NO. 1376. LEPIDOPTERA OF THE KOOTENAI DISTRICT— DYAR. 889 



TALLEDEGA MONTANATA Packard, var. MAGNOLIATOIDATA, new 



variety. 



Nino specimens, Ma}^ 31, June 8 (Ainsworth), 10, Jul^^ 'II (I5car 

 Lake, Mr. Cockle), and one from Mr. Cockle's collection, Juno 9, 

 labeled Enchorm oncidata Hulst, but erroneously. It differs from the 

 eastern numUuiata in the much darker colors, the pale lines more con- 

 trasted, the pinkish tint of the hind wings and the evident submarginal 

 line. A specimen of this form is mentioned by Doctor Packard as from 

 Colorado'^' and said to differ from eastern specimens. It is, I think, 

 a good geographical race. 



Type.—C^t. No. 7103, U. S. National Museum. 



TEPHROCLYSTIS RAVOCOSTALIATA Packard.' 



Two specimens, June 1, and one in Mr. Cockle's collection, Ma}' 4, 

 1001. 



TEPHROCLYSTIS LAQUiEARIA Herrich-Schaeffer. 



No specimens; one in Mr. Cockle's collection, June 1, 1902, resem- 

 bles rather nearly the European laquxarla. The transverse-antcM'ior 

 shade is more blackish than brown and the costal shading just ))efore 

 the discal dot is blackish and pronounced, while the pale band beyond 

 the dotted-cuneiform transverse-posterior line forms a rather distinct 

 white blotch on the costa not noticeable in the European form. 



TEPHROCLYSTIS ABSINTHIATA Clerck. 



No specimens; one in Mr. Cockle's collection, May 27, 1902, resem- 

 bles the European ahsinthiata., but the basal two-thirds of the wing is 

 paler than the terminal portion, not unicolorously ])rownish as in the 

 European species. The costal black dashes are well inarked and one 

 of them is bent, joining the discal spot. The form stands midway 

 l^etween ahsinthiata Clerck and expallidata Guenee. The latter has 

 the ground color entirely pale. 



TEPHROCLYSTIS SATYRATA Hiibner. 



Sixteen specimens, May 30, 31, June 3, 7, 11, 13, 20, 22, 25, July 

 ■1, 27, June 25, 1901 (Golden, Colorado), and six from Mr. Cockle's 

 collection, May 13, 27, 1902, June 11 and July 7, 1901. The specimens

^The following determinations in Tcphrochjstia are made at a disadvantage. Tiie 

 National Museum collection is unequally poor in this genus, and there exist.s no 

 table for the determination of the species. Hulst's descriptions are made without 

 any conii)arisons or statement of salient characters and are nearly worthless in the 

 case of these closely allied and diflkult forms. Under these cin-uni stances it became 

 necessary to examine the Hulst collection, now in the charge of Dr. John B. Smith 

 at Xew Brunswick, New Jersey. I made repeated applications to him, but he failed 

 to make the collection accessible to me.
