This is the red form of nubilofasciata^ and corresponds to red foim 

 reseda Swett, oi/urcata Thiinb., for the marginal b.ind separates ihem^ 

 as it does in all forms of niibilofasciata. 



Var. (I)) cumulata Swett, Can. Ent., Vol. XLII, Aug., 1910. 



Short palpi, suffused. 



This is the suffused form of ntibilofasciata^ and should be so placed. 

 It resembles slightly var. iiiter-fuscata Stand., oifurcata, and corresponds 

 to this variety, but tiie marginal band on fore wings separates them. 



Var. (E) vulnerata'^'^^X.x, Can. Ent., Vol. XLII, Aug., 1910. 



Short palpi, white-banded. 



This is the white-banded form of iiubilofasciata^ and corresponds to 

 fusco-iuidata Donov. of Europe, and is closer than to th.e American variety 

 (jifurcata^ form albifasciata. The ground colour of vulnerata is reddish, 

 with snow white mesial space. 



A^ar. (F) sparsimacula Hulst, Trans. Am. Ent. Soc, XXIII, p. 285, 

 1896. 



Short palpi, marks on costa only. 



I saw a specimen oi sparsimiiciila marked "type," in the handwriting 

 of Hulst in the Brooklyn Institute, agreeing with a photograph of the type 

 in the Hulst collection at New Brunswick, and this is a variety of 7iubilo- 

 fasciata, being greenish, with the bands showing at costa only. It is 

 possible these are rubbed specimens and not worthy the name, but it is 

 best to give it the benefit of the doubt until a series can be examined. 

 Types in Brooklyn Institute and New Brunswick are labelled "Calif." 

 Mr. Hulst says in his description, "near califoj'iiiata Pack.," but it 

 resembles neiiher this species uox glaucata, both of which belong to other 

 groups. 



4. Hyd. inanzanita Taylor, Can. Ent, Vol. VIII, also Grossbeclc, 

 Proc. Ent. St^c. Wash., Vol. X, Sept. 11, 190S. 



Short palpi, gray. 



"]1iis is the long-winged species, and not to be confused with any 

 other. Mr. Taylor kindly sent specimens from Victoria, and I have seen 

 them from other localities, and I do not see that they vary, all being a 

 dull gray. 



5. Hyd. cochiseata Swett, Can. Ent, July, 1909. 

 Short palpi, gray, white mesial space. 



This is a large species, and does not resemble any other so far as I 

 can see. The wide, white-banded mesial space would make one imagine
