and the larger grasses. I don't ihink Typha grows here at all. . I 

 certainly never saw it. 



365. Tapinostola orientalis, Grt. — Two {? (^ at light, Sept. 3rd and 

 5th, 1904. " Darker than usual," according to Prof. Smith. 



366. Hydrcecia Americana, Spcyer. — Fairly common at treacle. Aug, 

 and Sept. I have specimens with the reniform both white and orange, 

 but do not know to which of the varieties described by Prof. Smith they 

 should be referred. 



367. H. medialis, Smith. — Rare. Middle Aug. to early Oct. 

 Treacle, light, and sometimes disturbed from haycocks, etc., in daytime. 

 Mr. H. H. Lyman states (Can. Ent., XXXVII. , 30) that a Calgary speci- 

 men in the British Museum is the form named pallescens by Prof. Smith. 

 I have not seen Prof. Smith's Monograph of Hydroecia, but note that Dr. 

 Dyar does not list the two names as distinct. My six specimens show 

 considerable variation in shade of colour, but I have never suspected two 



species. 



368. Papaipema impecimiosa, Grt. — Two $ ^ and a ? , bred from 

 larvse found feeding in stems of Cow Parsnip ( Heracleum lanatum ?), 

 close to the Red Deer River, about 50. miles north-east of Gleichen, in 

 early July, 1904. The moths emerged from 14th to i6th August. They 

 appear to be the same species as Dr. Holland's, PI. XXVI., fig. 5, which, 

 however, is there stated to represent inqiicEsita. Tr.e figure is declared by 

 Mr. C. J. Smith, in Ent. News, XV., p. 221, to be that of impecuniosa, 

 and I have since had this statement corroborated by Prof. J. B. Smith and 

 Dr. Dyar. A specimen from New Brighton, Pa., is slightly darker than 

 the local specimens. 



369. Pyrrhia exprijnens, Wik. — Very rare, and only taken during 

 twQ seasons, Jtme 28th to July 12th. Treacle and flowers at dusk. 



370. Xafithia Jlavago, Fabr. Fairly common at treacle some years. 

 Middle Aug. to middle Sept. 



371. Cirrcedia pampina, Gn. — Sometimes common at treacle. 

 Middle July to early Sept. 



372. Scoliopteryx libatrix, Linn. — Rather rare. Have taken it in 

 good condition at treacle in May and June, and from August until well 

 into the winter, at the latter season hibernating in root cellars, etc. 



(To be continued).
