184 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



black mark below the first divarication of the median nervure is angulated 

 in a similar manner to that in the other species. But the most curious 

 statement is that which he makes in speaking of the underside of 

 primaries, where he says that " the sagittate spots are more delicate, and 

 the nervules beyond them are distinctly yellowish or white," whereas these 

 yellowish or white lines are on the creases forming the centres of the inter- 

 spaces and not on the nervules at all. 



There are other slips in these two descriptions, but mention of these 

 is sufficient to show that Mr. Scudder's descriptions, though laboured, are 

 not always quite accurate. Mr. Scudder also speaks of these species as 

 flying — one in May, or early in June, and the other late in August, or 

 early in September. At Laggan, however, where my specimens were col- 

 lected by Mr. Bean, the difference of seasons was not so marked, as Freya 

 was obtained May nth and i6th, and Chariclea June 29th to July i8th. 

 The latter occurs, howover, later than this, and is doubtless found up to 

 the end of August.
