appears to be, though Mr. Day tells me that he is not aware that 

 the species has ever been taken either at treacle or sallows. And 

 as to veins 6 and 7 of secondaries arising from upper angle of cell 

 in Feralia, as described by Hampson, they do in one of my 

 Columbiana, but in the other are most distinctly stalked. 



607. Homohadena infixa Walk. — Very rare. I have only 

 three Alberta specimens in the collection. A female, head of Pine 

 Creek, July 23rd, 1901; a male from the Red Deer River, July 

 6th, 1905; and a male from Edmonton, May 14th, 1910, the latter 

 taken by Mr. F. S. Carr, at light. The female was included in 

 my original notes under badistriga (No. 181), Walker's type of 

 infixa is a badly worn male from Florida. Type kappa Grt. is a 

 male from Kansas, and apparently the specimen figured by Hamp- 

 son. They appeared to me to be the same species. I have eleven 

 specimens from Cartwright, Man., and have labelled one of these 

 as very like type kappa. 



Dinalda Smith was described in Journ. N. Y. Ent. Soc, XVI, 

 p. 91, June, 1908, from a male from Winnipeg, and a female from 

 Sandy Lake, Newfoundland, both in the Rutgers College collec- 

 tion, where I have seen them. The male is labelled July 19th, 

 1897, apparently by Mr. Hanham. I made no comment on the 

 female, so presumably accepted them as one species. I noted that 

 the male was a small gray species, and probably the same as that 

 in my collection from Manitoba, which I had compared with the 

 type oi kappa. Messrs. Barnes and McDunnough figure a Southern 

 Manitoba female in their Contributions II, No. 1, PI. XI, fig. 14, 

 as dinalda, concerning which they say on page 24: "Probably this 

 species, judging from the description; we have not seen the type. 

 It is probably identical with fifia Dyar, from Kaslo, B. C, which 

 we do not know." I feel confident in referring dinalda to infixa, 

 though typical specimens of infixa are rather larger and browner, 

 as are some of my Manitoba series. 



Fifia Dyar was described in Can. Ent., XXXVI, p. 30, Feb., 

 1904, from two specimens from Kaslo, as a variety of badistriga. 

 I saw a female type at Washington, and noted that it was a 

 species strange to me, though I had previously had a Manitoba 

 specimen of infixa labelled ''badistriga var. fifia" by Dyar himself.
