1909] SWETT— NEW VARIETY OF THERINA FISCELLARIA GN. 97 
Beneath ochre, lines on fore wings (but not the smoky bands) faintly showing 
through, a lighter ochre color than above. On the hind wings the median line alone 
shows. ‘The specimens vary somewhat in the sharpness of the angle of the extra- 
discal line of the fore wings, but are very distinct from all other species. Packard 
evidently recognized this, as he refers in his Monograph, page 494, to examples 
from Salem, Mass. ‘The Vancouver Island specimens are not this, but somniaria 
Hulst. ; 
This variety was found by my friend Mr. Reiff at rest on trees at Forest Hills, 
Boston, Mass., late in the fall. I am rather inclined to believe that fervidaria and 
fiscellaria are one variable species. Peccataria seems to be between these and 
athasaria Walk., and may be a form produced by climatic changes.
