THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 385 



Hind wings dark gray ; the lines indistinct, but apparently- all the 

 lines of the fore wings are continuous, the most evident being the extra- 

 discal and the submarginal ; the first-named consists of black dashes on 

 the veins (as on the fore wing), and so appears broader than the other 

 lines. 



Discal dot black, distinct. Fringe as on the fore wings. Beneath, 

 fore wings bright gray. Costa with black marks showing the commence- 

 ments of basal, median and extra-discal lines, and with another dark blotch 

 in advance of the faint white submarginal line. 



The extra-discal line and a dark gray shade beyond it are traceable 

 across the wing to the inner margin, but the other lines can only be 

 followed for a very short distance from the costa. 



Marginal line distinct ; base of fringe pale, otherwise as above. 



Hind wings pale, with three intra-discal lines marked on the costa 

 and again on the inner margin. 



There are also two extra-discal lines composed of distinct dots on the 

 veins. 



The outermost of these is parallel to the outer margin; the other runs 

 in a straight line from the inner margin, in the direction of the discal dot, 

 to vein 3, then in a regular curve to the costa. These two lines are, 

 therefore, not parallel, being rather close together on the costa and 

 farthest apart on vein 3. This is a peculiarity that I have not noticed in 

 any other eastern Eupithecia. Three or four dots on the veins indicate 

 another line between the two just mentioned. 



Discal dots distinct on all wings. 



Described from two specimens collected by Mr. C. H. Young, and 

 labelled respectively Ottawa, 3, viii, '06, and 10, ix, '06, and named in 

 honour of Dr. James Fletcher, of Ottawa. 



One of these specimens is in my cabinet, thanks to the generosity of 

 Mr. Young ; the other is retained in his own collection.

Sugaring for Moths in the Autumn. 



by john a. mordex, hyde park corners, ont. 



It may be interesting to Lepidopterists to know what success I had 

 during the late autumn of last year in sugaring for moths, especially those 

 of the genus Scopelosoma. 



Having read the highly-interesting article by Mr. Henry Engel, of 

 Pittsburg, Pa., on collecting moths in autumn and winter (Can. Ent.,
