Hadena flava Grote. Aug. 24. This species has been recorded 

 from British Columbia and Colorado. Its specific characters are very- 

 strong, but the specimen obtained from Belfrage, although agreeing 

 in most of them with the type, differs in the obsolescence of the ab- 

 dominal tufts, and in several details of coloration. The fact that the 

 species has occurred in a locality between Columbia and Texas, leads 

 us to believe that this form is simply a variety of it. 



Hadena relicina Morr. (6) Oct. 13. 



Hadena rasilis Morr. Two specimens, Aug. 24 and Oct. 5. 



Prodenia commelinse Sm. Abb. Four specimens, Aug. 25 

 and Sept. 20. 



Laphygma frugiperda Sm. Abb. 



Y&r.fulvosa Riley. Aug. 25. 



Var. obscura Riley. Five specimens, June 15 and 17, and Aug. 25, 

 This variety differs extremely from the typical form, and would be 

 taken to be distinct had not Prof. Riley succeeded in breeding it 

 from the same larvse. 



Segetia xanthoides Guen. Six specimens, May 3 to 24. 



Segetia orbica Morr. (7) Two specimens, July 28 and 

 Sept. 24. 



Heliophila unipuncta Haw. Sept. 20. 



Heliophila phragmitidicola Guen. Six specimens, March 

 21, April 26 and 27, July 17, and Sept. 20. In addition to these 

 specimens there occurred four others, which we refer to this species 

 with hesitation. They expand only 29 mm.; the collar lacks the black 

 transverse line of the typical form ; the ground color is clear and Avhit- 

 ish, not becoming suffused with reddish or dark ochreous before the 

 terminal space. We propose the name iexana for this variety. It 

 was taken Sept. 20 and Oct. 13. 



Heliophila rubripennis Grote. Three specimens, Aug. 24 

 and Sept. 2. 



Heliophila Harveyi Grote. Three specimens, April 20 and 

 May 1. 



Platysenta atrieiliata Grote. Four specimens, Aug. 26 and 

 Sept. 20. 



Caradrina disticha Morr. (8) Sept. 25. 



Cucullia asteroides Guen. April 12.
