Holotype — Fort Resolution — Aug 24th, 1914. (F. Harper.) 



Allotype — Topotypic. 



Paratypes — 2 o^cf, 3 9 9, topotypic; 1 9 , Island at mouth 

 of Rocker River, Aug. 16th, 1914. (F. Harper.) 



The variation in the length of the subcostal vein gave me the 

 impression at first that I had two distinct species to deal with.

 paidina), habilis, neogama, one nebulosa, palcsogama, two piatrix, 

 the first of the season, cara and other moths. Temperature 90°.
