Anomogyna sincera H. S. 



A single specimen without date of capture. The species has been re- 

 corded from Labrador on the authority of Moeschler, but this is the first 

 authentic specimen which has passed through my hands. It agrees well with 

 the figure in Spuler, Schmett. Europas. PI. XXXIII, fig. 1. 



Auarta richardsoni Curt. 



One 9, captured July 18th, Hopedale; several specimens from Nain. 



Polia pulverulenta Sm. 



One 2 , captured August 6th. The record is a new one although not 

 surprising as the type specimens were taken at Orono, Me., where so many 

 northern forms have been located. Figures of the species will be found in 

 the Barnes & McDunnough Contributions. Vol. IV, PI. XVI, figs. 2. 3. 

 Sympistis mclaleiica Thun. 



A good series was present : there is considerable variation in the amount 

 of black sufifusion on the primaries. 

 Trichoplcxia cxornnta Moesch. 



One $ , captured August 5th. 

 Ercmohia maillardi exulis Lef. 



Two $ 's and one 9 of this variable species were included in the Hope- 

 dale lot ; they all belong to the form without white streaks on the veins. One 

 specimen from Nain was also present. 

 Hyppa xyUnoides On. 



One $ , taken July 18th, seems best referred to this species although the 

 color is rather darker and the white patch above the anal angle reduced to a 

 narrow line. More material will be necessary to determine whether we are 

 dealing with a racial form or not. 

 Autographa arctica Moesch. 



Of late years a few stray specimens of this species have passed througn 

 my hands ; the present collection contains a long series, however, which con- 

 clusively shows that arctica from Labrador and 7'accinii Hy. Edw. from Mt. 

 Washington, N. H., are specifically identical. Both show the same finely waved 

 t.p. line and vary similarly in the amount of black suffusion on the central 

 portion of primaries. 



Arctica was originally treated as a Labrador race of Ji-aureum Gn., 

 described with type locality, Dalecarlia. Aurivillius, in his paper on the In- . 

 sects of Greenland (1890, Bihang K. Sv. Vet. Akad. Handl. XV. Afd. IV. p. 16), 

 makes it a pure synonym of u-aureum along with groenlandica Staud. and figures 

 the species on PI. 1, fig. 7. This figure corresponds remarkably closely to our 

 Labrador specimens. Hampson ( 1913, Cat. Lep. Phal. Brit. Mus. XIII, 424, 

 432) separates u-aureum Gn. and groenlandica Staud.. making vaccinii Hy. Edw. 

 a synonym of the former and figuring the species (PI. 236, fig. 16) from a 

 N^orth American specimen. Under groenlandica he cites arctica Moesch. and 

 u-aureuni Auriv. (nee Gn.). His figure of groenlandica (PI. 236, fig. 23), 

 drawn from an Iceland specimen, certainly appears to represent a species dis- 

 tinct from his other figure but does not agree with Aurivillius' figure above 

 mentioned either in the shape of the gamma-mark or the wavy nature of the 

 t.p. line. Further under u-anrcuui he cites no European localities for the
