ON 'I'HE SPKCIES OF EUf ITHECIA OCCURRING AP CAL- 

 GARY, ALBP:RrA, WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF FOUR 



SUPPOSED TO RE NEW. 



BY GEO. W. TAYLOR, WELLINGTON, P.. C. 



Through the kindness of Mr. F. H. Wolley Dod, I have now in my 

 cabinet specimens of 13 species of " Pugs " taken by him in the neighbour 

 liood of Calgary. 



Three of tliese belong to \yell known and widely-distributed sj)ecies. 

 viz : Eupithecia cretaceata, Pack.; E. ravocostaliata, Pack. ; and Eucy- 

 matoge anticaria, Walker, 



All the others presented difficulties at first sight, but I have at last 

 identified five of them, I hope correctly, and I herewith offer descriptions 

 of four which I suppose to be new to science. The remaining species is 

 certainly different to any of the others, but I have only seen a single 

 specimen, and therefore think it desirable to defer cliaracterizing it. 



The five species already described, in addition to the three named 

 abcJve, are : 



Eupithecia iiimbicolor, Hulst. — I determined this species from Dr. 

 Hulst's description, but I have since had the opportunity of seeing a 

 specimen which Mr. Wolley Dod thinks was returned to him by Dr. Hulst 

 as conspecific with the type of iiimbicolor^ which was also a Calgary 

 specimen. There is not much doubt, I think, but that we have this 

 species correctly identified. 



F^. niultiscripta, Hulst. — This species was described from Colorado. 

 Dr. Barnes has the type, and he has kindly given me a specimeii agreeii g 

 therewith. Mr. Wolley Dod's specimens are larger and more heavily 

 marked, and have the margins of the hind wings rather more rounded out, 

 but I should not like to separate them specifically from multiscripta 

 without first seeing a larger number of the Colorado form. I may say 

 here that the specimens from Kaslo which are recorded by Dr. Dyar 

 (Proc. U. S. Nat. Mas., XXVII, 890) under this name are, in my opinion, 

 clearly distinct, and I propose for them the specific name Dyai-ata. 



E. borealiSy Hulst. — This species was described from Winnipeg, and 

 I have seen a specimen in Mr. A. W. Hanham's collection so named by 

 Dr. Hulst. 



The published description, however, does not fit the insect at all well. 



1 have good specimens from Mr. Wolley Dod which do not difter in 

 any respect from those taken at Winnipeg by Mr, Hanham.
