Still another unexpected outcome of my investigation proves that our Ameri- can species is not the designata of Hufnagel. Again through the helpfulness of Mr. Prout I was supplied with the typical males of the forms of this European species, for it seems that, beside the pink-banded form first described, their other and more common form resembles in coloration our inter- mediata Guen. I quote Mr. Prout in a recent letter: " The clear, cherry red form with little black markings in the outer half of the band, such as I found common at Toronto, and have received from Maine is quite rare with us. Indeed, I have only one from near London, which really matches them. I send you one fairly bright and clear, taken at Epping Eorest, near London, and two of the common forms (Essex and Germany)." The genitalic differences between these European forms do not seem great, but as compared with our own, of which I have made many mounts, there is a decided and constant difiference in the shape of the chief determining parts, so much as to force me to the conclusion that, called originally designata because of its resemblance thereto, we have in reality another species in our fauna, very constant in its coloring of gray, with central band of bright Dutch pink, while the European pink form clings to the brownish hue of its Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Brooklyn Entomological Society.
