maculate specimen of the same species, and is well figured by Hampson, 

 Titubatis Smith, described from two males from Oregon, with mention of 

 Colorado specimens having been seen, is about intermediate between 

 strigilis and inirita, and is the same species. I have seen both types, one 

 at Washington, the other in Brooklyn Museum, I have a fine series from 

 Vancouver Island, and the variation covers all the above and more. My 

 series includes specimens well matched with all types except reuda. The 

 synonymy of this species, in order of publication, appears to be 



intrita Morr. 



strigilis Grt. 



titubatis Smith. 



reuda Streck. 

 Alticola Smith, described from the Sierra Nevada, Calif, is a very 

 near ally of the above, and may be the same species. I have seen seven 

 specimens marked "type" in the Rutger's College, Washington, and Henry 

 Edwards' collections, as well as a number of others from the same locality. 

 The colour is "a mixture of red and clay yellow, varying to a definite 

 bright red-brown or deep brick-red," as described in Smith's Monograph. 

 The variation seems to run suspiciously near some Vancouver Island 

 specimens of i?itrita, and individuals are in the Henry Edwards' collec- 

 tion from both localities, very much alike. In fact, as my notes say, 

 ^'alticola suggests to me the reddish end of the titubatis series." Harap- 

 son's figure is excellent of a Sierra Nevada male in the British Museum, 

 but the open, v-shaped orbicular is the artist's copy of an illusion caused 

 by an abrasion of the scales in that region on the left wing, the right 

 orbicular seeming to me round. 



260. The species I had listed as Euxoa rena Smith seems to be the 

 one which that author has described as cervinea in Trans. Am. Ent. Soc, 

 XXXVI, 262, Nov., 1910. The description was made from five males 

 and one female from Bozeman, Mont.; Vancouver, B C; Banff and 

 Calgary, Alta. Oi rena, described from the Sierra Nevada, Calif, I have 

 examined six or seven types in the Washington, Rutger's College and New 

 York collections. I did not feel confident that these were all the same 

 species. At any rate, a female type in the Henry Edwards' collection 

 struck me as being probably distinct from two male types there, and more 

 like some of the gray forms of the neotelis and tessellata group. In Prof 

 Smith's collection, he had a Calgary female (probably the one mentioned 

 under the description oi cervinea as possibly distinct) standing under rena 

 and specimens from Olds, Alta.. under dissona, under which name my No.
