type, represent the same species or whether Grote's type series 

 was mixed. Judging by his figured type we were led to apply the 

 name campestris to the first form mentioned by us, but this will 

 need verification by an actual examination of the specimens, which 

 possibly Mr. Dod can carry out. 



Decolor Morr. presents a still more difficult and unsatisfactory 

 problem, since the type specimens cannot be found and are probably 

 destroyed; we placed the species tentatively as a synonym of 

 declarala but should not be surprised if it really were found to be 

 a dark form of tesseUata; the original description (1874, Proc. 

 Bost. vSoc. N. Hist., XVII, 162) is poor but mentions a dark, 

 terminal area and dark space between the spots, also a whitish 

 hind-wing with dark border; in Can. Ent. VII, 214, Morrison 

 elaborates on his previous description but his series then probably 

 contained both forms, and his remark about a yellow spot being 

 present at the base of the tegulse certainly savors of tesseUata, 

 although the fact that a slight, whitish scaling is often visible in 

 declarata makes it impossible to definitely refer decolor to tesseUata 

 on these grounds. 



Euxoa orbicularis Sm. The specimens figured by us (Contr. 

 1, (4), PI. XVII) as this species does not belong here at all but 

 should be referred to remota Sm., a species doubtfully distinct 

 from tesseUata. The true orbicularis, the type of which we have 

 seen in the Tepper collection, is an entirely different species which 

 we have no't yet satisfactorily indentified in our material, but 

 which seems best placed somewhere near mcerens Grt. 



Euxoa remota Sm. We cannot agree with Mr. Dod in re- 

 ferring tristicula to this species; it is true that the 9 's in the Hy. 

 Edwards' collection represent nesilens but the cf specimen in the 

 National Museum, labeled "type" and to which the name must 

 be held is a form (superficially like nesilens we admit) closely 

 allied to some of the tesselloides forms and well matched by the 

 specimen we figured as orbicularis (PI. XVII, Fig. 16). 



Graptolitha Winnipeg Sm. If a specimen before us compared 

 with type and marked "exact" be correct, we cannot agree with 

 Mr. Dod's reference of this species to laticinerea. The colour of 

 the primaries in Winnipeg is a distinctly dark blue-gray without 

 the greenish tinge found in laticinerea; a reference of tvinnipeg to 

 unimoda would have surprised us less.
