A New Form of Cataloca blandula Hulst 



By Samuel E. Cassino 



CaTOCALA BLANOULA VAK. MAXITOBENSIS. VAR. NOV. 



This form is very easily distinguished from blan- 

 dula. In blandula the t. a. line is a rich seal brown 

 which shades lightly towards the base. In manito- 

 bensis, the t. a, hne has the appearance of being dark- 

 er and more distinct, and the shade is not as heavy. 

 The brown scales forming a shade outside of the t. a. 

 line are much lighter and in some specimens almost 

 ol)Solete in manitobensis. 



The space between the t. a. line and the reniform 

 is lighter in manitobensis. The median siiade has a 

 bluish tint. The whole effect of the superiors is a 

 bluish tint quite unHke that of blandula, the scales of 

 which are more brownish. 



Secondaries do not differ materially except that the 

 break in the marginal band near the anal angle is more 

 marked in manitobensis, the yellow extending through 

 to the fringe. The break in the marginal band is 

 found on the under side of the wings, but is not quite 

 as apparent.
