50 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



specimens are almost as much like Dr. Holland's fig. of Aileni, but are 

 darker throu^jhout. 



424. S. HudsoJiica, G. and R.? — A worn $ from Pipestone Creek, 

 Laggan, July 16th, 1904, looked to me like a dark suffused variety of what 

 I have listed as Melipotis Ujnbolaris, and I placed it in that series. I have 

 received, however, from Dr. Dyar as Hudsonica^ a very closely similar 5 

 from Kaslo, but, unfortunately, also rather worn. In both specimens the 

 primaiies are blacker, and secondaries much less orange than in Dr. 

 Holland's figure. 



425. Catocala ipiijuga, Walk. — Very rare at treacle, and occasionally 

 at rest in daytime, or in houses. My only two s[)ecimens are dated Aug. 

 27ih and 29ih. 



Var. Fletcheri, Beut. — Named after Dr. James Fletcher. Dr. 

 Fletcher says in Rep. Ent. Soc, Oit,, N(\ 19. j). 94, 1903, "A new 

 variety, which was collected by Mr, T. N. Willing, of Regina, when livin:^ 

 at Olds, Alta., about 60 miles north of Caigary. It is like the tyi)ical 

 form in marking's, but the bands on secondaries, instead of being red, are 

 of a dark yellowish sooty-drab." I am not sure where the type of this 

 variety is at present. 



426. C. briscis, Edw. — Rare. Treacle, in Aug and Sept., and 

 occasionally at rest in daytime. I have a specimen in whic.i the basal 

 half of both primaries and secondaries is almost entirely black. 



427; C. reiicta, Walk. — I never met with the species until 1904, 

 when three or four fine specimens, including both sexes, turned up at 

 treacle and light on Sept. 3rd and 5th, which agree with a $ sent, named 

 by Dr. Fletcher, from Ottawa. Mr. Gregson took two specimens at 

 Biackfalds on Sept. 15th and 17th, 1901, which I have seen. 



428. Erebus odora, Linn. — One 9. Identified by Dr. Fletcher 

 from a coloured drawing made by Miss Moodie, of Calgary, in whose 

 possession I have seen the specimen, and who tells me that it was taken 

 in the town of Calgary in May, 1897. The specimen is badly worn, and 

 is, of course, a migrant. 



429. Epizeiixis Americalis, Gn. — Common. Light and treacle. 

 End June and July. 



430. Fhi/o?netra goasaiis,VJd\k. — Common at light. Also flies in 

 daytime. July. 



431. Hypena kumu/i, Harr. — Very rare. Apparently double 

 brooded. A worn specimen at treacle on Red Deer River, about 55 miles
