PARAGROTIS TERRENUS Smith. 



Six specimens, August 5, 6, IS, separated from the fulda. series, 

 agree with the t3'pe of terre^vus. The liind wings are dark, and the dif- 

 ferences between this and rnessoria are not clear to me. A specimen 

 in Mr. Cockle's collection has been named neotelis Smith, l)ut lacks the 

 purplish tint of that form and is obviously Avrongly identified. 



PARAGROTIS FULDA Smith. 



Thirtj^-five specimens, August 6, l!2, 13 (Sandon, Mr. Currie), 16,' 

 17, 21 (Revelstoke). Those with the markings most obsolete agree 

 with the type of fulda Smith; the majority are marked distinctly like 

 rnessoria {^^ter7'itorlaI!s Smith). I should refer this series to rnessoria, 

 except that the hind wings are generally whitish where in messoria 

 they are overspread with brown. A specimen in Mr. Cockle's collec- 

 tion is identified as tessellata Harris and another as halin!f!s Grote, but 

 neither identification is correct when compared with the specimens in 

 the U. S. National Museum. 



PARAGROTIS RUBEFACTALIS Grote. 



Three specimens, July 14, 27, August- 17, and one from Mr. Cockle's 

 collection. They are not very much alike, and the females are dou])t- 

 fully referred here. The male agrees with specimens that I have from 

 Pullman, Washington, under this name. 



PARAGROTIS INCALLIDA Smith. 



Twent^'-seven specimens, Jul}- 2, 29 (Bear Lake Mountain), 30, 

 August 3, 4, 6, 7, 11, 12, 13 (Sandon, Mr. Currie), 15, 10, 17. Dis- 

 tinctly varia))le, running to a smooth, oliscure form, wnth the macula- 

 tion nearly lost. Before I was acquainted with the character of the 

 Kootenai fauna I had named such an obscure specimen, which Mr. 

 Cockle sent me, as vuljjlna Smith, thinking it proba})ly conspecific with 

 this apparently neighboring species {indjmia was described from Cal- 

 gary, Alberta). However, it really belongs with incaUlda, described 

 from the mountains of California. I do not see tliat Jutidenta Smith 

 or (pdn<iuelinea Smith are more than varieties of incaUlda. If this is 

 correct, the species must be known as quiiiqiielinea, as that name has 

 priority by a page. 



PARAGROTIS ALTICOLA Smith. 



One specimen, August 18. It is darkl}^ colored, the fore wings 

 blackish brown, somewhat bronzy. The characteristic appearance of 

 alticola is not shown, but I nevertheless refer the specimen here as a 

 varietal form. It is not in perfect condition.
