THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 155 



described apparently from Europe, and Hampson's description reads like 

 senescens, which is in accordance with Prof. Smith's diagnosis of the crassis 

 of the Berlin Museum. Type sejnisigna Walk., a female, locality unknown, 

 is a very badly rubbed senesce?is. I have no note that I have anywhere 

 seen any intergrades. The black specimen referred to in my previous list 

 as destroyed, was in all probability ?naida Dyar, which has recently been 

 taken at Banff. 



148. Luperina Jiiveivenosa Grote. — This is prior to viral is Grole, 

 and Sir George Hampson places the species in Volume IV in his new 

 genus Protagrotis. The type of viralis is in the British Museum, and is 

 a very badly rubbed male from Nebraska. The reference to 7iiveive?iosa 

 was shown in the collection when I was there, though it had not been 

 known when Vol. IV was published. The woodcut of viralis is very 

 poor, owing to the bad condition of the specimen. Prof Smith in his 

 Catalogue states that the type of niveiveiiosa is in the Graef collection. 

 The description was made from a single good specimen from Colorado, and 

 this, a female, is in the American Museum of Natural History, from the 

 Henry Edwards collection. I saw no type in the Graef collection at 

 Brooklyn. Grote described both as Agrotis. I examined the tibiae of 

 neither type, but that of viralis is stated to have a spine between the two 

 pairs of hind tibial spurs. I find this in two out of six specimens that I 

 have so far examined, and am not assured of its absence from the rest. 



149. Hade?ia passer Guen, — I have seven Calgary specimens in my 

 series at present, and have never taken many more. I am not sure as to 

 the extent of variation in this species. The type, a male from Trenton 

 Falls, New York, is in the British Museum, and is an even-coloured speci- 

 men, fairly well figured in the Catalogue, though the broad blackish t. p. 

 line from the costa to opposite the reniform is a mistake of the artist. 

 Type loculata Morr., from Evans Centre, is there also, and is like it but 

 more even. Type incallida Walker, from Trenton Falls, is, my notes tell 

 me, like my specimen previously listed as No. 155, wrongly as juorjia, 

 though I had not this specimen with me to compare. My specimen is 

 pale ochreous except on costa, termen and central band to just below the 

 median vein. Hampson's " ab. 1. conspicua " is like this, but has the 

 central band fairly complete. Type conspicua is stated to be in the Tepper 

 collection. I am not quite confident that my supposed incallida specimen 

 will not be found to belong to another allied species. Of this latter I have 

 one male taken here on July 9th, 1907, and one from Mt. St. Hiiaire,
