The specimens that I have from the mountains (Banff) are duller in colour than those taken nearer Calgary, with less green. Mr. Taylor says : " It is best for the present to use the name quinque/ascUita, Pack., for the moth we have been calling sordidata. It is probably the same as the sordidaia, Fabr., of Europe (but a good variety), but it is not the sordidata of Packard's Monograph, which I think must bear Packard^s name, imbilifasciata.^^ 489. H. ruherata^ Freyer.—Mr. Taylor says : '• This species, which stands in most of the collections as iri/asciata, is, I think, rediWy ruber at a, Freyer, of which I have English specimens. The tri/asciata of Packard was not the tri/asciata of Borkhausen, which = aiitumnalis, ; My records up till 1905 were June and early July, and I never saw it at all common. But during the present season (1906) the males have come rather freely to outdoor light between May loth and 14th. 489a. [H. autumnalis, Strom.—Of a specimen taken by Mr. Hudson at Springbank, near here, on May 30th, 1905, Mr. Taylor said : " More like European aiitunuialis than most others I have ; The specimen was much more strigate and less obviously banded than any ruberata I had previously seen, and certainly suggested another species. But after com- paring it with some of the more recent captures of ruberata above mentioned, I am doubtful of its distinctness therefrom. I have compared this specimen with the species in Mr. Cockle's collection at Kaslo, recorded as atctwnnalis in the Kootenai list, and believe it to be entirely distinct.] 490. H. uiultiferata.
