THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 167 



ADDITIONS TO THE CANADIAN LIST OF MICRO- 



LEPIDOPTERA. 



BY J. ALSTON MOFFAT, LONDON, ONT. 



As I was in the habit of sending to the authorities, for determination, 

 only such as I had in duphcate, thereby avoiding the inconvenience of 

 returning them, and retaining single specimens of a kind as a reminder 

 of what to look for, and in most cases where to look for them, I found 

 that in Micros single specimens accumulated rapidly. Having changed 

 my location, I wished to finish up with the old material and begin anew. 

 So as a means toward that end, I sent to Prof. C. H. Fernald 80 speci- 

 mens that I had been unable to identify, with the understanding that he 

 was to retain such of them as he desired. I regret that there seems to 

 have been so little of value to him amongst them, as evidenced by the 

 few that he did retain, to reward him for the time, trouble and thought 

 that he must have expended on theiji, which is mildly disclosed in the 

 remark appended to the list of names that he sent to me, " They are an 

 interesting but difficult lot." 



As was to be expected in such an accumulation, some turned out to 

 be variations of old forms, others merely better specimens of some already 

 known by name, whilst others were so poor as to render them unfit for 

 determination ; and some proved to be partially or wholly unknown to 

 him. After discarding all pronounced too poor to determine, and placing 

 in position those already known, we have the following 30 names added 

 to our list, and their representatives to the Society's collection (excepting 

 one) : — 



Botis oscitalis, Grote. 



" mancalis, Led. 

 Hydrocampa proprialis. Fern. 

 Lipocosma fulginosalis. Fern. 

 Hotfiophysa glaphyralis, Guen. 

 Toripalpus lunulalis, Hulst. 

 Acrobasis palliolella, Ragonot. 

 Ambesa wa/shighami, Rag. 

 Euzop/iera seinifioieraiis, Walk. 

 Canarsia hammondi, Riley. 

 Peoria hcematica, Zell.
