marked as above but not darker in basal and marginal area. 

 Secondaries marked as above, pale yellow, with striations. 



This species appears to be close to pectinaria Denis and 

 Schift'ermiiller and its synonym deductaria Walker, which may be a 

 good species and not the same as pectinaria. In the copies of 

 Denis and Schiffermiiller's work in the Boston Society of Natural 

 History, I can find no figure or any description and it seems as if 

 there may be an incorrect reference, so that deductaria Walker 

 will, at least, represent an Eastern form. This species, alherta- 

 nensis, is apparently not common, as Mr. Wolley-Dod, from whom 

 I received the type, stated he had seen but few. Since then I have 

 received other specimens from Mr. Bowman and Mr. Mackie, of 

 Alberta. 



Holotype.— &, May 31, 1912, Calgary, Alberta, from Mr. 

 Wolley-Dod, and in my collection. 



Allotype.— 9, June 16, 1916, Edmonton, Alberta, in Mr. 

 Bowman's collection. 



Paratypes. — Two d^'s, Edmonton, Alberta, in Mr. Mackie's 

 collection. 



THE ANTHOMYID GENUS PHYLLOGASTER.— 



ADDENDUM. 



Since sending my paper on the Genus Phyllogaster to the 

 press* I have read C. W. Johnson's paper in the April number of 

 the Canadian Entomologist, in which he describes a new species 

 of this genus under the name robustus. An examination of para- 

 types of robustus discloses the fact that in addition to the dif- 

 ference in size between the species and cordyluroides, the male may 

 readily be separated from the latter and also from littoralis by the 

 presence of a large number of strong bristles on the basal dorsal 

 segment of the 'hypopygium (two in the others) and the much 

 larger pulvilli which exceed in length that of the apical tarsal joint, 

 whereas in the others they are much shorter than it. The female 

 of robustus has two thorns on apical abdominal segment, littoralis 

 has four, the female of cordyluroides is unknown to me. As in 

 cordyluroides the third vein of the wing is bare in robustus.
