40 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



probable that the name refers to dargo Strecker (No. 237 of this 

 list), or to a mixture of that and niveilinea. The latter species I 

 ;haA'e neAer taken. 



-629. E. dolensSmitli.— (Can.Ent., XXXVUI, p.22C), Setagrotis, 

 July, 1906) ; syn. quinta Smith (Ann. N. Y. Acad. Sci., XVIII, p. 97, 

 Eiixoa, Jan., 1908). Dolens was described from a male and two 

 females from Beulah, Man., and Arrowhead Lake, B. C. I saw a 

 pair of types in Smith's collection, the male from Beulah, and the 

 female from Arrowhead Lake. Quinta was described from three 

 males and two females from High River (Baird), and Kaslo (Cockle), 

 and I have seen a type from the former locality in Smith's collection. 

 I- made the reference in my notes after direct comparison of the 

 types, and Smith admitted its correctness to me personally. It is 

 a close ally of and agrees structurally with scandens Riley, which 

 Hampson places in Lycophotia Hbn. Both species lack the tuber- 

 culate'frons of Euxoa. Compared with scandens the newer species 

 is darker, has more distinct t. a. and t. p. lines, and uniform dark 

 secondaries. I have a defective male from High River, dated 

 September 7th, 1908. The dates given under the description of 

 dolens are Arrowhead Lake, June 8-15, and Beulah, Aug. 28th. 

 LInder quinta, Kaslo, June 1st, 30th, and July 7th and lOth. No 

 dates to the High River types. 



Quehecensis was described from a single female from Quebec, 

 and referred doubtfully to Setagrotis. I have seen the type in the 

 Washington Museum, and though I had nothing with which to 

 compare it, I believe that this will be found to be a prior name to 

 dolens. 



630. E. septentrlonalis Walk. — A male at Lethbridge on 

 Aug. 21st, 1912, by Mr. Wallis. This is the only example taken in 

 Alberta that' I haive seen, which I have been quite certain was 

 this species, and all the records I have seen under the name from 

 other places in Canada east of the Rockies have proved erroneous 

 upon investigation. It is a species sometimes very closely resem- 

 bling messoria, so closely in fact as to make separation very difficult, 

 but it is undoubtedly distinct, as listed by Hampson, who correctly 

 makes incubita Smith a synonym. It is sometimes very common on 

 Vancouver Island. Another very closely resembling, though 

 smaller species, is pesfula Smith. (My Nos. 249 and 265).
