THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 125 



discovered no way of separating cocklei and funesta, and doubt 

 their distinctness. I have Labrador (Moeschler) specimens in ni\ 

 collection which agree with funesta in the British Museum. I 

 have named a Newfoundland specimen cocklei for Mr. A. F. Winn. 

 Hampson places both in Sympistis Hbn., with others from our list 

 of Anartas having eyes ciliate (i.e., overhung by cilia?) and not 

 hairy. 



650. A. staudingeri Auriv. — Brobokton Creek (Mrs. Nicholl). 

 one male, Aug. 13th, 1907, in my collection, and four females in 

 coll. British Museum. Up to the date of Hampson's publication 

 in 1905, this species had not been recorded from North America. 

 In the Staudinger Catalogue mceschleri and staudingeri are listed as 

 vars. of leucocycla. Sir George Hampson makes mceschleri a var. 

 of staudingeri , and leucocycla distinct. M<rschleri was described 

 from Labrador, whence I have a specimen so named from Bang 

 Haas, probably of Mocschler's collecting. This is greyer than 

 Greenland leucocycla, and has not the yellowish secondaries of that, 

 but otherwise resembles it more closely than it does staudingeri 

 from the Alberta Rockies. / 



651. Taeniocampa oviduca Grt. — A male on Pine Creek, 

 June 2nd, 1914. 



652. Pleroma obliquata Smith. — Banff. April 25th to M^ly 

 8th, 1910, several specimens on electric light poles (Sanson). 

 Head of Pine Creek, April 22nd, 1911, a male at light (E. R. Brill). 

 The specimens are a darker, bluer grey than a Glenwood Springs, 

 Colo, series in my collection. It was described from Colorado. 

 A Vancouver Island specimen is much like the Alberta captures^ 



653. P. conserta Grt. syn. appositaSvmth. — Banff (Sanson) - 

 I have no record of date. In 41st Rept. Lnt. Soc. Ont. for 1910 

 (p. 11 of the "Record") I recorded conserta from Banff", and re- 

 ferred to "a form without the black suffusion, which I believe to 

 be the same species." The latter form was obliquata, recorded 

 above. Conserta has a black cloud over the greater part of the 

 primaries below the basal streak and median vein, as far as the 

 subterminal line, and extending obliquely to the apex from opposite 

 the cell. In other respects the maculation of obliquata and conserta
