possibly be two species. I have specimens from Miniota and Aweme , 

 Man., and Vineyard, Utah, which resemble the Calgary form, and 

 two from Wellington, Vane. I., are paler, more luteous and less 

 maculate, probably like the Pullman form. The closest ally of 

 this secies is petulca Grt., which occurs on Vancouver Island 

 also. Amanda is a narrow-winged species, with a rather con- 

 spicuous pale yellowish patch in the cell, obscuring the upper 

 portion of the reniform and reaching to the t. p. line. In petulca, 

 though the spots themselves are yellowish filled, there is no such 

 patch. Another conspicuous character in amanda is that the 

 lower edge of the reniform is, in all my series, filled with dark 

 fulvous. It is probable that I may sometimes, in naming offhand 

 without comparison, have given the name amanda to pale speci- 

 mens of petulca. In fact I have suspected them of being variations 

 of one species, but am convinced of their distinctness. I have 

 often seen them mixed in collections. Amanda narrowly escaped 

 redescription by its author about two years ago. 



348. X.Jagina Morr. — I have not seen the type of this species, 

 but the Alberta form is the same as the fagina of eastern collections. 

 It is very rare here. 



349-350. X. georgii Grt. — I have taken no more specimens of this 

 species than those I originally listed as oregonensis Harvey, and ancilla 

 Smith, but after studying material from all over the continent for 

 some years I have long ago come to the conclusion that oregonensis 

 and ancilla of my list are the same species. I have a specimen from 

 Miniota, Man., compared with the type of georgii from Orillia, Ont., 

 in the British Museum, and this scarcely differs from my cotype of 

 ancilla. The species is one of the most variable of our Xylinas, the 

 variation consisting in differences in shade of the ground colour, dis- 

 tinctness of maculation, and size and shape of the discoidal spots. 

 Sgme specimens have slightly brown, almost reddish scales in the 

 reniform, though this is rather unusual. I offer a list of what I 

 consider synonyms of this species, with the type localities of each: 



Oregonensis Harvey, Oregon. 



Holocinerea Smith, Winnipeg, Man.; Vancouver, and N.W. 

 British Columbia; Pullman, Washington; Sierra Nevada, Cal. 



F'etcheri Smith, Ottawa.
