THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST I79

Paratype, 1 c^, Pocahontas, Alberta (K. Bowman), August 17, 1916, in 

 Coll. Barnes. 



A series of five specimens from Nordegg. Alta., is contained in the Bowman 

 collection. 



This species has been doubtfully recorded by Wolley-Dod (Can. Ent. 

 XLVII., 7, 1915) under the name gelida var. mevesi Auriv. I have seen no 

 authentic specimens of this race, but judging by existing figures hardly believe 

 that the two forms are identical. The ^ genitaha (fig. 3) are quite distinct from 

 those of the two preceding species and closest superficially to those of 

 Aplectoides speciosa; the clasper is broad and rounded distally and on the ventral 

 surface a short distance anterior to the apex bears a thumb-like projection 

 considerably larger than the similar projection found in speciosa. 



Anomogyna (Aplectoides) beddeki Hamp. 



Through the kindness of Mr. W. H. Tams of the British Museum I have 

 received a sketch of the clasper of the J* type of this species ; the terminal portion 

 ends in a rather blunt point with a thumb-like projection on the ventral margin 

 near apex; between this and the end of the clasper there are several irregular 

 projections. 



The unique type came from Doyles Cadroy valley, Newfoundland, and 

 it is quite possible that the name beddeki will fall to livalis Sm. (1910, Jour. 

 N.Y. Ent. Soc, XVIII., 86), also described from Newfoundland. Smith's 

 species is, however, entirely unknown to me and until an opportunity of studying 

 the type is presented it would be unsafe to cite the two names as synonyms. 

 Judging by genitaha I believe I have found a specimen of beddeki mixed in with 

 a small series of speciosa in the Dod Collection from Grand Gulf, Mt. Wash- 

 ington, N.H. (Swett). The specimen is considerably worn, but shows the small 

 orbicular mentioned by Hampson, which, apart from genitalia, seems the best 

 means of separation from the very similar speciosa form of the White Mts. 



Five specimens before me from the Rocky Mts. are evidently very closely 

 allied to beddeki Hamp. They dififer, however, in the lack of any definite white 

 shading on the primaries, especially in the terminal area, being rather uniformly 

 dark olivaceous-gray with the filfing of the ordinary spots slightly paler in color 

 than the surrounding area ; there is also no evident black basal streak. It is 

 quite possible that these represent merely a western race of beddeki, as 

 the type of genitalia is essentially similar, the claspers only differing in the 

 minute detail of the apical margin, which is apparently by no means constant. 

 Until more material is available for study I shall regard the above characters 

 as being of good specific value. 



A. partita n. sp. 



Squammation rough, hairy. Primaries deep smoky, heavily overlaid, 



especially in median area, with j^ale olivaceous scaling amongst which are 

 scattered black scales. Basal half line indistinct, black, bordered outwardly 

 with pale olivaceous ; t. a. line black, outwardly oblique and rather irregular 

 from costa to submedian fold, then bent inward and forming a prominent 

 inward angle on vein 1, broadly edged inwardly with pale color; orbicular small.
