THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 133 



tion and elsewhere, it never occurred to me that two species existed 

 at all. But as I happen to possess no specimens from any 

 of the localities given for indela, I must give the form the benefit 

 of the doubt, whilst expressing the belief that all the above names, 

 with the exception, of course, of morna Streck., are probably only 

 forms of conradi, which both Hampson and Smith claim to have 

 from Calgary, and Smith also from Winnipeg. The type of conradi 

 is a female in the British Museum, from Colorado, and is, as Grote 

 describes it, "faded ocher brown, . . . the darker specimens 

 having base and subterminal space a little paler, . . . s.t. 

 line preceded by a diffuse darker shade." Citima Grote, type a 

 female from Arizona, in the Neumoegen collection at Brooklyn, 

 is like it, but darker and more strongly marked. It is correctly 

 referred as a synonym by Hampson, and Smith accepted the refer- 

 ence. Hampson separated conradi from his "morna' in the tables 

 by the pale s.t. area. Smith adds, "a rough powdery appearance." 

 Both these characters hold in my only southern specimen, from 

 Las Vegas Range, New Mexico, which I labelled as conradi after 

 comparison in the British Museum. Some of the more strongly, 

 marked and contrasting Calgary specimens have been cited as 

 conradi by both Sir George Hampson and Smith. I have no fault 

 to find with that, except to say that none that I have yet seen 

 from here are quite like the types of either conradi or citima. But 

 I have entirely failed, after repeated attempts extending over 

 twenty years, to recognize two species amongst my local material, 

 either on treacled posts, flying round a lamp, feeding on flowers, 

 or in the collection. Smith claimed genitalic differences for most 

 of the above named forms, though admitting that they were so 

 slight as to be scarcely noticeable. 



Belangeri Morr., found locally in the Province of Quebec, is 

 most suspiciously like a rather suffused fuscous race of conradi. 

 I am indebted to Mr. Winn for a nice series, and am able to match 

 more than one of the specimens almost exactly with some of my 

 local lineosa. The type is probably in the Tepper collection, but 

 I do not know its origin. Sir George Hampson makes it a synonym 

 of inficita Walk., apparently correctly, though that is an unusually 

 even red specimen. It is the specimen figured fairly well, but is 

 a male, not a female. It was described from an unknown locality.
