This moth, which is usually regarded as a variety of the preceding 
species, has been described separately under Boisduval’s name “ Le- 
contei”’ for the following reason: That while this so-called variety 
igs common in many localities throughout the Province, I have never 
yet met with a single specimen at all approaching the deseription 
and figure given of ‘‘ militaris”’ in “ Harris’ Insects ;” a fact exceed- 
ingly remarkable if the former is merely a variety of the latter.
