254 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Holland's figure under this name is really H. excurvata, of which I have 

 specimens from Victoria, B. C. The species bear no resemblance to one 

 another. 



492. Triphosa indubitata, Grt. — A male on October 22nd, 1902. 

 The name stands in Dr. Dyar's list as a synonym of progressata^ Walk., 

 which Mr. Taylor tells me is not North American. 



493. Ccenocalpe 7?iag?io/iafa, Gn. — Two specimens only, one on July 

 30th, 1893, near mouth of Fish Creek ; the other here in the hills, at light, 

 June 26th, 1903. 



494. C. polygrainuiata, Hulst. — A badly rubbed male on July 3rd, 

 taken by beating in daytime, and a fine female three days later, both on 

 the Red Deer River, about 50 miles from Gleichen. The first record for 

 the species in Canada, according to Mr. Taylor. 



495. C. topazata, Strk.- — Probably not rare in the spruce. I have 

 only two specimens at present, June 5th and July 5th, "Billings's mill." 



496. Gypsochroa designata, Hfn. One on July 2nd, 1893, near 

 mouth of Fish Creek, and a male at light at the Red Deer River locality 

 on July 4th, 1905. The localities suggest a prairie rather than a mountain 

 species. 



497. Xanthorhoe inctirsata^ Hbn. — I have taken it somewhat 

 sparingly amongst the spruce near Billings's mill, and in the mountains 

 near the Lake Louise Chalet at Laggan, almost up to the limit of timber, 

 the highest-up capture being at Mirror Lake, about 6,500 feet. End June 

 and July. The species occurs in B. C, but is not common. 



498. X. abi'asaria^ H. S. — A mountain species. I have it from 

 Laggan, Banff (top ridge of Sulphur Mt., 8,000 feet), Lineham's lower log 

 camp, and Billings's mill. The latter place is almost the eastern limit of 

 the spruce, beyond which it does not seem to occur. Not rare. Middle 

 July to middle Aug. 



499. X. mimitata, Hbn.— A common and very variable insect, in 

 which the sexes might easily be mistaken for two species. The ground 

 colour of the males is dull pearly gray, and there is a strong tendency for 

 the central purplish band to become constricted in the submedian inter- 

 space. In one of my specimens the blackish defining lines actually 

 touch. The females have as a rule the ground colour tinged with ochreous, 

 and have a wider band. A female from Laggan, taken above timber 

 (over 6,500 feet), on Slate Mt., differs so in the band from any of my 

 Calgary specimens, that I felt sure it was a distinct species, but Mr.
