powdered with black and white atoms, basal smoky line straight, discal line large 

 and black, then an extra discal smoky line running from anal angle high up on outer 

 margin, more so than usual. Beneath more striking, white and black striations, legs 

 black, marbled with white, body also ; no ochreous markings as in subniarniorata and 

 most of the other synonyms. Basal and mesial bands very wide, merging near inner 

 margin, black discal dot, then, smoky marginal band containing black patch in 

 middle. Hind wings, basal line more sinuous than above, wide, smoky black ; very 

 prominent discal spot, a faint mesial line, then wide smoky black submarginal band, 

 beyond marbled with black and white. 



Grand Lake, Newfoundland, August. 



This variety may be distinguished from all others by prominent 

 black spots on fore wings with wide smoky black bands (not ochreous 

 lines or bands as in most others) black and white body and legs. 

 Described from 3 cfc?, one in my own collection, one in the National 

 Museum, Type No. 10275, the third in O. Bryant's collection. 

 Besides this interesting variety Mr. Bryant turned up the following 

 species : 



1. Lobophora nivigerata Walk. 



2. Vcnusia cambrica Curt. 



3. Eiistroma destinata var. higiibrata Mosch. 



4. Rheinnaptera hastata var. vicistata Nolck. 



5. Rlieiiviapiera sociata Bork. 



6. Rheumaptera luctiiata D. & S. 



7. Rheumaptera In etna fa var. concordata Walk. 



8. Mesoleuca silaceata Hiib, 



9. Hydriotiiena magnoliata On. 



10. Hydriomena magnoliata var. at mat His G. & R. 



11. Xanthorhoe a bras aria H.-S. 



12. Xanthorhoe convallaria Gn. 



13. Leptomeris frigidaria M5sch. 



14. Sciagraphia granitata Gn. 



• 15. Sciagraphia granitata \dL.r. 02ue>ii '^vf&it. 



16. Sciagraphia neptaria Gn. 



17. Cymatopliora incept aria Walk. ? 



This is not intended to be a complete list but just to show what 

 species would be commonly met with. The other Newfoundland 

 specimens of .S". granitata correspond to Packard's variety sexmaculata, 

 being stunted and olive gray ; but it would be useless to attempt to 

 separate these synonyms without comparison with Walker's types as 

 well as the others. I wish to thank Dr. Dyar for specimens and 

 advice ; also Mr. Grossbeck for comparisons.
