This seems to be a shorter and broader-winged form than the Euro- 

 pean, in which it would conform to Dr. Speyer's law of variation in the 

 NoctuEe. The outer line is less distinct than in the European species, of 

 which it may be a modification. 



ON PSEUDOHAZIS HERA (Harris). 



BY A. R. GROTE, BUFFALO, N. Y. 



Through the kindness of Lieut. Carpenter, I have received from Yel- 

 lowstone Park a ;^ specimen which agrees with Mr. Walker's description 

 oi pica (B. M. Lists, 13 18), and must be the same, although outside of 

 the common black outer fascia the wings are tinted with yellow, while 

 appearing white at first glance. But Walker's description seems identical 

 with Harris' Hera, and his specimen is from Doubleday also. Probably 

 the same specimen has been made the type of both species. Walker's 

 locality, " United States," is indefinite, and probably not as originally 

 given by Doubleday. Further comparisons are needed to settle the 

 differences between eglanterina and Hera, which I have considered (Am. 

 Phil. Soc, 1874, p. 4) as specifically identical. 



It is not necessary, at this time, to analyse Audubon's plate ; for the 

 two names, Hera and pica, are founded on specimens, and no name is 

 attached by Audubon or others to the original figures. I would correct 

 the synonymy of the two forms as previously given by me.
