spec. div. ?” Barrett (Lep. lirit., viii., p. 275) gives, besides European 
localities, “ China and Japan, with Yesso; and in North America, in 
New England, New York State, Wisconsin, Canada, and Vancouver.” 
Leech, from whom Barrett’s Asiatic localities are derived, captured 
examples at Nemoro (in the east of Yesso) at the beginning of August, 
and received specimens taken in June and July from Chang-Yang, Pu- 
tsu-fong, Che-tou, and the province of How-Kow. I may add that 
specimens which I regard as evidently true citrata, and ab. immanata, 
are in the British Museum collection from Sultanpur (Bengal ; see 
also var. latefasciata below. Staudinger indicates no local races, but I 
would quote the following : 
Var. pytlionissata, Mill. Using this name comprehensively for the 
Orkney and Shetland races, it is difficult to define it in few words, 
easy though it is to recognise. The sharp definition of the pure white 
lines bounding basal and median areas, the general tawny tint even in 
the dark parts, the well-marked hindwings and underside, with a 
tendency to darkening, and the very general breaking up of the central 
area with pale spots, are all characteristic. 
Var. latefasciata, Stgr.* This form, originally described from the 
Kentai Mountains, is characterised thus : “ The median area of the 
forewing is very broadly light, whitish-grey (sometimes tinged with light 
yellow-brown), and without lines traversing it.” From what Staudinger 
says of the rest of the Kentai specimens (which he calls ab. perfuscata, 
Haw., and suggests might be transferred to immanata), and from what 
I know of the geographical range, I have little hesitation in referring 
this var. to citrata, though Staudinger mixes with it chance aberra¬ 
tions of truncata from England and Denmark, etc., such as Milliere’s 
broad-banded figure of ab. rufescens (iii., pi. iii., fig. 8), mentioned 
earlier. In the British Museum, a fine specimen of what I call un¬ 
doubted citrata, from Ivoksar, will meet the requirements of var. late¬ 
fasciata, having a clean yellowish-tinged central area, and probably 
Staudinger would also have included Fuchs’ krassnojarscensis under 
this var. 
Var. brunneata, Pack. This small form, from Caribou Island, 
mouth of Esquimaux River, Labrador, August 3rd, is unknown to 
me personally, but Packard’s figure (pi. viii., fig. 39), and his com¬ 
parison with Iceland specimens, point to a probable form of citrata. 
Its main distinction, as brought out by Staudinger (who prefers 
Moschler’s younger name of suspectata), is “ al ant. fascia med. fusca 
infra angustiore.” I see no reason for keeping var. brunneata and var. 
suspectata separate, as is done in Dyar’s and J. B. Smith’s recent lists. 
Haverkampf (Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg., 1., p. 158) believes he has matched 
this var. with a $ taken at Bodeghem, July 3rd. 
I have touched on the Iceland form earlier in this paper, and would 
refer those who desire fuller information to Staudinger’s article (Stett. 
Ent. Zeit., xviii., pp. 252-5) and Walker’s (Ent., xxiii., p. 66). It may 
not be out of place to quote the rest of Staudinger’s actual diagnoses, 
as I have already given five out of the eleven. The rest are : Var. b.
