98 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 



aberrations, including two European, one Asiatic, and three North 

 American ; viz : 



"americana. — Fore wing rather more orange-red. East- 

 ern States and Canada. 



inter oceanica. — Fore wing browner. Western Canada. 



pacifica. — Fore wing grayer, CaHfornia." This latter is 

 not in accord with Smith's diagnosis. 

 367. H. pallescens Smith. — The male and female types in the 

 Washington Museum are from Calgary. They differ from medialis 

 from Colorado in lacking the reddish tints, and in having the entire 

 ground colour washed with white. Some Calgary specimens are 

 a good deal darker than the type, but scarcely reddish. The form 

 was not even recognised as a variety in Dyar's catalogue, though 

 the difference in colour is somewhat striking. Hampson treats 

 them as species. I think it likely that the differences are mereh^ 

 varietal, but have not seen enough Colarado material to enable 

 me to form a fair judgment, and have none from there in my col- 

 lection. Mr. Baird has taken pallescens at High River, and I 

 have it from Cranbrook, B.C. 



368. Papaipema sp.? The type of impecuniosa is a male 

 from Massachusetts, and is in the British Museum. Sir George 

 Hampson figures a specimen like it. There are two Red Deer 

 River specimens from me in the same series. But, like the rest 

 I have seen from that locality, they differ from impecuniosa in the 

 form and course of the central shade, which is more like that in 

 purpurifascia, rigida and verona, the latter being a much paler 

 thing from Winnipeg. The form of the t.p. line is something 

 between that in impecuniosa and purpurifascia. The colour and 

 maculation otherwise is much like that of impecuniosa, but the 

 orbicular and claviform may be either yellow or white. Unfortun- 

 ately I have only three specimens now left in my collection, not 

 having visited the locality for some years.
