130 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGISI. 



interesting Californian specimen has the fore wings concolorous dusky 

 greenish, but I do not think is a different species, though this is possible. 

 Guenee refers the species to Hccatcra_ but I have classified it as a Mavi- 

 tstra ; it is allied to the species with which I here associate it.

N. B. — This species is allied to the European M. strigilis and fasci- 

 iincula. The van ferrea occurs in Vancouver Island (Can. Ent. 7, 25) 

 and Washington Territory (Morrison leg.) The fore wings are different 

 shades of yellowish ferruginous, while they are more brownish in the 

 typical form from California.
