178 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Eutolype bombyciformis, Smith. 



Eutolype Rolandi, Grote. 



Mamestra assimilis, Morr. 



Hadena passer, Guen. 



Hadena indirecta, Grote. Dr. Smith remarks : " Quite a new- 

 locality for this species. I have it from British Columbia and the Rocky 

 Mountain region, but have never had it from anywhere near you." 



Hadena diversicolor, Morr. 



Taeniocampa vegeta, Morr, 



HomogL'ea hircina, Morr. 



Cucullia florea, Guen. 



Heliothis (Chloridea) rhexia, S. & A. 



Galgula liepara, Grote. I took my first specimen of this insect in July, 

 1896, and sent it to Prof. Fernald, under the impression that it was a 

 Tortricid, who kindly named it for me ; Mr. Bice's specimen was so dis- 

 similar that I did not recognize it. 

  Homoptera Woodii, Grote. 



Palthis asopialis, Guen. 



Brotis vulneraria, Hub. 



Semiothisa dislocaria, Pack. 



Boarmia pampinaria, Guen. 



Eubyia cupidaria, Grote. 



Besides those altogether new, there were many interesting and 

 unexpected varieties of common things brought to view by Mr. 

 Bice's collection ; which when disclosed were quite surprismg to one 

 not familiar with the extent and direction variation may go in some 

 species, emphasizing with special force what Dr. Skinner gives in 

 the subjoined extract as his experience with the butterflies : 



" When I commenced my collection I was satisfied to have a 

 single pair to represent the species, but now I cannot get enough 

 individuals to represent all manner and kinds of variation brought 

 about by natural causes. In the past I, therefore, knew this species 

 or that, but now in many of our genera I nearly get brain fever 

 in trying to determine where a species begins or ends."
