years ago called the same ,^ scolopendrina which he now calls modesta 

 and Dr. Ottolengui had called a (^ of the same species scolopendrma^ 

 whilst the same ^ which Dr. Dyar now calls scolopendrina^ Dr. Ottolengui. 

 then named modesta, so I presume that the two forms are not well known. 

 Whatever their correct names may be, I feel certain that my two forms are 

 two species, and told Dr. Dyar so when I sent them. He wrote : " They 

 certainly look like distinct species as you have them contrasted." Briefly 

 described, my scoiope?id?-i?ta has the ground colour white ; has patches of 

 fulvous scales on patagiae, on borders to median band, and anterior to apical 

 patch. The discal spot is narrowly linear, and there are three distinct 

 transverse crenulate lines beyond the cell, the inner one sharply toothed. 

 Expanse, ^ 42 mm , $ 46 mm. My modesta have the ground colour 

 distinctly tinged with ochreous and lack the patches of fulvous scales- 

 The discal spot is ovate rather than linear, the three transverse lines be- 

 yond the cell are much less distinct, and the inner one is not toothed. 

 Expanse, c? c? 38 mm., 9 40 mm. Dr. Holland's figure oi scolopendrina 

 bears a closer resemblance to this form than my No. 441. 



442a. U. (? var.) aibicoma, Strk. — A $ in fine condition taken 

 at Lethbridge on July nth, 1904, by Mr. Willing, which I have seen and 

 closely examined. Whilst it is almost exactly like Dr. Holland's figure of 

 aibicoma, I have carefully compared it with my specimens of scolopendrina 

 and modesta, and cannot help thinking that it must be distinct from either, 

 though certainly nearest to scolopendrina. It is whiter than that form, 

 has no fulvous scales, and the black on thorax and abdomen is more 

 confined to the dorsal area. The central band is very narrow, and the 

 line before it is almost entire, instead of composed of mere spots, and the 

 two inner lines of the three beyond the cell are obsolete. With the ex- 

 ception of a transverse shade on the secondaries, the specimen is alto- 

 gether less smoky.

445. Gyncephora Rossii, Curt. — Three specimens were bred by Mr. 

 Gregson in 1902 from larv?e found feeding on " cottonwood " ( Populus 

 deltoidea, or P. balsamifera) i^^jythe Blackfalds district. They all 

 emerged on the same day, June loth, but, unfortunately, two were 

 destroyed. The remaining specimen I have seen, and it was named by 

 Dr. Fletcher. There can be little doubt as to its identity. Mr. Gregson
