L. halterata, to which this species seems nearest alhed, occurs in Cen- 

 tral and South Europe and Middle Lapland, while L. carpinata is found in 

 Central and Southern Europe, and also Eastern Siberia, the Ural Mountains, 

 and Amur. 



The specimens from Quebec and Amherst, Mas.s., difler from the Colo- 

 radian example in being whiter, with less of a flesh-colored tint, and with the 

 lines less distinct on the hind wings; Init there is no essential difference in 

 the markings.
