  I 
  obtained 
  four 
  species 
  of 
  this 
  genus 
  ; 
  three 
  from 
  Oregon, 
  and 
  one 
  from 
  Van-

  all 
  of 
  which 
  appear 
  to

  to 
  diSer 
  from 
  our 
  California 
  species. 
  

   A

  of 
  the

  is 
  much 
  needed.

  Apparently 
  not 
  rare 
  in 
  Vancouver 
  Island. 
  I 
  detected 
  some 
  seven 
  or 
  eight 
  

   specimens 
  in 
  the 
  small 
  collections 
  of 
  Messrs. 
  Cox 
  and 
  Harvey. 
  This 
  insect, 
  

   though 
  one 
  of 
  our 
  Pacific 
  Coast 
  varieties, 
  has 
  nevertheless 
  a 
  wide 
  range. 
  I 
  

   have 
  seen 
  specimens 
  from 
  Victoria, 
  northern 
  and 
  middle 
  California, 
  San

  Some 
  time 
  since, 
  Dr. 
  Behr 
  gave 
  me 
  a 
  specimen 
  of 
  this 
  insect 
  from 
  Alaska, 
  

   and 
  I 
  myself 
  took 
  a 
  solitary 
  example 
  in 
  the 
  streets 
  of 
  Victoria. 
  Our 
  specimens 
  

   are 
  rather 
  smaller 
  than 
  those 
  in 
  my 
  cabinet 
  from 
  Europe, 
  and 
  have 
  a 
  more 
  rosy 
  

   tint 
  on 
  the 
  upper 
  wings 
  ; 
  but 
  the 
  difference 
  is 
  not 
  sufficient 
  even 
  to 
  hint 
  at 
  the 
  

   existence 
  of 
  a 
  second 
  species.
