A VARIETY OF HEPIALUS ARGENTEO-MACULATUS. 



BY E. F. HEATH, "THE HERMITAGE," CARTWRIGHT, MANITOBA. 



When Mr. Fletcher was looking over my cases of moths during the 

 short visit he paid me last summer, he particularly noticed a series of 

 Hepialus argenteo-maculattis, and suggested that a short description of a 

 variety that I have taken here would be interesting. 



This variety differs so much from the normal type that it might 

 almost be a distinct species, but that is a point I cannot pretend to 

 determine.
