prefer to accept it. Phoca was described from Labrador and there 

 is a specimen from there in the British Museum from the Standin- 

 ger collection agreeing with Laggan specimens, though there are 

 none there from Calgary as stated in the Catalogue. The phoca 

 of Prof. Smith's collection was Anarta impingens Walker, which 

 he also had elsewhere under its correct name. Moschler's figure 

 certainly did suggest impingens rather strongly at first sight, but on 

 closer inspection I agreed with Sir George Hampson that it really 

 represented Smith's luteola. 



323. 5. imiformisSvaith. — I have seen the type of this species 

 in the Washington Museum and have a female in my collection 

 taken by Mrs. Nicholl on Mt. Saskatchewan in the Rockies of 

 Northern Alberta, on July 27th, 1907. Other specimens taken by 

 Mrs. Nicholl are in the British Museum, some of them apparently 

 mixed with phoca, which it resembles most nearly, but from which 

 it is probably distinct. It is a large species, and generally more 

 uniform in colour, as figured in Holland's Moth Book, PI. XXIV, 

 fig. 26, under the erroneous name of inconcinna. Hampson's 

 figure of a Colorado specimen is not good, and is not certainly 

 this species. Other records which I have of this species from 

 Alberta are, Mt. Athabasca, 7,500 ft., July 27; Sheep Mountain, 

 July 30th; and Broboktan Creek, Aug. 12th, 1907. Mr. Sanson 

 has taken what I believe to be the species at Banff, July 21st, 

 below 5,000 feet. Some specimens esemble the following. 



324. S. infuscata Smith. — This is the species I had listed as 

 ''phoca Moeschl.? " which is probably prior to luteola Smith. Hamp- 

 son makes promnlsa prior to infuscata, though Smith objected 

 to the synonym, stating that Hampson's figure of a Colorado 

 specimen was infuscata, and not promulsa (Journ. N. Y. Ent. 

 Soc, XV, 151, Sept. 1907). I must leave promulsa out of con- 

 sideration for the present, as I have no means of identifying it, but 

 my No. 324 is less brown than Hampson's figure, though not ochre- 

 ous enough for true infuscata, of which I have seen the types from 

 Park Co., Colo., 10,000 ft., and Gibeon Mt., Colo., 12,500 ft. 



325. S. perplexa Smith. — This I had listed as inconcinna on 

 Smith's own authority, on the strength of which also I permitted 

 Sir George Hampson to figure one of my specimens under the 

 name. The specimen figured is in my collection, though the
