THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 53 



that of vohibilis, but has a very much more elongated orbicular, and is 

 not so dark in colour. I have ^ 6 sent me as volubilis from Chicago, 

 which are almost exactly like my species, but a little darker. Some 

 Calgary specimens have the secondaries equally dark, but this is a very 

 variable feature. My difficulty lies in my ignorance of the distinguishing 

 points of the two species. 



232. F. Va7icouverensis, Grt. — A single c^, dated June 9th, 1897, 

 agrees fairly well with Vancouver ernis that I have from Victoria, B. C, 

 but is rather paler and not so heavily marked. The specimen is slightly 

 rubbed. 



233. F. obliqiia, Smith.— (Can. Ent., XXXV., 5, p. 127, May, 1903). 



' Not common. At light and treacle. June. Described from Calgary. 



'I he type is at Rutgers College, and I have two ^ co-types. Rather 

 like the preceding species, under which name I had it for a long time. 

 Compared with that it is more unicolorous, and entirely lacks the purplish 

 shading and the dark shade preceding"s. t. line. 



234. Porosagrotis catetiula, Grt.?— I have three <^ $ and two $ ? 

 of a species to which Prof. Smith gave me this name some years ago. 

 Dr. Fletcher, however, tells me that they are not a bit like catenula in his 

 collection. My specimens are much more like Dr. Holland's figure of 

 vetusta than Sir Geo. Hampson's oi catemi/a, and of Sir George's descrip- 

 tion, agree rather with the former. I fancy the Calgary species is rather 

 more common on the plains than in the hills. At light, treacle and sun- 

 flowers. End July and Aug. 



235. P. mimallonis, Grt. — Very rare. Middle July to middle Aug. 



236. [/*. orthogo?ii(i, Morr.?] — A o dated Aug. 22nd, 1S95, taken at 

 'light, was so named, doubtfully, by Prof. Smith. It does not appear to 

 be the same species as a $ sent me by Dr. Barnes, labelled " So. Utah.'' 

 The Calgary specimen is badly rubbed, but I am unable to associate it 

 with anything else in my collection. 



237. Enxoa riifnatafia. Smith. — (Trans. Am. Ent. Soc, XXIX., 

 203, June, 1903). Described partly from Calgary material. The type is 

 from Volga, S. Dak., and is at Rutgers College. Rather like nivei/inea, 

 under which name I had it for years, but differing chiefly in having dark 

 margined secondaries. Very rare, August.
