300 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



none of my specimens have as wide a band. In all my series the 

 median band is entire. 



442. H. modesta Huds. — Besides the three previously referred 

 to, I have only taken four m.ore specimens, on June 7th and 17th, 

 1910. In three out of this series of seven the niedian band is broken 

 centrally and forms two quite distinct blotches. In a fourth it is so 

 constricted that the margins nearly meet below the m.edian vein. 

 The others are not unlike Holland's scolopendrina, referred to above, 

 and have a similar band on secondaries, but the ground colour of my 

 specimiCns is m.ore oclircous, the transverse postmedial lines m.ore 

 distinct, and the discal dot on all wings heavier. I query the name, 

 as I find I have made a note to the effect that, "Packard's figure of 

 boreal is is the 'modesta of my Calgary list." If the note and Pack- 

 ard's figure are correct, it remains to be discovered what is the cor- 

 rect nanie for the species — not in my collection — figured by Holland 

 as borealis, and standing as such in the British Museum. 



442a. H. (? var.) albicoma Strk. — I have thirteen Alberta speci- 

 mens in my collection, from Red Deer River and head of Pine Creek, 

 collected by myself, and from High River, from Mr. Thomas Baird. 

 May 30th to July 7th. I have the same form from Wellington, 

 Vancouver Island, and it is that figured by Holland under this 

 name. It differs from what I hold as scolopendrina in the slightly 

 paler and less smoky ground, in the narrower median band, which is 

 often much constricted and sometim.es divided into two blotches;, in 

 the greater preponderance of fulvous scales, especially in the band, 

 and in having the discal spot on primaries m.ore usually punctiform 

 than linear. In my former notes, the words, "has no fulvous scales," 

 were a grave error, as were also "the two inner lines of the three 

 beyond the cell are obsolete" (Vol. XXXVIII., p. 52, Feb., 1906). 

 The form is hard to separate from what I hold as scolopendrina, and 

 may not improbably prove a variety of that. 



443. Gluphisia septentrionalis Walk. — High Ri\-er (Baird). 

 Two females, June 30th and July 7th. 



444. G. lintneri Grt. — A few more specimens have com.e to 

 hand, April 19th, 1906, May 26th, 1907, and one in 1911. The 

 first of these was taken Hying in sunshine.
