captor. The dates are July 5tli and 6th, 1905, and some of the 

 specimens are in very fine condition. Mr. Taylor, to whom I 

 am indebted for a co-type, says that it diffeis obviously from its allies in 

 that the cross lines on the secondaries disappear in the submedian inter- 

 space, instead of reaching the inner margin. 



515. Epelis trwicataria. Walk. — Not common. End May and 

 June. A day flier. The species agrees with Dr. Holland's figure. 



516. E, Faxonii^ Minot. — A specimen in Mr. Taylor's collection, 

 taken by Mr. C. Garrett on Fallen Timber Creek, about 20 miles 

 west of Didsbury, on June 25th, 1904. Another specimen in my own 

 collection, from the same locality, but dated May 28th, is probably 

 the same species. The specimens have a much closer resemblance to 

 Dasyfidonia liviinailaria than to E. trtincataria of Dr. Holland's 

 figures. Mr. Taylor says: '• Faxonii is not a synonym oi truncataria. 

 There is an error here in Dr. Dyar's list." 



517. Eufidofiia fiotataria, Walk. — Fairly ^ 



common. End May and June. 



518. Orthofidonia setniclarata, Walk. — j Both day fliers. 

 Common most years. J 



519. Deiliiiia horealis^ Hulst. — Described from a pair from here. 

 I have it from the mouth of Fish Creek westwards to Billings's mill. Not 

 common. Middle June to early July. A day flier. No comment is 

 made with the description, so I presume it had at the time no known 

 close allies. But Mr. Taylor tells me that Hulst's D. solaniata, described 

 five years later from Manitoba, is nearly related to it, but is much darker. 



520. D. variolaria^ Gn. — Fairly common. July. The species is 

 pure white, faintly peppered with gray or smoky, and has no transverse 

 lines. In the latter respect it is quite unlike Dr. Holland's PI. XLHI, 

 fig. 36, which Mr. Taylor tells me is really erytJiremaria. 



521. D. erytJiJ-emaria, Gn. ? — Rather more common than the pre- 

 ceding. Mr. Taylor is in some doubt about the name. They are more 

 gray powdered and less yellowish than typical specimens. A pair from 

 Red Deer River have less powdering and yellowish lines, and may 

 possibly be the true erythremaria. End June and July. 



522. Sciagraphia granitata, Gn. — Common in the spruce, upon 



which, Dr. Dyar tells us, the larva feeds. A day flier. June and early 

 July. A small male taken by Mr. C. Garrett on Fallen Timber Creek, 

 about 20 miles west of Didsbury, on June 14th, 1904, has been placed in 

 this series by Mr. Taylor, but looks to me distinct.
