8 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 



examined, were from Labrador specimens. A Rama, Labrador, 

 specimen in my collection, from Prof. Smith, is slightly smaller 

 than the local series, and differs in being less blue-gray, and a 

 trifle ochreous. 



617. Protagrotis nichollae Hamps.— (Can. Ent., XL, 102, 

 March, 1908). Described from Alberta and B.C. material taken 

 by Mrs. NLcholl. The male type is from Simpson River, 7,000 ft., 

 Aug. 13th, 1904, and the female type from Glacier, 4,100 ft., 

 Aug.^Srd, 1907. Both localities are in B.C. The rest are four 

 Alberta specimens, three males and a female, Wilcox Peak, July 

 29th and 31st, 1907, and Brobokton Creek, Aug. 12th, 1907. I 

 am not aware that I have ever seen any other specimens. The 

 impression received after viewing the specimens on two different 

 visits, was that the species somewhat resembled a large Scoto- 

 gramma near promulsa. Hampson places the genus Protagrotis 

 after Eurelagrotis and Rhynchagrotis at the end of his vol. IV. 



618. Semiophora elimata Guen.— Banff, July 28th, 1910. 

 One male. N. B. Sanson. The specimen is near the var. 

 badicollis Grt. as diagnosed by Hampson, that is having the black 

 markings strong. I have seen neither the type nor description 

 of that form. For a further note on this species, vide Ent. 

 News, XXIV, 359, Oct. 1913. 



619. Setagrotis vernilis Grt. syn. filiis Smith. — (Smith, 

 Trans. Am. Ent. Soc, XXXIII, 127, April 1907; Dod, Ent. News, 

 XXIV, 361, Oct. 1913, re syn.) Banff, Aug. 14th— Sept. 11th, 

 1910-11, Sanson. Laggan, Aug. 9th, in Prof. Smith's collection, 

 probably from Mr. T. E. Bean. Grote's type is a male from 

 Colorado in the British Museum, and one of my Banff specimens 

 agrees with it exactly. Smith described filiis from a single male 

 from Pullman, Washington. When I first saw the type in his 

 collection I took it for an unusually dark blue-gray form of infimatis. 

 At that time I did not know vernilis, as the species which I had 

 standing wrongly under that name in my collection, and which I 

 recorded as vernilis in 41st Rept. Ent. Soc. Ont., 1911 (the 

 "Entomological Record" for 1910, p. 10), was vocalis.
