AMMALO TENERA Hiibner. 



Thi'ee specimens, June 5, 6, 23. They agree with Atlantic coast 

 specimens rather than with the Californian form sciurus, though there 

 is very little difference between these forms at best. Eggs were 

 obtained, but proved infertile. 



HALISIDOTA MACULATA Harris, var. ALNI Hy. Edwards. 



Thirteen specimens, May 30, 31, June (5, 10, 16, 25. The moths are 

 like typical niacnlata of the Atlantic coast region, and also like the 

 variety alnl, these forms not differing in the adult. The larva^. are 

 alni., like those of the mountains of California and Colorado, red dorsal 

 tufts when young, no dorsal tufts in the last stage. Some of the larvas, 

 however, had black dorsal tufts in the last stage, thus reseml)ling 

 the form angullfera Walker of the Pacific coast, but none had black 

 tufts in the earl}' stages as that form has. There was much variation 

 in color, some of the young larvas being highly variegated with red 

 and yellow.
