variation of both. I sent both to Mr. Taylor as one species. Dr. 

 Holland's figure oi lacustrata is not very clear, and scarcely shows what 

 seem to me to be distinctions in my series. I find differentiating char- 

 acters in the secondaries not noticeable in that figure. In my lacust7-ata 

 the central band widens out considerably on both costa and inner margin, 

 and in seven out of eight specimens is sharply but narrowly notched on 

 vein 7. Sociata has the band narrower, more even in widih, and in none 

 of my specimens notched. The notch is shown in Dr. Holland's figure, 

 and the band is widest on the costa. Otherwise the figure might easily 

 pass for sociata. 



483. M. ifitermediata, Gn. — A single male, quite fresh, on May 

 13th, 1905. I recognized it as something new to me directly I saw ir, 

 though the colour and maculation suggested Xanthorhoe munitafa more 

 nearly than anything else I take here. In Can. Ent., XXXVI, 245, Mr, 

 Taylor points out that Dr. Holland's figure under this name is really 

 Petrophora fiucttiata. 



484. M. ii'tincata, Hbn. — Not common. Aug. 



485. M. si/aceata, Hbn., = aJbolineata^ Pack. — Rather common. 

 Middle June and July. 



486. — M. hej-si/iata, Gn. — Two males, Aug. 15th, 1901, at light, and 

 July 5th, 1903. 



487. Af. vasaliata, Gn. — Rather rare. Earliest April 27th. 

 Through May. A fair female specimen June 17th, and worn females up 

 to July I St. -
