Canadian records 

 British Columbia: Shawnigan Lake, Vancouver Island (VII-14-23, E. H. 

 Blackmore) . 



Remarks. — This and the four foregoing species all have very sim- 

 ilar genitalia, but nubiferella has distinctly narrower harpes than the 

 others and is widely different in pattern and coloration. 



All the specimens I have seen are males. The California and Oregon 

 specimens (including cotypes) are all considerably lighter in colora- 

 tion than specimens from Washington, Idaho, and British Columbia. 

 The northern specimens may represent a species distinct from that rep- 

 resented by the California and Oregon specimens, presenting a par- 

 allel case with that of arcueJla and hyperella in which the females 

 give the only reliable character for separation. The type locality 

 (from which I have two specimens) is not far from the locality where 

 the Idaho material was collected, and it does not seem likely, there- 

 fore, that the two color forms represent different species. Until fe- 

 males from both northern and southern localities are obtained I 

 believe it advisable to leave both color forms under one name.
