In conclusion we offer the following synonymy to replace that 

 of our List: 



955 vagans Bdv. 



9 rufiila Bdv. 



S punctata Pack. 



S bicolor Walk. 

 a proba Hy. Edzv. 



$ walsingbami Butl. 

 b kasloa Dyar. 



956 pteridis Hy. Edw. 



danbyi Neum. 

 a rubra Neum. 



Apantesis ornata hewletti var. nov. (PI. XIII, Figs. 3, 4). 



We have received from Miss Esther Hewlett of Nellie, San 

 Diego Co., Calif., specimens of an apparent race of ornata which on ac- 

 count of the fact that it is very liable to be confused with gencura Stkr. 

 {incorrupta Hy. Edw.) and its forms seems worthy of being named. 

 It differs from typical ornata in having the subbasal half-band always 

 well developed ; as in ornata the veins are only marked in white along 

 the outer margin, vein 1 being also slightly marked at base of wing. 



The subbasal line is very occasionally met with in ornata but 

 generally speaking it is entirely absent or confined to a slight creamy 

 mark on costa ; French's figure of his 9 sliastacnsis (Can. Ent., XXI, 

 162) is one of these instances ; the specimen, however, is in other 

 respects distinctly aberrant and our own collecting experiences in the 

 type locality show that the normal form is without this band ; the 3 's 

 of sliastacnsis from the same locality French considered to belong to 

 geneura Stkr. (1. c. p. 162) although we are convinced that the two 

 were merely sexes of one species ; these S 's were, according to 

 description, perfectly normal ornata. We therefore do not believe 

 that the name sliastacnsis, based on an aberrant 9 from a totally 

 different locality, can be applied to the present form. 



We have also received larvae from Miss Hewlett and these, al- 

 though not yet full grown, correspond well with Gibson's description 

 of Stage VI of ornata larvae (Can. Ent., XXV, 122). Miss Hewlett 

 tells us that captured specimens are generally of the form with scarlet 

 secondaries whilst her bred specimens have almost invariably shown 

 yellow secondaries, due probably to change in the amount of moisture
