488. Hydriomena quinquefasciata, Pack.— Veru common. Middle July to middle Aug. Exceedingly variable. The specimens that I have from the mountains (Banff) are duller in colour than those taken nearer Calagary, with less green. Mr. Taylor says: “It is best for the present to use the name quinquefasciata, Pack., for the moth we have been calling sordidata. It is probabaly the same as the sordidata, 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, nubilifasciata”.
* “This is a form of the European turbata, Hbn.” (L. B. Prout, in litt.)
