(Continued from page 48.) 



Proteopteryx Wiilingana, Kearf. — Two additional specimens; Reg- 

 ina VIL, 20. One strongly marked 9 and one almost unicolorous A , 

 the same as the types. 



Aiicyclis mediofasciana, Clem. — One specimen ; Regina, VI., 18. 

 Does not differ from Eastern examples ; 'already recorded by Dyar from 

 Kaslo. 



Epinotia pseudotsugaiia, Kearf. — One specimen; Regina, VIIL, 15. 

 Not differing from my types. This species comes very close to 

 pi7iicola>ia, Zell., differing principally in the front wings being of a dull 

 leaden gray colour, while in phiicolatui both ground colour and fasciie are 

 of bright brown shades. When describing this species I overlooked the 

 palpi, the outer joint of which is entirely exposed, hence it should be 

 placed in Epinotia and not Cydia ( Thiodiu). 



Cenopis rettaiiatatia, Clem. — One specimen ; Regina, VIIL, i. 

 Less red than the Eastern examples in my collection. I am not aware 

 of any previous record as far west as Regina. 



Sparganothis piiritana^ Rob.; vocaridorsana, var. nov. Differing 

 from puritana ; in short central fascia, reaching only to middle of fore 

 wing; entire absence of spot before outer margin, and in the costal spot 

 doubled in width, covering costa from middle to apex. 



Head, palpi and thorax yellow, much mixed with ferruginous, palpi 

 paler on inner sides and above at base. Fore wing light yellow, paler 

 than puritana. The spots and marks are a pinkish red, with a light 

 purple tinge at some angles. A short basal dash of this color, below the 

 costa and above the middle. A short fascia from costa at inner fourth 

 obliquely to lower vein of cell, irregularly straight on its inner edge, the 

 outer edge sharply and deeply indented by a spur of ground colour on 

 upper half of cell. Costal spot begins at middle of costa and extends to, 

 but does not involve apex, flatly triangular, its lowest point covering vein 

 7. A small discal spot. On dorsal margin are a few scattered reddish 

 scales between outer third and anal angle, beginning with a tiny spot. 

 Cilia tinged with pink. The costa from base to fascia is also narrowly 

 edged with reddish. Hind wings evenly gray ; cilia paler. 



Under side fore wing : Yellow and ferruginous in a narrow band 

 along costa, repeating the colours of the upper surface, below this dark
