box of Peabody Academy material, that it is a $ markeil 'Behrens, 13' 

 and that it does not aher our conception of the species. 



We might note that Packard in his Monograph (where he hope- 

 lessly confused several species under the name californxata) states that 

 the specimen figured on PI. \'III, Fig. 30 is the normal form, another 

 specimen being figured as calif orniata on PI. VIII, Fig. 33; these two 

 specimens differ considerably in the shape of the subbasal line which in 

 Fig. 30 shows a rather strong bend, in Fig. 33 on the contrary being rig- 

 idly oblique ; the original description is rather ambiguous on this point, 

 Packard merely stating 'an oblique black line finely and acutely pointed 

 on the median vein goes obliquely outwards.' Our conception of the 

 species is rather that of the latter figure, which was evidently a small 

 S , Fig. 30 to our mind being closer to irata Swett in some ways than 

 to our notion of californiata. 



Apart from this one point, which in our series seems in any case 

 somewhat variable, we find nothing in either of the figures that would 

 cause us to alter our previous determination of the species. 



We have a long series from various localities on Vancouver Is. 

 B. C. where it appears to be common but have seen no Californian 

 material ; some of the 9 's are rather difificult to separate from those of 

 coliimbiata Tayl. but usually in the former species band 2 is less elbowed 

 outwardly below the costa and line 4 (postmedian) more deeply exca- 

 vated opposite the cell ; generally the characteristic ruddy tinge of the 

 antemedian and subterminal areas is sufficient to identify the species. 

 The palpi are quite long in the 2 sex, in some specimens being only 

 very slightly shorter than in rubcrala which falls into the following 

 section. 



The Uncus is very characteristic, the forks being deep, very stout 

 and more bent inward apically than in the preceding species. 



The species occurs on Vancouver Is. in June in contradistinction to 

 irata which is an early spring species (April) ; our earliest date for 

 caUformata is May 23d, our latest July 20th ; colmnbiata appears to be 

 intermediate in time of emergence between the two, our few speci- 

 mens from Vancouver Island having been taken in May. 



With the preceding species we end the second main group; the 

 following section, consisting of the long palpi species, may be sub- 

 divided, according to the shape of the Uncus, into several secondary
