Extract

This interesting species has at last been added to the collection of the Entomological Society of Ontario, by the industrious collecting of Mr. J. W. Bice, who took it at electric light in the season of 1898, and was recently identified for me by Dr. J. B. Smith. Taeniocampa alia, Guen.—incerta, Hubn.—was in remarkable profusion during the early part of that season; and ranging through an extent of variation that was quite confusing. Three good specimens of rubrescens were taken at the same time, each differing from the other in colour, and were picked out as possibly another variety of alia, but when seen by Dr. Smith, he pronounced my Nos. 3, 4, 5 to be T. rubrescens, and his remark on them was, “A very pretty series, No. 4 being a new form to me.”
