Prof. C. H. Fernald." Lord Walsingham did not supply another 

 term for this genus, which is in consequence at present without a 

 name; an applicable name may lie dormant, which eventually can be 

 resurrected, but I fail to find an}'' which can be used in the literature 

 at my command, and the genus may therefore, provisional!}^ at least, 

 be known under the name Allononyma. 



ALLONONYMA DIANA, var. BETULIPERDA Dyar. 



Orchemia dlana, var. betuliperda Dyar, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., XXV, 1902, p. 

 403; List N. A. Lepidoptera No. 5537a, 1902. 



One specimen, bred August 4, from alder, Kaslo, British Columbia, 

 which can not be distinguished from the type series bred from Betula 

 by Doctor Dyar in Colorado. 



HEMEROPHILA Hubner. 



HEMEROPHILA ALPINELLA, new species. 



Labial palpi whitish ochreous, tip of both joints darker, brown. 

 Tongue well developed, whitish. Antennae dark brown with silvery 

 white annulations. Face whitish; head and thorax golden olive brown, 

 dotted with white. Forewings golden or bronzy olive brown, irregu- 

 larly sprinkled with white scales; at basal third is a transverse band 

 of brown without the white sprinkling and at apical third is another 

 similar brown fascia outwardly angulated in the middle and followed 

 by a nearly pure white narrow edge, which is strongl}^ emphasized at 

 the costal margin as a pure white dash. This white transverse angu- 

 lated line is faintly continued across the hindwings. 



The apical part of the forewings is more strongly bronzy metallic 

 than the rest of the wing, the extreme apex and apical part of the 

 costal edge especially so. Hindwings dark fuscous with strong golden 

 reflexion, especially in the apical part outside the above-mentioned 

 narrow white transverse line. Under side of all wings light golden 

 ochreous with the costal white dash at apical third of the forewings 

 plainly indicated. Legs whitish, sprinkled with golden brown; tip 

 of last tarsal joint on posterior legs black; posterior tibiaj not, as is 

 usual in the family, entirely smooth, but with a few longer stiff hairs 

 on upper side of anterior half. Expanse, 14 mm.

Ilahitat. — Bear Lake Mountain, British Columbia, July 21 (Caudell 

 and Currie), Kaslo, British Columbia (Cockle). 



One of the tj-pe specimens of which I made a slide of the wings on 

 the right side exhibits a rather unusual aberration in the venation, 

 the hindwing having 7 veins emitted from the cell; besides the usual 

 8 veins normally found in the hindwing, there is one developed
