344 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



thwaite, Man., took a specimen on August 5, and Mr. E. F. Heath tells 

 us that he has taken the species at Cartwright, Man., in company with 

 parthe7iice. Mr. Criddle has reared the larvae on the Northern Bedstraw, 

 Galium boreale, L., and on the Veiny Pea, Lathy rus vefiosus, Muhl. 



Ornata. — Mr. J. W. Cockle, the enthusiastic entomologist, of Kaslo, 

 B. C, has been good enough to send me the following note, which I have 

 pleasure in including here : 



"Kaslo, B. C. Larva found on ground June 3, 1904. Length 

 extended 1)4 inches. Face black. Skin of dorsum velvety black. Faint 

 dorsal stripe, formed of irregular dashes, colour reddish-ochre. Tubercles 

 shiny, black, most pronounced towards anus. Bristles slightly barbed and 

 black, except a itvr on lower side of stigmatal tubercles, which are 

 reddish-brown ; substigmatal bristles of the same colour. A few bristles 

 on segments 12 and 13 very long and fine, slightly roughened but not 

 barbed. Anus brown. Thoracic feet shiny black; prolegs reddish brown. 

 As I have so far only found one Apantesis here, viz., ornata, and its 

 varieties, and two years ago secured one larva like the above, which duly 

 emerged achaia, I have no doubt of the identity of this larva." 



In 1902 Mr. Cockle sent eggs oi ornata, but the larvte from these all 

 died after reaching Stage VL The difference between these and Mr. 

 Cockle's larva, above described, is that the latter had a broken dorsal 

 stripe, while those reared in 1902 had no markings whatever on the body. 



On May 12, 1905, a single mature larva was received from Mr. 

 Cockle. This was 46 mm. long ; width of head 3 mm. Body velvety 

 black, shading to a slaty gray, with a purplish tinge. Tubercles all black, 

 shiny, i about one-third the size of ii, which had a polished base. Bristles 

 from dorsal and lateral tubercles all black, from tubercle v and lower 

 tubercles all bright rusty. Spiracles wholly black. Faint traces of a 

 dorsal stripe. Thoracic feet black. 



On May 16 it spun a few threads of silk, but unfortunately died on 

 the 1 8th. 



Nevadensis var. incorrupta.^ — Among some Lepidoptera sent to the 

 Division for examination, by Mr. L. E. Marmont, of Rounthwaite, Man., 

 were two specimens of incorrupta ( $ and $ ), which had been reared 

 from larvae found in June on Castilleia sessiliflora, Pursh, and described 

 by Mr. Marmont as " yellowish brown larvae, with a mixture of yellow, 

 gray and black hairs ; cream-coloured dorsal stripe, broken on each 

 segment j large yellow warts across each segment. Spun up middle of
