36 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 



Xanthorhoe des'ujnata Hufn. 



A small series, rather worn, captured between July 25th and August 6th. 



Xanthorhoe akjidata Moesch. 



The identity of this species has always been doubtful ; the general 

 conception, following a specimen in the British Museum, is that it is a species 

 closely allied to fossoria Tayl. A single S before me fits these requirements 

 although not agreeing very closely with the original description as regards the 

 details of the median band. For the present I identify it tentatively as algidata. 

 The genitalia seem distinct from those of the other members of the group as 

 far as I can judge from Swett's paper (1918, Can. Ent. L, 17) with little or no 

 material before me for comparison. The costa is narrow apically and bears a 

 bunch of long spines directed inward. 



Xanthorhoe fcrruyata Clerck. 



A number of specimens captured in July and considerably the worse for 

 wear. 



Eiiphyia litcttiata obductata Moesch. 



Apparently one of the commonest geometers of this region; some speci- 

 mens show traces of a narrow pale band on secondaries. 



Eulype hastata Linn. 



One specimen, taken August 5th, of the typical form. 

 Dasyiiris polata Dup. 



Two 9 's. captured August 21st and 22nd. 

 Bupithecia sp. 



Several specimens too worn for identification. 

 Macaria (jraiiitata sc.viiiaeulata Pack. 



Four specimens which presumably may be referred to this race. 

 Aspilates orcifcraria hibradoriata Moesch. 

 ( A good series, the 9 's showing a decided yellowish tinge to the primaries 



Pyraudae. 

 NomophUa nocinclla Schiff. 



Two specimens taken early in August. 

 Scoparia centuriclla Schiff. 



A number of small, rather dark specimens. 

 Laodamia fusca Haw. 



One male. 

 Phityptilia cardiiidactyla Riley. 



Two specimens of this species, kindly identified for me by Dr. A. Lind^ 

 sey; the species has to my knowledge not been previously recorded from Labra- 

 dor. 



Gelechiidae. 

 Gelechia continuclla Zell. 



One specimen. This European species has been twice described from 

 North America under the names trimaculella Pack, and albamaculella Cham. 

 Mr. A. Busck informs me that he has recently made slides of the $ genitalia 

 of specimens from both continents and they prove to be identical, establishing 

 the above svnonvmv. • ^ .
