A LIST OF MANITOBA MOTHS.— Part III. 



BY A. W. HANHAM, WINNIPEG, MAN. 



The NoctLiids of this Province, as already known, make a very fair 

 list, and include a number of rare moths, as well as a good percentage of 

 new species. I have seen all Mr. E. F. Heath's things, and his additions 

 to my list are quite numerous ; these appear as taken at Cartwright. The 

 Rounthwaite records are Mr. L. E. Marmont's (I have seen his collection), 

 and he has added some rare species. The Brandon records are in some 

 cases my own, as I have visited there the last three summers ; others are 

 Mr. H. W. O. Soger's, of that place. I have seen paintings of a number 

 of moths collected at the Douglas swamp by Mr. Griddle, of St. Alban's, 

 Aweme, and these have given me a few extra names. 



My best collecting here has been done at light, at Brandon off bloom 

 on the prairies, and I have also had very fair success, both here and at 

 Brandon, from sugaring late in the season (from the middle of x\ugust 

 until early in October). 



A very large proportion of the species listed have been referred to 

 Prof. John B. Smith, who has been untiring in his efforts to help me, 

 and without whose kind assistance this list would have been impossible, 

 or very incomplete. A few things, still doubtful, remain in his hands for 

 future determination. Others, that would have increased my list, came 

 to grief in the mails. These species, it is hoped, will be taken again during 

 the coming season. 

 Thyatira scripta, Gosse. Cartwright. 

 Euthyatira pudens, Gn. Rounthwaite ; one at black currant bloom early 



in May. 

 Pseudothyatira cymatophoroides, Gn. Common at light, end of June and 



early in July (1897); also netted at dusk flying along the edge of the 



woods close to my house. 

 Pseudothyatira expultrix, Grt. One only, at light, beginning of July. 

 Leptina latebricola, Grt. Cartwright. 

 Panthea acronyctoides. Walk. July i2thj one at light.
