Kaslo, B. C, the race slightly larger than eastern basalts and darker 

 shaded. The form cervalis McDiinnough from Lilooet, B. C, is 

 somewhat browner than fei^naldalk^ which inclines to gray. The 

 species rims to the south along the Pacific coast, ohispalis being 

 described from San Luis Obispo, Calif., and hronzalis from San 

 Bernardino. The distribution also follows, the Rocky Mountains, 

 palloralis being described from Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona. 



SCOPARIA PACIFICALIS Dyar 



Scoparia pacificalis Dyae, Ins. Ins. Mens., vol. 9, p. 66, 1921. 

 Scoparia alaskalis Babnes and Benjamin, Gout. Nat. Hist. Lep. N. A., vol. 

 5, p. 49, 1922. 



I have not seen specimens of alaskalis and the form has not been 

 figured, but from the description it must be close to or be the same 

 as pacificalis. It was described from Ketchikan, Alaska. 



SCOPARIA LUGUBRALIS Walker 



Scoparia luguhralis Walker, Cat. Lep. Het. Brit. Mus., vol 34, p. 1498, 1865. 

 Scoparia truncatalis McDunnough, Can. Ent., vol. 54, p. 36, 1922. 



Very similar to hasalis, but stouter and broader winged. I have 

 not seen authentic specimens of truncatalis, but judge it to be the 

 same. Specimens are before me from Trenton, Ontario. Canada, 

 June 15, 1901 (Evans), Rochester, Minn. (C. N. Ainslie), and 

 Nulato, Alaska, July 23, 1916 (B. P. Clark, donor).
