226 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



on Sept. 6th, 1904. They differ from anything else in my collection, and 

 seem to agree with the figure and description oifagina in the Revision. 



349. X. Oregotiensis, Harv. — Prof Smith says he has a specimen of 

 this species in his collection which comes from me. I have a Calgary 

 specimen dated April 23rd, 1895, which stood for years in my collection 

 as Georgii, a name I have certainly had given me, though not to that 

 specimen, which, judging from the description in the Revision, is probably 

 Oregonejisis. However, it seems that of the older species, emarginaia, 

 holoci/ierea, Georgii, puella and Oregonensis, are all very much alike, and 

 to these I believe may now be added Fletcheri, ancilla and vertina. 

 Holocinerea should occur at Calgary, as Winnipeg, Man., and " N. W. 

 British Columbia " are amongst its original localities. I have a Manitoba 

 series received as Georgii and holocinerea which I cannot separate into 

 two species, nor distinguish from my Calgary specimen. The shape of 

 the orbicular would seem to be an unsafe guide in separating species in this 

 group, as I notice it often varies considerably in the two wings of the 

 same specimen. 



350. X. ancilla, Smith. — (Psyche, June, 1904, p. 57). Described 

 from Calgary, Cartwright, Man., and Wellington, B. C. The ^ type 

 is from Cartwright, and the 9 from Wellington. The Calgary specimen 

 is a $ co-type in my own collection, dated Sept. 18th, 1899, and I have 

 one other Calgary 9> Sept. i8th, 1898, and a similar specimen from 

 Cartwright, Man. Tiie description says : " Allied to Oregonensis, Harv., 

 but of a very dark blue gray, with much less contrast, and inconspicuous 

 maculation. The scant material indicates a considerable range of varia- 

 tion, and that tiie more uniform examples may be confused with 

 well-marked Georgii or holocinereaJ' My three specimens look distinct 

 from anything else here listed. 



351. X. pexata, Grt. — A single specimen dated April 29th, 1895, has 

 been thus named by Prof Smith, and is not unlike his and Dr. Holland's 

 figures of that species. It has lost an abdomen and both hind wings in 

 the mails. 



352. Liiholomia napcea, Morr. — Common. Sept. to early Oct., and 

 after hibernation from March 29th to May 30th. The first noctuid seen 

 in the spring. 



353. Calocampa ciirvimacula, Morr. — Two specimens at treacle, 

 Sept. 27th, 1903, and one more the following fall. 



354. C. nupera. Lint. — Rare. I have records (except during the 

 winter) for every month except July.
