350 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Arctiid.e. 



107. Eubaphe aurantiaca, Hbn., var. rubicimdaria, Hbn. — Common 

 flying in sunshine. End of June and July. I have only seen a single % . 



108. Doiiia Albertce, Dyar. — Described from Calgary. Probably not 

 rare m the spruce some seasons, though I have only taken two specimens 

 from near Billings's lumber mill in early July. These are the diaphanous 

 gray form referred to in the description. A third, taken at head of Pine 

 Creek on June i ih, igoo, by Mr. Hudson, is the specimen there mentioned 

 as being washed with white, and which I had looked upon as a distinct 

 species. Type 5747, U. S. Nat. Mus., has been divided. The left wings 

 are in the National collection mounted on a slide, and the rest of the 

 specimen is in my own collection. Though I have looked out for it, I 

 have not met with the species since 1900. At rest it resembles Eubaphe 

 in form. 



109. Estigmene acrcea, Dru. — Common in the town of Calgary, and 

 probably on the prairies eastward. A few specimens were taken at head 

 of Pine Creek during 1903, but as the s])ecies had not been observed there 

 previously, they may have been the progeny of live $ $ brought by Mr. 

 Hudson or myself from the town. June. 



no. Neoarctia Beanii, Neum., Laggan (Bean). — Described from 

 there, I believe. 1 have a single specimen from Mr. Bean, July 9th, 1900, 

 bred from larva on willow ; vsiX./uscosa, Neum., is from the same locality. 



111. JSr. yarro2iii,?>iVQic\\. — A single specimen was taken on Aug. 

 i8th, 1902, on the bare summit of Mt. Niblock., near Lake Agnes, 

 Laggan, at an altitude of about 8,000 feet, by Dr. Wm. Barnes. 



112. Phragmatobia fuliginosa, Linn. — A single 9 flying in sunshine. 

 May 27th, 1S94. 



1 13. Arctia caja, Schrank., var. Wiskotti, Stand. — Mr. Sanson records 

 "var. Utahensis" {xoxi\'^\n'R. The name stands in the latest lists as a 

 synonym of Wiskotti. 



114. Hyphoraia lapponica, Thunb. — Occasionally in the hills at 

 light, rest, or flying in sunshine. Fairly common during 1902, and at 

 dusk in 1904. Middle June and July. 



1 15. Apaiitesis virgo, L. — A single (^ taken at light, July 22nd, 1903, is 

 apparently typical. A pair from Blackfalds, July ist and 2nd, 1902, have, 

 Mr. Gibson tells me, the markings on secondaries much heavier than in 

 the eastern form. These are the only Albertan specimens I have seen. 

 Mr. (iregson reported the larvi^ of this species to l)e abundant at Black- 

 falds during 1903. Mr. Arthur Gibson records the species from 

 Edmonton, in Northern Alberta.
