82 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 



Mamestra distincta Kbn. One female, without date. 



Mamestra chunka Sm. One female, May 29th, 1913, standing 

 in company with one trifolii Rott., and one mntata Dod, under the 

 latter name. 



Mamestra farnhami Grt. 



Mamestra obesula Sm. 



Mamestra atlantica Grt. . 



Mamestra radix Walk. 



Mamestra subjnncta G. & R. 



Mamestra grandis Bdv. Some under their correct name, and 

 another series under legitima Grt. 



Mamestra lubens Grt. 



Mamestra trifolii Rott. Also a series of mottled specimens 

 erroneously as "var. trifolii, var. albfusa Walk, or^'goj/ica." 



Mamestra rosea Harv. 



Mamestra picta Harris. 



Mamestra assimilis Morr. 



Mamestra adjuncta Bd^^ 



Mamestra tacoma Strk. 



Mamestra lilac ina Harv. 



Mamestra goodellii Grt. var. acutermina Sm. Standing, (with 

 one Hadena plutonica )as neoterica Sm. It must be readily ad- 

 mitted that acutermina and neoterica are often most puzzlingly 

 alike in Manitoba, though I had not before imagined confusion 

 possible. It was surprising how well Heath had them separated, 

 though he had the names reversed. Two specimens of acutermina 

 also stood apart as " Noctua, not identified by Smith." 



Mamestra obscura Sm. Most of the series were more mottled 

 with brown than is usual in Alberta specimens. 



Mamestra renigera Steph. 



Mamestra olivacea Morr. Smith described the race from this 

 region as lucina, but I cannot see that the name is anything but a 

 synonym of olivacea. 



Mamestra lorea Gn. 



Mamestra anguina Grt., (syn. larissa Sm.) A series standing 

 as larissa were all correct. Of three specimens separated as 

 anguina, one was this species, and the other two cervina; whilst of 

 four specimens doing service for incurva Sm., two were larissa ^nd
