130 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



persimilis type, and Holland's figure under Heliaca diminutiva 

 (PI, XXVII, fig. 56) is also persimilis. 



662. Calpe canadensis Beth. — I enter this record solely on 

 the authority of Dr. Holland, who states in the "Moth Book" that 

 the species ranges as far westward as Alberta. Its occurrence in 

 the province is by no means unlikely, though I never saw an 

 Alberta specimen. 



663. Autographa brassicae Riley. — I found a worn female in 

 my house on July 6th, 1905, and took a fine male during the following 

 month . Two fine females were taken at light on Sept. 2nd and 

 3rd, 1914. 



664. A sansoni Dod.— (Can. Ent., XLII, 349, Nov., 1910). 

 Described from a single fine male taken at Banft" by Mr. Sanson 

 on June 10th, 1910. The type is in the United States National 

 Museum at Washington. Before describing it, I had submitted 

 the specimen to Sir George Hampson , and he has described and 

 figured it in Cat. XIII, 546, pi. CCXXXVIII, fig. 32. Mr. Cockle 

 has recently shown me a worn female taken by him at Kaslo, B.C., 

 on July 1st, 1913. 



665. A. octoscripta Grt. — Two females on Pine Creek. Aug. 

 21st , 1903, and Aug. 27th, 1914. Banff, Aug. 1910, one male 

 (Sanson) . I have a note to the effect that I have seen a second 

 Banff specimen taken by Mr. Sanson. I referred to this form in 

 my notes under alias (Can. Ent. XLV, 191, No. 402). I have no 

 longer any doubt as to the form being octoscripta, but still lack the 

 material to decide definitely whether it is really distinct from alias. 

 I enter it here as distinct, as I think it may be. 



666. A. selecta Walk.— High River (Baird). Banff, Aug. 4- 

 19, 1910 (Sanson). On page 12 of the "Record" for 1910 I sug- 

 gested that selecta, with the subterminal line waved, might be 

 distinct from viridisignata, the more usual form with it dentate. 

 Sir George Hampson treats viridisignata as "ab. 1," giving as a 

 character, besides the dentate line: "the lobe on the outer edge 

 of the stigma rounded." Recent observation has led me to look 

 upon the form as varietal only. The sign varies in colour from
