ADDITIONS TO THE LIST OF CANADIAN LEPIDOPTERA, 



BY J. ALSTON MOFFAT, HAMILTON, ONT. 



But little attention seems to have been given to Micro-Lepidoptera 

 by Canadian collectors hitherto, so far as can be gathered from the 

 printed lists, 83 names being all that could be reached when the 

 latest one was published. It is certainly not for want of an abundance 

 of material to work upon. I turned my attention to them specially last 

 summer, and was quite surprised to find that so many different species 

 could be obtained when sought for, considering that the season was a most 

 unfavorable one for collecting generally, and no doubt affected them 

 similarly. Mr. Fernald has kindly named the following ^^ species for me, 

 which I had in duplicate : 



1. Scoparia libella, Grote. 



2. Botis terrealis, Fr. 



3. ti venaHs, Gr. 



4. Cataclysta fulicalis, Clem, 

 spg. Paraponyx plenilinealis, Gr. 



, '*•' 6. Homophysa albolineata, G.-R. 



7. Ephestia interpunctella. Hub. 



8. Crambus sericinellus, Zell. 



9. 11 alboclavellus, Schl., 



var. 



10. M topiarius, Zell. 



11. M elegans, Clem. 



12. II vulgivagellus, Clem. 



13. Schoenobius longirostrellus, CI. 



14. Cryptolechia tentoriferella, CI. 



15. Epigraphia eruditella, Gr. 



16. Pandennis lamprosana, Robs. 



17. Lophoderus politana, Haw. 



18. CEnectra xanthoides. Walk. 



19. Amphisa discopunctana, Clem. 



20. Conchylis straminoides, Gr. 



21. Eccopsis permundana, Clem. 



22. II concinnana, Clem. 



23. .1 inornatana, Clem. 



24. II Footiana, Fern. 



25. Penthina hebesana, Walk. 



26. Sericoris agilana, Clem. 



27. Paedisca transmissana. Walk, 



28. II Scudderiana, Clem. 



29. Semasia formosana, Clem. 



30. Steganoptycha nubeculana, 



Fern. MSS. 



31. Phoxopteris nubeculana, Clem. 



32. Chimabacche haustellata, 



Wlsm. 



33. Gelechia roseosuffusella, Clem, 



There were several which I sent to him besides, that were new to him 

 or unnamed in his collection. Of these ^;^, four are in the Canadian list 

 Nos. 3, 4, 12 and 21. No. 4 is in the Society's collection as C. aimulalis 

 Walk., which Mr. Fernald informs me is a South American species, and 

 21 is probably the Grapholitha permundana of the Society's list. The 

 conditions must be particularly favorable for the development of No. 4 at
