256 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Taylor labelled eniickata, entirely lacks the outer band, but has the inner 

 and central lines more distinct. I was inclined to believe them two 

 species. 



504. Ciiiglis ancellata^ Hulst. — Not common. . End July and early 

 Aug. 



505. C.sp.? — A male near Billings's mill on July 19th, 1905, is 

 obviously distinct fiom anything else here listed, and I have taken one or 

 two other specimens at any rate nearly related to it. Names have not yet 

 been found for them. 



506. Leptomeris qiiinguelinearia^ Pack.— The males as a rule aie 

 taken fairly commonly at light and by beating, in July. It is common at 

 head of Pine Creek, and on Red Deer River, and I have it from near 

 Billings's mill, wjiere I took one of the only two males I ever saw here. 

 The other is from Lineham's log camp, in the foothills on Sheep Creek. 

 The local series differs from specimens sent me by Mr. Taylor from 

 Wellington, in being considerably smaller, having the lines as a rule less 

 distinct, especially the fine black terminal one at base of fringes, which is 

 often absent. A Cartwright (Man.) specimen agrees with the Calgary 

 series. Mr. Taylor has not suggested a distinct species. 



507. L, se?itinari(i, Hbn. — Common on the prairies, not common in 

 the hills. Middle June and early July. It is probable that I have more 

 than one species under the name. 



508. Eois persimilis, Hulst. — A single specimen on July 25th, 1901, 

 probably taken at light at head of Pine Creek. I sent the specimen to 

 Mr. Taylor three years ago, retaining L. ^-linearia as a duplicate, an 

 error which caused me endless confusion over the two names until I saw 

 both species in Mr. Taylor's collection last March. Differences which he 

 then pointed out to me are : — more even outer line (\\\persiinilis), general 

 indistinctness of lines, and almost rounded secondaries. I am not aware 

 that 1 have taken another like it. The species was described from Quebec 

 and Ontario. Hulst says in the description : '' Sent by Mr. Hanham, 

 of Winnipeg. The species seems to be midway in some respects between 

 E. indiictata and E. ^-linear ia. Mr. Hanham writes me indnctata is 

 taken at Winnii)eg in abundance on tlie open prairies, while this species 

 he has only taken in datk woods." These remarks are probably not 

 intended to imply \\\\\ persimilis occurs near Winnipeg. 



509. E. indiictata. — Very common some years, frequenting the open 

 prairies as well as the hills. A day flier, and comes freely to light.
