22 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



175. Folia pulverulenta, Smith. — Rather rare as a rule, but fairly 

 common in 1903. August to middle September. 



176. P. viedialis, Grt. — A ^ taken at treacle near mouth of Fish 

 Creek, on Sept. 30th, 1894, was named f/iedia/is hyVroL Smith. Another 

 at treacle in the hills on Sept. 4th, 1896, passed as that species with Dr 

 Barnes. Neither are in my collection. Two ^ ^ , also at treacle, in the 

 hills on Pine Creek, Sept. 14th and 15th, 1903, were erroneously 

 recorded by me, from memory of the former specimens, as media/is in 

 Rep. Ent. Soc. Ont., No. 19, p. 92. Prof. Smith afterwards saw one of the 

 latter specimens, and said concerning it : " Not tnedialis, and nothing like 

 it in my collection." I have a specimen from Cartwright, Man., sent me 

 as confragosa, which I believe to be conspecific with these latter. The 

 two older specimens may or may not have been correctly named. 



177. Hyppa xyiinoides, Gn. — Fairly common at treacle some seasons. 

 Middle June to middle July. 



178. H. bnmneicrista, Smith. — Described from Calgary, and I have 

 not yet heard of it from any other locality. The type is at Rutgers 

 College. Apparently very rare, but its seeming scarcity may be due to 

 its having been overlooked. It files at the same time as xyiinoides, with 

 which I for a long time confused it. Its validity is, however, beyond 

 question. It differs from the preceding species mainly in these respects : 

 (1) The pectinations of $ antenna are longer, giving them a much heavier 

 appearance. This is quite obvious to the naked eye. (2) The thoracic 

 tuft is rusty-brown tipped. (3) There is a rusty shading in s. t. area near 

 anal angle, and the s. t. line is 7iot sharply angulated at that point, where 

 it also lacks the black crescent-shaped mark before it. It is, in fact, in the 

 anal angle where the most obvious points of difference may be looked for 

 in $ V • (4) The secondaries are more even and duller smoky, and 

 though the species is darker as a whole, this point is not a constant 

 feature. Four or five' specimens were taken at treacle during the past 

 season (1904), which are all I have seen for about six years, during which 

 time its congener, with which it flies, has not been at all common. I have 

 a 9 co-type. 



179. Euplexia lucipara, Linn.— Decidedly rare as a rule, but more 

 common than usual in 1904. June, at treacle. 



I So. HomoJiadena stabilis. Smith. — Described from Calgary. Type 

 at Washington. Common some years in July and August. Have bred it
