Expands 35-38 mm. Palpi black ; front dark brown ; thorax dark 

 brown, mixed with blackish ; abdomen dark fuscous ; fore wings dark 

 fuscous, overlaid with black scales, with many of violet-brown, giving a 

 general dark, almost blackish-brown colour ; this darkest at base as shad-

 submarginal portions ; between middle and outer lines is a band of reddish- 

 brown, and on submarginal field a line of whitish lunules or scallops; a 

 marginal line of black dashes present ; discal spot a whitish annulus ; hind 

 wings fuscous in dark cross striations, heaviest and so darkest outwardly ;

 coarser blackish striations darkening the outer portion of the wing, the

Rossland, British Columbia; from Mr. Danby. '^I'aken by him from 

 April 1 8th to May 9th. The general appearance of the insect is much 

 like D. litaria, Hulst. 



Deilinia behrensaria, var. cervinicolor, n. van 



I wish to give this varietal name to the marked cervinous form of 

 D. behrmsaria, Hulst. The type form is reddish-ochre or ochre, while 

 the variety is very distinct in appearance, being of tjie colour stated above, 

 this replacing the colour of the type on all wings.
