3. Hyd. nubilofasciata Pack., Proc. Boston Soc. Nat. Hist., Vul. 

 XIII, p. 398, 187 I. Monog., p. 98, pi. VIII, figs. 31 and 35. 



Short palpi, yellowish. 



This is a good species and not a variety, as Packard placed it, being 

 distinct in its size and markings ixomfurcaia. It is incorrectly spelled in 

 Dyar's Catalogue. The marginal band on fore wing separates it from any 

 other species at a g'ance. The type have yellowish ground colour wiih 

 reddish shading in the mesial space, and it looks rather different from all 

 other species and varieties. It is closely allied io/urcaia Thunberg, so I 

 placed it to follow rejlata. Prof. Packard's plate in the Monograph clearly 

 shows the markings, and I think most collections have this form correct, 

 but it is a very variable species, and according to my colour theory has 

 the same varieties dis/wcata, which are as follows : The types, ^ and 9 

 (Edwards & Behrens), from California, are in the Packard coll. at Cam- 

 bridge. I have specimens from Oregon, Arizona, California and British 

 Columbia before me, showing that it occupies a wide range of territory. 



Var. (A) raptata Swett, Can. Ent., Vol. XLII, Aug., 1910. 



Short palpi, greenish. 



This is the green form of fmNlo/asciata according to my colour 

 scheme, and the markings are the same as type, only the ground colour of 

 the fore wings is green, without any other shading, making it look quite 

 distinct. 



Var. (B) scalata Warren, Nov. Zool., p. 519. Vol. If, 1904. 



Short palpi, green, red shading. 



I believe this to be a colour variety of nubilofasciata, as the latter is 

 found in the type locality, Mr. Marloff sending me specimens from Oregon. 

 Mr. Warren, in his description, speaks of the characteristic marginal band 

 which is found only in ?iubilofasciata, the difference being the colour of 

 the fore wings o{ scalata, green with red shading. 



Types, 2 ^'s, Gold Hills (Biederman) ; the siz^, 38 mm., is rather 

 puzzling, as the type is small. 



Var. (C) cupidata Swett, Can. Ent., XLII, Aug., 1910.
