some of ihc bluer forms o(focinus, which Smith named objurgata for me." 

 But the nearest approach I have yet seen to it is a male co-type of neotelis 

 from Pullman, Washington, in Prof. Smith's collection, though that is a 

 good deal paler. The comparison was from memory alone. The type 

 locality of insuisa is presumably intended for Orillia, Ontario, whence 

 material may reasonably be looked for to decide the point. It is of course 

 not impossible that the locality is entirely wrong, and it may have been 

 taken west of the Rockies. 



Names which I associate closely with this group are tessellata Harr. 

 (No. 263) and ?iordica Smith (271) q. v. 



257. This species is certainly not intrita Morr., for note on which 

 vide under r^z/^tz infra. I have not yet found a name for it, and use a 

 manuscript one for myself It is an ally of intrita and basijlava, and 

 occurs on Vancouver Island. It is rare in collections. 



258. E. mollis Walk. — Several specimens were taken at light here on 

 July 5th, 1 910. Sir George Hampson's figure is fair of the female type 

 from St. Martin's Falls, Albany River, on the northern boundary of 

 Ontario. Ferfialdi Morr. has been correctly referred to the same species. 

 There is a female type from Oldtown (? Maine) in the British Museum, 

 and another, without locality label, in the Neumoegen collection at 

 Brooklyn. 



259. E. reuda Streck. — The specimen I recorded by this name, 

 which is still a unique so far as my local material is concerned, is probably 

 correctly named. I have a female taken last year by Mr. Thomas Baird 

 at High River, about thirty miles from here and farlher from the foothills. 

 This is smaller and more like some specimens received of the same 

 season's catch at Husavick and Winnipeg Beach, Man., from Mr. Wallis, 

 matching some of my long Vancouver Island series closely, except in the 

 slightly smaller size. In my hurry during my short day at the Field 

 Museum, I unfortunately overlooked the types of reuda in the Strecker 

 collection, but ray own specimens so referred, and all I have seen in other 

 collections, have been, I think, conspecific with intrita Morr., of which 

 the type, a male from Vancouver Island, is very well figured by Hampson, 

 and is a dark ferruginous brown form with indistinct maculation. Reuda 

 was described from Seattle, Washington, and the description reads like 

 the same species with more distinct maculation and black in the cell, the 

 females being stated to be much paler. Strigilis Grt., type a female in 

 the British Museum from Vancouver Island, is a rather dark though well
