RV HARRISON G. DYAR, U. S. NATIONAL MU.SEUM, WASHINGTON, D. C. 



Apatela tticesta, n. var. 



A very distinct form of the European lepoi'ina^ Linn.; dark gra}', fully 

 as dark as Canadensis, .Smilh & Dyar, which it much resembles ; but tlie 

 basal line is broken and the transverse posterior line is dentate as in 

 leporina. 



Described from 6 specimens, Kaslo, B. C. 



U. S. National Museum, type No. 7322. 



Apatela griseor, n. var. 



A western variety o{ innotata, Guen., slightly larger, the white ground 

 colour more distinctly strewn with black scales and the black marks 

 bordering the usual lines sharper and more pronounced, especially notice- 

 able in the transverse anterior line. In innotata this line is almost lost ; 

 in griseor it is often nearly as obvious as the transverse posterior line. 



Described fron) i6 specimens, Kaslo, B, C. 



U. S. National Museum, type No. 7323. 



Apatela dolorosa, n. var. 



A western form of distatis^QtXoX.^; darker than its eastern ally, both in 

 the tone of the gray ground and the amount of black shadings. It 

 closely resembles emaculatci, .Smith, from the same region, but is a less 

 smoothly gray and has nioic marked contrasts between the light and dark 

 shades ; the transverse posterior line is more distinctly dentate, and there 

 are other slight differences, so that I think wc have to do with distinct, 

 although closely allied species. 



Described from 3 specimens, Kaslo, B. C. 



U. S. National Museum, type No. 7324. 



Platy perinea ana t ha, n, sp. 



Luteons, strewn with dark scales. Head and palpi black-brown, 

 thorax and abdomen luteous grayish. Fore wings shining luteous, basal 

 line rather distinct, broken, the costal half supplemented by an outwardly 

 placed shade on inner margin ; t.-a. line distinct, single, brown-black,
