 figure (337) under the latter name will answer for both forms.

Kearfott's name probably should be referred as a mere synonym. 

 I am keeping it as a varietal designation on the suspicion that his 

 form may be a true local race. It has the under side of the hind 

 wings somewhat dusted with whitish and considerably paler than 

 the underside of the fore wings, a character I do not find in any 

 of our typical American or European specimens of cruciana. The 

 latter have the under sides of both fore and hind wings concolorous 

 and dark shining fuscous.

67. EPINOTIA CRUCIANA ALASKAE, new variety. 



(Fig. 336.) 



Differs from typical cruciana in having the head, thorax and basal 

 third of wing dark red-brown, the same shade as the outer dark 

 markings on fore wing and not a clay or putty color. 



I may not be justified in giving this form a name. I do so, how- 

 ever, for the same reason that I keep Kearfott's plumbolineaTia., 

 namely, that it presumably designates a local race and not a mere 

 color variety.
