70 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Mr. Edwards sends me a specimen of Syneda Stretchii Behr, from 

 Nevada, which will, I think, prove identical with my previously described 

 Coloradian species. 



775. Syneda divergens Behr, Trans. Am. Ent. Soc, 3, 27. 

 Sierra Nevada, Mr. Hy. Edwards, No. 4307. 



116. Syneda adnmbrata Behr, Trans. Am. Ent. Soc, 3, 27. 

 Sierra Nevada, Mr. Hy. Edwards, No. 2262. 



I do not think that either of these two latter species is the same as 

 our Eastern graphica. Divergens is nearer to hudsonica. If the differ 

 ences which separate these Californian forms are really of specific value, it 

 may eventuate that the specimen figured as the °. hudsonica is a distinct 

 species. Having only single specimens of the Californian species, and 

 without my types of hudsonica, I cannot attempt to offer any conclusions. 



777. Syneda Tejonica Behr, Trans. Am. Ent. Soc, 3,26. 

 FortTejon (Behr.) Unknown tome. 



77c?. Syneda nubicola Behr, Trans. Am. Ent. Soc, 3, 25. 

 Tuolumne River (Hoffman.) Unknown to me. 



up. Syneda maculosa Behr, Trans. Am. Ent. Soc, 3, 26. 



Tuolumne River (Behr.) Unknown to me. These two species may 

 belong to a different genus. 



120. Lita sexsignata Harvey, Bui. Buff. S. N. S., 2. 



Nevada, Mr. Hy. Edwards, No. 5536; California, Mr. Crotch in 

 Mus. Comp. Zoology, Cambridge. 



Behrensia. JV.g. 



Allied to Plusia. The head is sunken ; eyes naked, lashed ; labial 

 palpi with obtuse terminal article, second joint loosely haired. Maxillae 

 stout. Collar produced in front so as to stand off from the prothorax. 

 Thorax tufted behind, but apparently without the large dorsal tuft of 

 Plusia. Abdomen with a fan-shaped mesial tuft, which is concave on the 

 face, directed towards the abdominal tip ; sides tufted ; body pilose. 

 Antennae pubescent, simple. Ornamentation resembling Abrostola.
