46 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 



described and figured by Hampson as dunbari is probably a 

 strongly marked form of Lithalomia napcea. 



Momophana Grt. Columbiana Sm. stands as a variety of comstocki 

 Grt. I am by no means convinced that they are the same 

 species. 

 Graptolitha Hbn. Winnipeg immediately follows Idticinerea. I 

 consider them synonymous. Merceda (2159), should be re- 

 ferred to unimoda (2150). I compared Smith's type some 

 years ago, and came to this conclusion. There is a co-type of 

 merceda in the British Museum from Cartwright, Man. This 

 specimen has the maculation clearer than eastern specimens, 

 and being rather small, is undeniably tepida-V\ke in appear- 

 ance, but I am satisfied that it is really unimoda. Atincta 

 stands as a variety of tepida. It seems to me an exact 

 synonym. Heath used to send me tepida as both atincta 

 and merceda. 



The six names referred to georgii are correct, but questionably 

 recognizable as standing for varieties. 

 Conistra Hbn. Walkeri is treated as a synonym of sidus, and 

 Colorado as a variety. The latter reference is new to me, but 

 very likely correct. Walkeri I have never succeeded in 

 recognizing as distinct, and am satisfied to accept the re- 

 ference. 

 Paras'Achtis Hbn. is used for Amathes of Hampson, and Orthosia, 

 part, of Smith. I strongly object to verberata being treated as 

 a variety of bicolorago. I have pointed out the differences 

 in my Alberta notes, and have since found that the genitalia 

 differ. Nor do I believe that acta is distinct from decipiens. 

 My tentative reference of insipida Strk. to inops Grt.. made 

 after seeing Strecker's type in 1910, has been confirmed by 

 the authors. Americana, which Smith considered a probable 

 foreigner, has been retained, and so has immacnlata Morr., a 

 species still unrecognized, I believe. 

 Trachea Ochs. Ferida Smith stands here, as per Hampson. I be- 

 lieve it to be a Eumichtis, and associate it very closely with 

 miniota Smith. Purpnrissata B. & McD., described from 

 Vancouver Island, which happens to be the "aurajiticolor
