PARAGROTIS DIVERGENS Walker. 



One hundred and twenty-nine .specimen.s, July 21, 27, 31, August 

 5, 7, IB, 17. Two eggs were obtained from a captive female, but were 

 lost on hatching. I have described the mature larva elsewhere." 



JE<j<j. — Nearly spherical, base scarcely flattened. Ribs about 44 

 around the margin, diminishing angularly by confluence, narrow, 

 almost linear, low, the surface flat between them, joined by weak, 

 narrow cross striae forming square cells. Vertex obsoletely quad- 

 rangularly reticulate, smaller at the micropylar rosette, which is not 

 raised. Waxy white; diameter, 0.7 mm. 



PARAGROTIS PINDAR Smith. 



Five specimens, August 11, 13, 21 (Revelstoke), and one from Mr. 

 Cockle's collection September 6, 1902. The tone is a little grayer 

 than in Smith's type from Utah, making the costal edging less con- 

 trasted. The markings, however, are the same. 



PARAGROTIS PLAGIGERA Morrison. 



No specimens. One in Mr. Cockle's collection is so named, and 1 

 leave it here with some hesitation. It is brightly marked w^ith ashen 

 whitish; the orbicular is large and \qy\ oblique, and altogether it is 

 rather unlike what I have as j^higlgera. Without a series, however, 

 no certain conclusion can be arrived at. 



ANYTUS EVELINA French. 



No specimens. A female in Mr. Cockle's collection was taken Sep- 

 tember 18, 1901, This species has stood hitherto in our lists as an 

 Iladena. I transfer it to Anytus, following Sir G. F. Hampson. 



ANYTUS SCULPTUS Grote, var. PROFUNDUS Smith. 



Two specimens, September 7 (Revelstoke), Sandon (G. C. Robbins), 

 and one from Mr. Cockle's collection September 19. The specimen 

 agrees with Smith's type oi profundus^ from Brandon, Manitoba. The 

 form is a dark W^estern variation of sculptvs, which is usually light, 

 though I have one from Holderness, New Hampshire, nearly as dark 

 as the Western ones. The name obscurus Smith does not deserve even 

 a varietal rank, the male type before me being only a slighth" rubbed 

 and indistinctly jnarked specimen of the variet}" pn^finidu.s. The 

 specimens which I associate as female profundus are grayer than the 

 males, with the hind wings darkly shaded.
