THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 31 



Two specimens marked " Harrisii, Grt., ^ type " ; these agree 



together in colour and markings and with Bird's specimen which I took 



over. 



Over the label " var. Harrisii" are two specimens, one labeled: 



GORTYNA, ^ TYPE. j Is much deeper and brighter in colour than 



HARRISII, GROTE. i ^j^^ ^^^^^ Specimens of Harrisii, but 



appears to agree with them in markings. The other specimen is v/ithout 

 label, but is a fairly fresh Rutila. 



Purpurifascia, G. & R. — There are four specimens, which seem to 

 be correctly named, but are in poor condition. 



Baptisice, Bird. — One fine bred specimen from Bird. 



Appassionata, Harvey, type. — In fair condition, but badly set and 

 sprung, the wings sloping down. The fore wings rather narrower and 

 slightly more elongated than in the specimens bred by Bird, but not quite 

 so sharply pointed at apex as indicated in a drawing made for me by Mr. 

 Knight. Hind wings with outer half more distinctly rosy than in Bird's 

 specimen, and more distinctly limited on inner edge by median line. In 

 my opinion there can be no doubt that the species bred by Bird from the 

 Pitcher Plant ( Sarracenia Purpurea) is the true Appassionata. 



Buffaioensis, Grote'.s type, is the only specimen in the collection. 

 The right primary is badly slit to the base, but the specimen otherwise is 

 in good condition. Ic is of a rich red-brown colour. 



Pieiita, Streck. — Is not represented. 



Impecuniosa, Grt., type. — In rather poor condition. 



Cataphracia, Grt. — Three specimens, two being fairly fine. 



Rigida, Grt., type only. — In poor condition. 



Cerifta, Grt., type — Large in size. Right side in poor condition, left 

 side fairly good. 



Erepta, Grt , type. — Unique. In rather poor condition. A peculiar- 

 looking species. From " Douglass Co., Kansas, 900 ft. F. H. Snow." 



Inqucesita, Grt. — Two fine specimens. 



Up to 1900, when I presented a specimen of Hepialus Thule, Streck., 

 to the Museum, that species was supposed to be lacking, but on this 

 occasion, when looking over the drawers containing that genus to see if 

 Grote's type of H. gracilis was in the collection, I discovered a specimen 

 of Thule in fair condition, which has been in the collection ever since 

 1844, or for 31 years before the species was described. According to th^
