer edge of the fourth band is even and 

 marked. At first sight there is little visible except the broader, extra, 

 basal, curved gray band, and the band beyond the cell which I call the 

 fourth. There is a subterminal, narrower, or fifth band. Thorax and hind 

 wings blackish tinged with dull red. Expanse 32 to 48 mil. 



Named for Mr. Baron, of Mendocino, with whom I have spent some 

 pleasant days in the collection of Lepidoptera. Specimens vary much 

 in size. 



Hepialus Lenzi, 11. s. 



Six specimens. The smallest species and the brightest colored. The 

 ground color is blackish and there is a very bright red tinge on the 

 fringes, costa and the bands. Of these but two are visible, ochre in 

 color, margined with bright red ; the outer furcate superiorly, the inner 

 rounded, and limiting outwardly the paler base of the wing. The hairs 

 of the thorax have a bright red tinge ; the abdomen is more yellowish 

 brown. The blackish hind wings have yellowish fringes. Beneath the 

 legs are tinged with very bright red, and so also is the costal margin of 

 the wings. Expanse 25 to 27 mil. 



This pretty species I name after Professor Henry Lenz, Curator of the 

 Lubeck Museum. 



In conclusion, I express my obligations to Prof. A. R. Grote, Director 

 of the Museum of the Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences, for an 

 examination of my types and his opinion on the same. 



After examining my type of Saturnia mendocino, described in the 

 Entomologist, Prof. Grote considers it a true Saturnia, and points out 

 that in its yellow hind wings it resembles the European S. carpini $ , 

 while it differs from the European species of the genus by the obsolescence 

 of the lines, the concolorous wings and the reduction of the ocellate 

 marks in size.
