THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 147 



l)reviously mentioned in my list, but have one from Edmonton taken by 

 Mr. F. S. Carr on 7, vii, 10, which is like it as to maculation, but has 

 secondaries almost crimson, as in the Chicago specimens referred to as 

 aurantiaca. 



no. Neoarctia beanii Neum. — The larva has been described by Mr. 

 Gibson, from Sulphur Mountain, Banff, found by Mr. Sanson. (Can. 

 Ent., XLI, 400, Nov., 1909). Mr. Bean had previously briefly described 

 it in XXIII, 124, 1S91. He also found a larva on I\It. St. Piran, 

 Laggan, in the middle of July, 1S93, which produced a moth on Aug. 

 20th. "St. Piran" is the correct name for the mountain I have sometimes 

 referred to as " Piran," and which was at one time called " Niblock." 



111. N. yarrowi^\.xt\.c\i. — Mrs. NichoU took a specimen on a rock 

 slide above Lake Louise, about July 20, 1904. 



112. Phragmatobia fuliginosa Linn. — Occasionally met with since, 

 but I have never found it common. May 5th, 1906 (in sunshine), and 

 May 20th, 1907. 



113. Arctia caja Schrank. — Mr. Baird takes the species rather 

 commonly at High River, and sent me some labelled " var. Wiskotti,^' on 

 whose authority I know not. The secondaries incline to pale orange 

 rather than red, but I have seen nothing approaching what Holland figures 

 as IViskotti, from Colorado. Specimens from Vancouver have secondaries 

 scarcely darker. I have seen specimens taken in Calgary, but have none 

 of them in my collection. 



1 14. The species is that figured by Holland as Hyphoraia parthenos 

 Harr., and agrees with Hampson's description of parthe?ios, and not of 

 lapponica. 



115. Apantesis virgo Linn. — Another male at light here, July 27, 

 1907. Another taken by Mr. Hudson on July 20, 1906, also at light, is 

 of the variety i:///7;/j;7V? N. & D., having pale straw yellow secondaries 

 instead of red. 



116. A. virguncula Kirby. — Occasionally taken since. 



118. A. parthenice Kirby. — I have twenty-one males and three 

 females in my series,' carefully picked from a large number of specimens 

 through a course of years. There is a tendency to melanism in a few 

 examples. The inner transverse white line is either obsolete or defined 

 merely by a spot on the costa. In one specimen only it is visible as a dot
