THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 263 



splendid series in Mr. Cockle's collection, including both sexes, winged, 

 the species being recorded from that locality in the Kootenai list as 

 substriataria. I was unable to make two species out of them, but found 

 the variation enormous. xApart from that in shade and suffusion, the 

 white discal spot was sometimes lost, or nearly so, and the black cross 

 lines, sometimes very conspicuous, were in some specimens almost obsolete, 

 and in one instance reduced to slight black dashes on two veins only. 



539. Selidoseina umbrosaria, Hbn. ? — Five males and a female from 

 Red Deer River, July ist to ylh, 1905, at liL;hl and by beating. Mr. 

 Taylor has one of the males, but in only one of the other four am I 

 unable to detect a hair pencil on the hind tibia. From the fourth it has 

 probably been rubbed off in the pinning. Mr. Pearsall's remarks, in Can. 

 Ent., XXXVni, p. 178, (May, of this volume), concerning the absence 

 of hair ])encil in Hubner's species, leaves me in doubt as to the correctness 

 of the determination. 



540. Lycia cogiiataria, On.— Three pairs only have been taken, 

 though it seems at any rate widely distributed in Alberta. At rest and at 

 light, June and early July. 



541. Apocheima Rachelce, Hulst. — Four or five males only have 

 been taken, the captures extending over a period of six years. On the 

 wing at daytime, or at rest. Head of Pine Creek, April and early May. 

 Peihaps the earliest of all the spring hatching Lepidoptera. Described 

 from Colorado, recorded also in Dyar's list from Alaska, and Mr. C. V. 

 Blackburn tells me that he has taken several males at light in early April 

 at Woburn, Mass., the identification having been corroborated by Prof J. 

 B. Smith, who I believe has the type. So it appears to have a wide range. 

 Mr. Taylor tells me that the female is wingless, and that he has it in his 

 collection. I have not taken it near salt springs, as Mr. Bruce did in 

 Colorado. 



542. Dyscia orciferata, Walk. — Common, but more so on the 

 prairies than in the hills. A day flier. June and early July. 



543. A?iagoga J)?ilz'eraria, Linn. — Two specimens, both taken near 

 mouth of Fish Creek, June 6th and 7th, but at an interval of ten years. I 

 collected there for two years, and only remember seeing one, but I cannot 

 be sure that it is not common there some seasons. 



544. Sicya macularia, Harr. — Common. F^nd July to early Sept, 

 A very variable species, with a striking dissimilarity between the sexes. I 

 hive the name " var. crocearia " from Hulst, but cannot be sure to which 

 form it refers.
