but subsequent investigation showed that I was wrong. I have 

 not, so far, seen betula from western Canada. 



Acronycta interrtipta Gn. A single worn female. 



Acronycta marula G. & R. 



Acronycta lohelice Gn. Two specimens. 



Acronycta manitobaSm. A series stood correctly named Others 

 stood under hasta Gn , whilst three rather large, but otherwise 

 similar, specimens were separated as ielum Gn. I attached the label 

 to one of these specimens as evidence of what Smith claimed to 

 have at last identified from Manitoba is "the true telum of Guenee." 



Acronycta radcliffei Harv. Two specimens correctly, and a 

 third rather small one, as " ? tarlarea Sm." 



Acronycta •juadrata Grt. 



Acronycta spinigera Gn. A single female, dated June 23rd, 

 1910. 



Acronycta snperans Gn. 



Acronycta funeralis Grt. A female, June 27th, 1912. 



Acronycta fragilis Gn. 



Acronycta grisea Walk. . 



Acronycta falcula Grt. 



Acronycta alharnfa Grt. 



Acronycta hesitata Grt. One specimen. 



Acronycta inclara Sm. Smith admitted that the aggregate of 

 specimens to which he first gave the name inclara (viz., the hama- 

 melis of the Monograph) contained a mixture of species. He had 

 made no type, but ultimately fixed Hampson's figure under inclara 

 as representing the type of the species.* Unfortunately the figure 

 is a poor one. but I have caretully compared it with specimens in 

 the British Museum, and have not the least doubt as to the species 

 represented. It appears to be fa,irly common in Manitoba. The 

 Heath collection contained a long and variable series, of which 

 some stood as inclara; others as hamameiis, and a few small speci- 

 mens as modica Walk. 



Acronycta impleta Walk. var. illita Smith. 



Acronycta sperata Grt. I could see no justification whatever 

 for the attempted separation of the "supposed new species very
