314 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Caradrina punctivena, Smith. Common at light from middle to end of 



July. 

 Pyrophila tragopoginus, Linn. One in 1895, "ot seen since. 

 Pyrophila pyramidoides, Gn. Common at sugar in Elm Park in 1896, 



from August i8th to middle of September. 

 Orthodes cynica, Gn. Rare here at light. 



" crenulata, Smith. Occasional at light during June. 

 T?eniocampa thecata, Morr. (No. 2335.) Cartwright. 



" oviduca, Grt, One or two at light, May 22nd, etc. 



Tfeniocampa pacifica, Harv. Plentiful with Mr. Heath. I got one or two 



at light early in May. 

 Tfeniocampa alia, Gn. Cartwright. 

 Tseniocampa subterminata, Smith. Brandon. Mr. Bogerhasa specimen 



of this rather handsome species. 

 Calymnia orina, Gn. Brandon. Three specimens at sugar on August 



2rst (1897). One here at light August 6th, also from Cartwright. 



Prof. Smith says this is quite a variable species. 

 Cosmia infumata, Grt. Another very variable species. Comes freely to 



sugar and light, middle of August to end of September. 

 Parastichtis discivaria. Walk. This variable species is not uncommon at 



light, middle of July to middle of August, and I have often met 



with it during the day at rest on golden-rod. 

 Ipimorpha pleonectusa, Grt. Both seasons at light from middle to end 



of July, but not common. 

 Pyrrhia exprimens, Walk. Not uncommon at light in 1897, rather rare 



last season. End of June until middle of July. This species, too, 



has quite a range of variation. 

 Orthosia ferruginoides, Gn. Taken both at light and at sugar, out during 



part of August and September. A fresh specimen that I took 



at sugar on September 15th (1S96) was so pale that I was sure I had 



taken a new species until I referred it to Prof. Smith.* 

 Orthosia euroa, G. & R. Occasional at light and at sugar during August, 



into September. On August loth (1896), by sweeping Canada 



thistle heads after dark I could have taken hundreds of this species. 



The thistles were in a clearing among bush at River Park, near the 



city. 



*This specimen was probably decipiens, Grt., which I had not recognized as 

 distinct until the recent receipt of good material. (J. B. S.)
