101^ THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



E. Casloata, Dyar, — Dr. Dyar's types were from Kaslo. This is a 

 large species vti the absyntliiata group, and not likely to be confused with 

 anything else we have on the west coast. Mr. Wolley Dod's specimens 

 (Nos. 1 14 and 115) agree exactly with others from Kaslo. I have the 

 species from other [)oirits in Alberta, through the kindness of Mr. T. N. 

 Willing. 



E. cast'gata, Hubner. — This is a common European species, but 

 specimens taken in B. C. and Mr. Wolley Dod's Nos. 1 17, 134 and 141 are 

 so very close to those sent me from England that I have decided to include 

 them all under one name. I may be wrong, for there is always a risk in 

 aj)plying European names to American moths, but I really cannot see any 

 differences that I can express in words. 



The following species are, I think, new to science : 



Eupithecia Regina, n. sp. — Expanse 20 mm. About the size of and 

 otherwise closely resembling Eupithecia scriptaria, H. Sch. Palpi short 

 and stout. Abdomen gray, with brown tinge, dorsal tufts black, no 

 transverse band on 2nd segment. Wings rather short, apex rounded. 



Fore wings of a soft, even gray (in one specimen tinged with brown), 

 and crossed by many pale, wavy lines. In a perfectly fresh specimen nine 

 of these can be distinguished. The first two are close together, and 

 parallel, and limit the darker basal area. The third is the widest, and 

 includes a very minute discal dot. The next two are very faint, then two 

 more distinct exactly parallel, and occupying the place of the usual extra- 

 discal line ; then a very faint one, and lastly, the usual subriiarginal line. 

 All these pale lines are most conspicuous on the costa. There is a 

 marginal black line interrupted at the veins ; fringe the colour of the 

 wings, but darker basally. 



Hind wings with similar m.arkings, but much obscured, except the 

 double extra-discal line, which is clearly traceable. 



Beneath paler, fore wings with basal half smoky, costa with six or 

 seven dark spots, discal spot linear and quite distinct ; about six fairly 

 evident extra-discal lines. 



Hind wings with about seven distinct dark lines, and a very small 

 discal dot ; fringe checkered. 



Described from five specimens : One from Regina (Mr. T. N. 

 Willing), 25th June, 1905, and four from head of Pine Creek, Calgary (Mr. 

 F. H. Wolley Dod), June 29, 1904 ; July 7, 1901 ; July 22, 1903 ; 

 August 2, 1903.
