302 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



250. E. incallida Smith. — I shall have to let the species stand under 

 this name at present. By comparison of types I decided that incallida 

 and liitiiknta were probably the same species as suggested by Dr. Dyar in 

 the Kootenai List. But Dr. Barnes, who has a series under both names 

 from the type locality, Sierra Nevada, California, thinks them distinct, and 

 makes qiiinquelinea a third species. The Calgary species is exceedingly 

 variable, and seems to be the same as the one recorded from Kaslo, and 

 is probably identical with the Nevada female figured by Hampson as 

 lutulenta. I have examined the specimen figured by him as incallida^ and 

 it is undoubtedly the Manitoba form I referred to, which still looks to 

 me distinct, nor can I give it any known name which satisfies me. These 

 specimens, however, come in an extremely difficult and variable group, 

 including a number of names, as to the status of which I have formed no 

 definite opinion, and with which I do not care to tamper just now. 



251. E. laggancE Smith. — I have examined the type from a drawing 

 from which Sir George Hampson's very bad figure is copied. I did not 

 recognize it as anything known to me, but am inclined to associate it 

 closely yj\\.\\/ttscige7'a Grt., of which I make terremis Smith a synonym, by 

 comparison with both types. The type oi fuscigera in the British 

 Museum is a male from Sausalito, Calif, but is not the specimen figured 

 by Hampson, which is from the same locality, but may not be the same 

 species. The type o{ terre?ius is a male in the Washington Museum, from 

 Pullman, Wash. Terr. One of my series oi fuscigera from Stockton, Utah, 

 is extremely like Smith's figure of laggance. 



252. E. testula Smith, = acoj'iiis Smith. — My notes say the type is 

 *' a grayish-brown, even acoi-7iisy In the type of the latter the spots 

 happen to be outlined with pale annuli, a rather unusual feature in the 

 species, but present in several of my picked series. In testula they are 

 outlined in dark. The species has occasionally been rather common in 

 September. 



253. The specimen referred to under this number still remains unique 

 so far as ray collection is concerned. I doubt its being diffonnis. 



254. E. recticificta Smith. — I re-examined the type of this when at 

 Washington, fifteen years after seeing it first, and I had certainly seen none 

 meanwhile. My suggestion that it might be aconiis proves wide of the 

 mark. I do not feel sure that it may not prove to be pedalis Smith, of 

 which the only type, a male from Colorado, stands by itself in the same 

 collection. The latter is larger, and reddish rather than yellow-luteous.
