32 ARKIV FÖR ZOOLOGI. BAND 11. NIO 26. 



sess two specimens of TrLLYARD's type-series in my collection. 

 I 'ha ve compared them with the specimens of Dr. Mjöberg, 

 and I am sure that the species name of Tillyard may be 

 put amongst those of the synonyms. One of the specimens 

 from Cedar creek has the apical part of the antennae påle 

 as mentioned by Banks; in the second specimen the anten- 

 nae were uniformly coloured; the third specimen has löst its 

 antennae. In the forewing of one specimen the oblong dark 

 streaks between the longitudinal nervures are easily observ- 

 able; in the forewing of the two other specimens those 

 streaks were hardly visible. The colour of pterostigma red- 

 dish brown.
