LEPISESIA ULALUME, STRECKER, IN BRmSH COLUMBIA. 



BY ARTHUR GIBSON, CENTRAL EXPERIMENTAL FARM, OTTAWA. 



In a box of Lepidoptera sent to the Division of Entomology, for 

 identification, by Mr. W. A. Dashwood-Jones, of New Westminster, B. C, 

 was a specimen of the above named sphingid. The specimen was kindly 

 named by Dr. J. B. Smith, who wrote of it, saying : " It is a genuine 

 rarity, and in 1888 there was not a specimen known save the type. If I 

 remember rightly, this is the first specimen other than the type that I 

 have ever seen." Mr. Dashwood-Jones states that this season he took 

 seven specimens oi tilaltime ; and, further, that he takes them every year 

 in his garden, on white , lilac blossoms. He mentions that he has never 

 seen this moth anywhere else, but that for a few days in spring they 

 appear to be fairly plentiful. Dr. Fletcher tells me that three years ago, 

 when examining some insects in the Department of Agriculture of British 

 Columbia, he saw two specimens, taken by Mr. W. A. Lawes at Enderby, 

 B. C, which he now thinks were ulahimc, but which at the time he 

 thought were large specimens oi flavofasciaia. Mr. Dashwood-Jones has 

 kindly presented to the Division a second specimen, which has a flush of 

 yellow on the disk of the secondaries,
