234 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Museum I compared specimens from New York, Orono, Maine, and 

 Cart Wright, Man., which seemed to me all the same species. I have a 

 specimen from Field, B. C, and Dr. Dyar records versida from Kaslo, 

 suggesting that it may merely be the western form of ducia. I have a pair 

 from Duncans, V. L, which are browner and rather more heavily marked 

 only than some of my local series. 



164. H. ferejis Smith. — I make this a synonym of runata Smith, 

 described from Winnipeg. I have examined a female type and a co-type 

 of the latter in the Washington collection, two female co-types in Prof. 

 Smith's collection, and a male co-type in the Strecker collection. Calgary 

 specimens oi f evens in the Washington collection are like the type of 

 runata. The latter name stands in both Dyar's and Smith's lists as a 

 synonym of lo7ia Strecker, and Sir George Hampson makes the same 

 reference, figuring as lona a female from Pullman, Washington. The 

 figure is faulty, and the orbicular is not gray in the specimen, though that 

 on the left side happens to be rubbed. I question whether the species 

 figured is lona^ of which I have seen Strecker's type, a female from Clyde, 

 N. Y. This my notes say is " larger than rtmafa, but doubtfully distinct." 

 Pullman, AVashington, is mentioned as a locality under the description of 

 runata. It probably occurs there, as I have it from both Windermere? 

 B. C , and Vancouver Island, but a male from PuUman, labelled 

 " runata " in Prof. Smith's collection has lashed eyes, and seemed to me 

 a Eumichtis near, and possibly not distinct from versuta. 



Separans Grote, of which the male and female type from Evans' 

 Centre, N. Y., are in the British Museum, Hampson treats as distinct. 

 He figures the male type, but the dark markings of the figure are nearly 

 all too pale. Its distinctness from runata is by no means certain. In the 

 Washington collection is a male from Racine, Wis., labelled " separans, 

 like type," which is slightly paler and more ochreous only than a male 

 ferens from Calgary in the same collection. 



I do not appear to have met with €\\\\tx ferens or indocilis here since 

 publishing my original notes, in which I referred (under '• remissa '') to a 

 close resemblance between them. I certainly have nowhere seen any 

 intergrades, but the two are very close allies at best. 



165. H. efiigra Smith. — No more specimens have been taken here 

 since my notes were published, and the material in my collection has 

 dwindled to a single male co-type. In the Washington collection are a male 

 from Calgary, and a specimen on a short pin, lacking abdomen and head.
