10 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 



sociated them from a figure of the latter which was described 

 in 1890 from a single poor and badly-rubbed specimen from 

 "N. W; B. C." I did not recognize it when I saw the type, 

 which must be a very pale specimen. I had not previously 

 heard of collocata from Canada. 



E. rtibefactalis Grt. is made a synonym of infracta Morr., which is 

 also new. The latter is known to me only by the description, 

 which is meagre, but does not misfit. 



E. relaxa Sm. It is a surprise to see this referred to septentri'onalis 

 Walk. I knew the latter well by sight when I saw the type 

  of relaxa in 1910, and pointed out several specimens of what 

 I believed to be Smith's species to Dr. Barnes about a week 

 later, amongst a lot of unstudied material which he handed 

 me to look through. I never for one moment associated it 

 with Walker's species, and am under the impression that it 

 is still absent from my own collection. I am not willing to 

 accept the reference at present. 



E. declarata Walk., with decolor Morr. as a synonym, is kept dis- 

 tinct from campestris Grt. Walker's type is a rather large 

 male from Vancouver Island. Grote's is a rather smaller and 

 narrower-winged female from New York. Both are even, dull 

 fuscous brown. It would be hard to find two specimens more 

 alike in colour, and all the details of maculation are exactly 

 similar also, and, as I have before stated, I consider them 

 identical. Morrison's type I never saw. Smith stated that 

 it was a form with contrasting light and dark shades. The 

 original description is not very lucid, but seems to indicate 

 something of the kind, especially as it begins, "allied to 

 genicidata.'' 



E. tessellata Harris. The synonyms and varieties placed un- 

 der this name are, as a whole, much as i had them in my own 

 notes, though it is not clear why five of Smith's names stand 

 as synonyms of var. tesselloides. Judging from a number of 

 figures by the authors as orhictdaris Smith, I should include 

 that without question. But this name stands as a species separ- 

 ated from the present one in the list by over sixty others,
