THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 255 



1'aylor has seen it, and refers it to this series. The band is very much 

 redder, more uniform in colour, has not nearly such distinct reticulation, 

 and is bordered by narrow daik lines instead of irregular shades. I took 

 a closely similar female near the Chalet at Laggan, below 6,000 feet, on 

 July 14th, 1904. The only other munitata which I have from the moun- 

 tains is a typical male. Mr. Taylor says of a picked series I sent him: 

 " I am calling it munitata. but our western coiivallaria is very like it. It 

 is not our British Columbian and Californian defensaria^ I am indebted 

 to Mr. Taylor for Wellington specimens labelled convallaria, and though 

 forgetting that he had sent me the above note, found myself unable to 

 distinguish them from the Calgary species. De/e/isaria, which I have 

 from both Wellington and Kaslo, differs, amongst other respects, in the 

 less concave anterior edge of the band. In the Kootenai list, recording 

 convallaria^ Gn., as common in that district, Dr. Dyar says : " Hulst's 

 nemorella; from Alaska is scarcely more than a variety of this, and both 

 will be found to unite with the European munitata^ Hbn." End June to 

 early Aug. 



500. X. ferrugata, Clerck. — Common. Middle June to middle 

 July. 



501. X. circumvallaria, Taylor (Can. Ent., XXXVIII., 205, 

 June, 1906*. — Fairly common in the spruce near Billings's mill. My 

 only dates are June 191}! and 24th, I have not yet heard of it from any 

 other locality. Easily distinguished from any other geometer occurring 

 here by having a well-defined blackish outer border to the secondaries. 



502. X. fossaria, Taylor, MSS. — About ten specimens at Agnes 

 Lake, Laggan, 6 850 feet, just below the timber line, on July 20th, 1904. 

 Wellington si)ecimens (June T5th to 30th, in my collection) are much more 

 clearly marked, and look to me like another species. Specimens in Mr. 

 Taylor's collection from Stickeen River, in northern B. C., are, how- 

 ever, somewhat intermediate. Mt. Cheam specimens are exactly like 

 those from Laggan. 



503. Synelys e?iiicieata, Guen. — Two specimens from the Red Deer 

 River locality, taken by beating bushes in the daytime, on July 5th and 

 6th, 1905. Both in fine condition. One is exactly like Dr. Holland's 

 figure under the name alabastraria. Of this specimen Mr. Taylor says : 

 " It is alabastraria of the lists, but really a var. of enucleata, Gn. 

 Alabastraria is European only." The other specimen, which Mr.

This is a form of the Kuropean turbata^ Hbn." (L. B. Proul, in Hit.)
