THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 89 



Habitat : Mount Cheam, near Agassiz, British Columbia. 



Professor R. V. Harvey, who collected the specimens, and after whom 

 the species is named, sends the following note : Mount Cheam is a peak 

 in the Cascade Range, and rises abruptly from the west bank of the Frazer 

 River opposite Agassiz station, on the Canadian Pacific, about 70 miles 

 from the coast. It attains a height of 8,000 feet, but the spot where these 

 specimens were obtained was some 1,500 feet lower, in a grassy valley 

 clothed in brake-fern and various flowering plants. The species appeared 

 to haunt a clump of low bushes of a species of mountain ash, whose 

 flowers seemed to attract insects in some numbers. Most of the speci- 

 mens were taken while resting on bare stony patches among the fern 

 adjoining the clump mentioned. 



If there are those who have aided me in any way in getting the 

 material for this paper together, and if I have not given them credit, I 

 wish to thank them for their part in the matter. I say this because I sus- 

 pect that some of the specimens have been collected by parties not men- 

 tioned, but I have used the data at hand and given the facts so far as I 

 am in a position to know them.
