THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 401 



is certainly very close indeed. Grote's note under henrici in his 

 1895 List — "an spec, europ.?" — is apparently intended to apply 

 to "aberr. fumosum Morr." only. 



596. Merolonche lupini Grt. — Three specimens taken at Banff. 

 Two of them dated June 6th and 12th, 1910 (Sanson). 



597. Bryophila avirida Smith. — (Journ. N.Y. Ent. Soc, XIV, 

 p. 10, March, 1906). — Described from four specimens. The male 

 type is from Cartwright, Man., and the female from Ft. Collins, 

 Colo. I took several specimens on the Red Deer River on July 

 6th and 7th, 1905, and have a good series from Miniota and Cart- 

 wright, Man., dated from June 14th to July 8th. Mine were 

 beaten from bushes in the daytime. As described it is darker 

 and more obscurely marked than lepidula. It is also stated to 

 have "all the green shading eliminated." Hampson mentions no 

 green, and yet, to my eye, an olivaceous green tinge is evident 

 both in the types and in every one of my series of thirteen specimens, 

 and in some from Miniota it is very pronounced. Hampson, 

 besides specimens from Manitoba and Alberta, lists a female from 

 New York. The type of lepidula is catalogued as from Missouri, 

 and has most of the pale areas pale green. A Columbus, Ohio, 

 female in Smith's collection, seemed to me about intermediate, as, 

 indeed, are some of my Miniota specimens. From what I have 

 observed I feel bound to look upon the form as a variation of 

 lepidula. 



598. Senta dejecta Grt. — Two at light at head of Pine Creek 

 on August 15th and September 3rd, 1904. A third bred in August, 

 1905, from larva found in stem of a reed-like grass known locally 

 as "red-top" in a slough on the prairie near Gleichen a few weeks 

 previously. A number of larvae were secured, the stems being cut 

 off above and below them and placed upright in wet sand, but all 

 the rest died. I have compared one of the specimens with the 

 type, catalogued as merely from "U. S. A." 



599. Luperina extensa Smith. — (Journ. N.Y. Ent. Soc, XIII, 

 203, Dec, 1905). — Type a male from Regina, Sask. Syn. Perigea 

 fiavistriga Smith (id. p. 204). Type a female from Lethbridge, 

 Alta. The descriptions were made from single specimens, both 

 taken by Mr. T. N. Willing. The synonymy has been published 

 by Smith himself. I have a female taken at treacle by myself at
