278 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



discal spots more evident than above ; and there are about eight cross 

 hnes traceable from margin to margin. 



The dates of my specimens run from loth June to 12th September. 

 The species is very closely allied to £. cas/oaia, Dyar, from British 

 Columbia, and to Eup. fumata and E. indistincta, which will be described 

 in the present paper. It is also near to E. fumosa, Hulst, as I under- 

 stand that species. 



I have little doubt that my specimens are conspecific with the type 

 oi gemmata, Packard, figured in Plate viii, fig. 3 in the Monograph, but to 

 guard against mistakes I have placed a type label on a very perfect speci- 

 men o{ Packardata taken at Ottawa (7, viii, '06) by Mr. C. H. Young. 



Eicp. palpata, Packard, 5th Rept. Peabody Acad. Sci., 58, 1873. 



This species, as stated above, was abandoned by Packard himself as 

 being the same as E. luteata. 



Eup. interruptofasciata, Packard, 5th Rept. Peabody Acad. Sci., 59, 

 1873. Monograph, 52, PI. viii, fig. 5, 1876. 



This species was very fully and carefully described by Packard, and 

 I think there cannot be any doubt as to the form he had before him when 

 drawing up his description. It must be borne in mind, however, that he 

 only distinguished 12 out of our 40 or more eastern species, and that his 

 series under each name would, therefore, almost certainly be mixed. No 

 weight, therefore, can attach to specimens distributed by Packard as 

 typical., any more than to so-called authentic specimens of inisurelata, sent 

 out by Grote. 



When writing the Monograph, Packard sunk his interruptofasciata as 

 a synonym of miserulaia, but in my opinion the two are abundantly 

 distinct. I understand that the original types of Packard's species are not 

 now in the collection at Cambridge. I?iternipto/asciata, as I have 

 identified it, is not a very common insect. 



My best specimens were bred by Dr. Fletcher from larvae found on 

 Juniper at Hull (Province of Quebec) in May, 1904 (see description of 

 larvae by Dr. Fletcher and note by me in Can. Ent., XXXVII, 262). 

 This species is an autumn flier. Dr. Fletcher bred specimens emerging in 

 September. It is very closely allied to my Eup. impedita, to be described 

 in the present paper. 



Eup. Strattonata, Packard, 5th Rept. Peabody Acad. Sci., 60, 1873. 

 Monograph, 58, Plate viii, fig. 8, 1876. 



This species was described from one female taken by Stratton at 

 Natick, Mass., on July 17th.
