southern species, and the identifications under that name of 

 Canadian material are erroneous. 



On the other hand it is more than probable that several 

 other species will yet be found in the Dominion. These are 

 obliqua, Gn., nietata. Sm., curema, Sm., helata, Sm., squanunu- 

 laris, Dru., benesignata, Harv., and bethunei, Sm. One of the 

 objects of this paper, indeed, is to call the attention of Canadian 

 collectors to this genus and the work that yet remains to be 

 done in it. 



Additional Notes to the Above Paper. 



By Arthur Gibson. 



As an addition to the above interesting paper by our 

 honoured corresponding member. Dr. J. B. Smith, the following 

 notes, made chiefly from specimens in the collection of insects 

 at the Central Experimental Farm, are presented, 



Ph.«ocyma norda. Besides specimens from the type 

 locality, Kaslo, B.C., there are in the collection of the Division 

 of Entomology, specimens from Cartwright, Man. (Heath), and 

 Ottawa (Young) The species has also been taken at Chelsea, 

 Que. (Gibson). 



P. Calycanthata. In Dr. Fletcher's Entomological Rec- 

 ord, 1904 (Rep. Ent. Soc. Ont. 1904), this species is recorded 

 from Kaslo, B.C. As stated in Dr. Smith's paper this record 

 should now refer to the new species norda. 



P. MiNEREA. In the Entomological Record, 1906, (Rep. 

 Ent. Soc. 1906), this species is recorded from White River, 

 Hudson Bay Slope, June 2nd (W. J. Wilson). On further ex- 

 amination Dr. Smith could not confirm this identification, as the 

 specimen was much rubbed and crushed, and might possibly be 

 another closeh^ allied species. The above record had, therefore, 

 better be cancelled. 



P. duplicata. This species has been found at Digby, N.S., 

 by Mr. John Russell. One specimen taken there on June 6th, 

 is in the above collection. It has also been collected at Truro, 

 in the same province, by Mr. L. A. De Wolfe. In the Entomolo- 

 gical Record, 1904, a specimen of this moth is recorded as having 

 been taken at Wellington, B.C., by Rev. G. W. Taylor. This 

 specimen is the one referred to in Dr. Smith's paper under the 

 name largera. Duplicata. therefore, must now be removed from 

 the British Columbia list. 



P. CiNGULiFERA. This occurs at Ottawa. Last year several 

 specimens were taken by Dr. Fletcher, and Mr. Young has also 

 collected it. All the examples were taken in May. At Orillia,
