THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. S^ 



from larvje feeding on the Western Snowberry (Symphoricarpus occiden- 



talis). A dull red-brown species, with sometimes no sign of maculation 



whatsoever, except very faint traces of t. a. and t. p. lines. A figure is 



given with the description. 



i8i. H. badistriga, Grt. — Very rare. July and early August; 

 treacle. I have only one ^ and two ? $ , no two alike in either colour 

 or markings. Dr. Fletcher says his specimens of badistriga have white 

 secondaries. In my three they are smoky, and the name may be wrong. 

 H. fi/a, Dyar (Can. Ent., XXXVI., 30, Feb., 1904), is a closely described 

 form, \o which one of my 9 ? might possibly be referable. I have 

 Manitoba specimens of both sexes similar to this $ , which were sent me 

 as '^ either badistriga or kappa.'^ The latter species is unknown to me. 

 I am inclined to think that my three specimens are not all the same 

 species. 



182. Oncomemis pudorata, Smith. — Occurs in the mountains at 

 Laggan (Bean). The type is from Agnes Lake, near there, at about 

 6,700 feet, and is at Washington. I have a fine $ specimen from Mr. 

 Bean, which I am pretty sure is this species. A figure is given with the 

 description. 



183. O. atri/asciata, Morr. — Two specimens only, both $ $, and 

 quite fresh. One on a fence rail in daytime, July loth, 1896. 'J'he other 

 at treacle, Aug. i8th, 1903. •» 



184. O. viridititida. Smith. — A single $ at treacle, near mouth of 

 Fish Creek (Bow valley, below Calgary, and east of the hills), on Aug. 

 27th, 1894. The specimen has one hind wing chipped, but is otherwise 

 good. The type, which is in the Rutgers College collection, is from 

 " McLean, B. C.," and was taken by Mr. Bean. McLean, as before stated, 

 is in Eastern Assiniboia, where Mr. Bean formerly resided. Mr. Heath 

 records the species from Cartwright, Man., so it would seem to be a prairie 

 rather than a mountain species in the west. It has apparently been taken 

 in eastern Canada. A figure is given with the description. 



185. 0. Chandler i^ Grt. — Used to be very common, but I have not 

 taken it for some years. I think Prof Smith redescribed it as confluens 

 about 10 years ago, but the description was never published. Under that 

 name I formerly distributed it. July to middle September. Treacle and 

 light. One year it was a pest at both. 



186. O. cibalis, Grt. — Rarely common, and not seen for years, 

 Middle July to middle September.
