is near Brandon, Man., and I tiiink scarcely less than 650 miles from 

 the nearest point of B.C. 







278. Ufetis plicatus, Grt. — A single ^ taken in a house near mouth 

 of Fish Creek, Sept. qth, 1893, has been so named by Prof. Smith, but 

 he says it is redder than his sj^iecimens, 



279. U. satyricus, Grt. — Rather rare end Sept. to April. I have never 

 met with this species except in houses, to which I have no reason to 

 suppose that it has been attracted by light, even in the fall or spring. 



280. Agrotiphila incognita^ Smith. — Described from two ^ $ from 

 Laggan, Alta. (B. C. in error), July 22nd, 1890, Aug. loth, 1891. above 

 timber, 7,000 ft. (T. E. Bean). A 9 taken by Mr. Bruce, in Colorado, 

 is in the British Museum. The type is at Washington. 



281. A. macuiaia, Smith — Described from two ^ ^ from Laggan, 

 July 22nd, 1890, above timber, 7,000 ft. (Bean). I took a o and three 



$ $ there on July 19th and 20th, 1904. One $ near the summit of Mt. 

 Fairview, on the east side of Lake Louise, above 8,000 ft., and the 

 rest on St. Piran, above Lake Agnes over 7,500- ft., all on the viring in 

 sunshine, though probably disturbed by me. They were easy of capture. 

 The cT vvas in good condition, the 9 $ freshly emerged. Both this and the 

 preceding species are figured on plates accompanying the descriptions- 

 This species can be easily recognized from the figure, except that the 

 secondaries as there shown are very much too pale. This fact is 

 mentioned in the text. My specimens vary a good deal in the intensity 

 of the black suffusions. The type is at Washington. 



[Note. — Dr. Dyar's list of "The Lepidoptera of the Kootenai dis- 

 trict of British Columbia" (Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., XXVIL, pages 779- 

 938) has just come to hand and will be occasionally referred to by me 

 as the " Kootenai list."] 



282. Mainestra discalis, Grt. — Common. End June to early Aug. 

 Have bred it from larva beaten from Salix m early spring. The form is 

 slightly smaller and more distinctly marked than specimens that I 

 have from Colorado. 



283. M. mystica, Smith. — -Described from Winnipeg. Not common, 



though it showed up in rather unusual numbers in 1904. July. Treacle. 



I used to consider this a dark discalis, and though I certainly believe it to 



be a distinct species, I must say the extremes very nearly meet. In some 



respects it is perhaps nearer nimbosa, but as of that species I have only 

 a single and rather rubbed ? from New York, I will not risk comparison. 

 In the description Prof. Smith says: "It is somewhat intermediate between
