24 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGlSf. 



187. Ehynchagrotis gilvipennis, Gx\.. 



1 88. a. riifipcdiis, Morr. — Both pretty common. July and August. 

 1S9. R. anchocelioides, Gn. — I have a $ so named by Prof. Smith, 



but which looks to me exactly like Dr. Holland's figure oi alt em at a. The 

 specimen bears no date. 



190. R. placida, Grt. — Fairly common at treacle some seasons. 

 July and August. I may have more than one species under the name. 



191. Adelphagrotis prasina, Fabr. — Generally rare, but it came 

 rather frequently to treacle in 1903. July and August. 



192. Fhitugrotis pressa, Grt. Rare. July and August, Sir Geo. 

 Hampson says : " I doubt this h^xng pressa, it is much too uniformly gray 

 and fuscous. We have a similar specimen from California." 



193. Eiiretagrotis inattenta, Smith. — (Journ. N. Y. Ent. Soc, XI., 

 5, March, 1903). Described partly from Calgary material. The type, 

 which is in the Rutgers College collection, is a Calgary specimen. Resem- 

 bles perattenta, under which name I have sent it out. Compared with that 

 species. Prof. Smith says in the discription : " The new species is 

 uniformly larger, darker, and even in colour, without mottling, and with 

 the terminal space not lighter than the ground, though in one case some- 

 what lighter than the s. t. spaces." I have not yet had an opportunity of 

 comparing the two, though perattenta seems to occur at Cartwright, 



194. Pachnobia littoralis, Pack. — Prof. Smith used to call my form 

 pectinata, but more recently he has said : " Your littoralis seems to be the 

 normal form of that species." I may have both forms, but do not know 

 their characteristics. Common at light and treacle. June and July. 



195. P. salicarum, Walk. — Common at sallow blossom and light. 

 End April (earliest, 23rd) and May. 



196. Agrotis aiirnlenta, Smith. One fine ^ at light, July 28th, 1903. 



197. A. ypsilon, Rott. — Not common. I have taken it in fine 

 condition from June 23rd to Oct. 5th. 



19S. Peridro/na occulta, Linn. Common. End June to August. 

 Treacle. Very abundant during 1903, and a nuisance at treacle. I took 

 the opportunity, however, of picking out a fine series of perfect specimens, 

 including some very handsome forms. During the latter part of May and 

 early June the larva was to be seen in some numbers on the ends of 

 willow twigs in the daytime. These were apparently attacked by some 

 parasitic fungus, as they died on the twigs, to which they remained 

 clinging.
