457. E. 7iiinbicolor, Hulst. — Described from here. The description 

 says, '' wings very uniform, blackish-fascous, blackish cross-lines very 

 faintly showing." Though I cannot, with certainty, trace back the speci- 

 men or specimens from which Hulst described the species, a careful 

 l)rocess of elimination turns the probability upon one of two specimens, 

 upon which he commented in a letter to me, dated June 14th, 1895: 

 '• They are probably miserulata, Grt., but the lines are very indistinct." 

 One of these specimens was returned to me at that time. It is badly 

 worn and greasy, but does not misfit the description. It is labelled 

 " Mouth of Fish Creek, June 3rd, 1894." Mr. Taylor has seen it, and 

 has two others from here of the same species, dated May 27th and June 

 3rd. He feels confident that they are the iiimbicolor of Hulst, and writes 

 me : " The species is v^tW marked, and I do not know of any other with 

 which it can be confused." Hulst mentions no data as attached to the 

 type. 



458. E. multistrigata^ Hulst. — Mr. Taylor says: ''This is tnulti- 

 sirigata, without much doubt. Dr. Barnes has the type, and has sent me 

 a specimen agreeing with yours, but it is smaller." In the Kootenai list 

 under this name Dr. Dyar -mentions two specimens, which, he says, 

 " agree in general with a specimen from Calgary, communicated to me 

 by Rev. George W. Taylor." Mr. Taylor, however, tells me " this is not 

 the species called inultistrigata by Dr. Dyar in the Kootenai list. . . .The 

 Kaslo species is quite different." I have a Calgary specimen labelled by 

 Mr. Taylor, dated June 21st, 1895, and at least two other specimens are 

 certainly the same, June 23rd and July 4th, 1898. The description does 

 not misfit, but 24 mm. is given as the expanse, whereas mine vary from 

 25 (c^) to 27 mm. (^). 



459. E. ravo costal lata, Pack. — Decidedly rare. April 23rd to end 

 of May. 



460. E. castigata. Haw. ? — Mr. Taylor returned me a 9 so labelled 

 out of a series I sent him, commenting : 'T believe this to be the European 

 castigata. I have it from the prairies and from B. C. My identification 

 is made from a comparison with a good series of European specimens." 

 I have taken altogether about two dozen specimens, which I believe to be 

 the same species, all, or nearly all, during 1904, and on the wing just 

 before dusk. June 23rd to July 2nd. 



461. Eucymatoge anticaria, Walk. — Common. I have specimens 

 so named by both Huist and Mr. Taylor. June and July,
