THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 397 



a large number of forms previously unrecorded from the province, 

 and several species of extreme rarity in collections, some entirely 

 new. Mr. Bean, who I believe left Laggan for his old home in 

 Illinois about 1895, probably has many records which have not 

 yet come my way, though I found a few of his captures new to me 

 in eastern collections. In a very small collection from Edmonton, 

 shown me by Mr. F. S. Carr, the percentage of fresh records was 

 high, and even the city of Calgary has produced species never 

 taken on Pine Creek. An extensive collection was made at Cal- 

 gary, and some fifty miles further northwest, near Didsbury, 

 throughout several seasons. But I never had a chance to look 

 through them, though the results of the small portion I did examine 

 were tantalizing. My "List" was quite correctly entitled "Pre- 

 liminary." 



584. Hemaris thysbe Fabr. var. cimbiciformis Steph. — A speci- 

 men taken at sallow blossoms at Edmonton on May 13th, 1910, 

 is now in my collection. I recorded the specimen as ruficaudis 

 Kirby in Mr. Gibson's "Record" for 1910. I now follow Messrs. 

 Barnes and McDunnough's treatment of the forms in their List of 

 Sphingidse, Psyche, XVII, p. 200, Oct. 1910. They there make 

 thysbe, fuscicaudis and cimbiciformis forms of one species, and 

 state that the latter has olive markings on last abdominal seg- 

 ments, and anterior edge to outer brown bofders of primaries 

 entire, and not dentate as in thysbe, to which they refer ruficaudis 

 Kirby — not recognisable from Kirby's description — as a synonym. 

 I have exactly the same form from Field, B.C., dated July 6th, 

 perfectly fresh, and from Chicago, June 28th and Aug. 4th. The 

 form has the olivaceous thorax of Holland's PI. II, fig. 5, of thysbe, 

 and differs in that respect from his fig. 6 under cimbiciformis, of 

 which it has the entire border. I have another Chicago specimen 

 almost exactly like this fig. 6. 



585. Lepisesia juanita Strk. — A male taken by the author, 

 feeding on the wing at thistles, on the Red Deer River, 50 miles 

 northeast of Gleichen, on July 6th, 1905, comparatively fresh. 

 The secondaries are a bit paler, and the anal mark less distinct, 

 but otherwise it is extremely like the juanita of Holland's figure. 

 I have clarkice from Oregon, and from Duncans and Wellington, 

 Vancouver Island, These differ in many details of shape, colour
