27.8. Ufeus plicaius Grt. — I have not seen the type of this species, 

 but what I have as such is the plicatus of the British Museum and most 

 other collections that I have seen. It differs principally from what I hold 

 as satyricus, probably also correctly, in being redder, having larger wings, 

 with more acute apices, the transverse lines narrower and less diffuse, the 

 t. a. deeply dentate rather than curved. There are other distinctive charac- 

 ters, but these seem the most reliable and most obvious. Oi barometricus 

 Goosens, I know nothing beyond the mere reference given in Dyar's 

 Catalogue. Hulsiii Smith was described in Ann. N. Y. Acad. Soi., 

 XVin, p. 99, Jan., 1908, from two males from Stockton, Utah, and Black 

 Hills, Wyoming. The type is the Stockton specimen, whence I have a 

 pair, the female of which I have compared with it. The description states 

 that it is '* perhaps nearest to satyriacs in type of maculation, but differs 

 obviously in colour, in the absence of all trace of ordinary spots, and in 

 the immaculate under side." In my Stockton male the discoidal spots are 

 practically obsolete, in the female they are very distinctly marked. The 

 under sides are very pale, but not quite immaculate. These obviously 

 merge into my series of Calgary plicatus^ and if mixed they would be 

 inseparable without the labels. I would suggest that Prof. Smith's com- 

 paring hulstii to satyricus was a slip. The species is a decided rarity 

 here, 



279. U. satyricus Grt. — I have never found this in any numbers, 

 though it is much less rare than the.preceding. It is extremely variable 

 in the quantity and distribution of black and dark brown scales. 



280. Agrotiphila incognita Smith. — This species is not in my 

 collection, but 1 have seen the two male types from Laggan, though one 

 of them, is only labelled " B. C." in error. A male is in the British 

 Museum, taken by Mrs. Nicholl in 1907, on Brobokton Creek, in the 

 mountains far north of Laggan.
