We can see no reason why this should be regarded as distinct from 
suffusca Morr.; we have all manner of intergrades between contrasting speci- 
mens and unicolorous ones and present a few of these on this same plate. 
8. ParasticHtis vutcaris G. & R. Decatur, Ill. ¢. 
We are not certain about the determinations in this group as we have 
not had specimens compared with the types, most of which are in the Brit. 
Museum. The name vulgaris G. & R. is, however, usually applied to this species. 
9. PaRAsTICHTIS cARIOSA Gn. Decatur, Ill. 9. 
10. Parasticutis vuLGARIS G. & R. Elizabeth, N. J. Q. 
II. PARASTICHTIS CARIOSA Gn. Mo. Q. 
This agrees with a specimen we have in the collection marked cluna 
13. | PARASTICHTIS ALIA Gn. Calgary, Alta. ¢’s & @. 
14. 
This species has gone for years under the name suffusca Morr. until 
Mr. Dod has recently shown (C. Ent. XLII, 192) that alia is really the species 
here figured. Guenee’s original description also suits this species better than 
the one to which the name alia has been heretofore applied. Fig. 14 would be 
according to Smith a typical suffusca and 13 might be called rorulenta, but as 
stated above we consider both one species.
