SPODOLEPIS SUBSTRIARIA Hulst. 



Four spocimens, Miiy lo (Mr. Cockle), Juii(^>i, ;>, the later ones much 

 worn; also one from Mr. Cockle's collection, April 28. 



GABRIOLA DYARI Taylor. 



No specimens; one in Mr. Cockle's collection. 



SELIDOSEMA HUMARIUM Guenee, var. EMASCULATUM, new variety. 



Five specimens, June 80, July ir>, IS, and one from Mr. Cockle's 

 collection, much darker than the others. In markings this form agrees 

 closel}" with eastern hurn<ir!um. It is, however, much slighter in l)uild 

 and the secondary sexual characters of the male are less developed. 

 The hindtibiie are swollen, but not nearly as strongly as in kumariurn. 

 There is a groove on the inner side, ))ut I do not detect a hair pencil 

 in it.

CLEORA PAMPINARIA Guenee. 



Five specimens, June 7, 1(», 18, and one from Mr. Cockle's collection, 

 June 1, 19()1. I have the species from A\'(dlington, and Seattle, VV^ash- 

 ington. 



CLEORA UMBROSARIA Hubner. 



No specimens; one from Mr. Cockle's collection. The specimen 

 agrees with two in the National Museum bearing Dr. Packard's origi- 

 nal labels ^''Boarniia rndicatar/a.^ conip.Walkei''s type" and ^'Bodrnua 

 umhromria Hbn,, B. gnopJiosaria Gn.," the specimens originally com- 

 ing from the Meske and Rile}^ collections. They are males and show 

 a hair pencil on the hind til)ia% so I transfer iii)ihr<>>«()'la to CJeora^iol- 

 lowing Ilulst's separation of CJi'ora and Se[!d<»<e>n<i. 



MELANOLOPHIA CANADARIA Guenee, var. SUBGENERICATA, new 



variety. 



Five specimens. May 29, 30, June 3, 4, and one from Mr. Cockle's 

 collection. The si^ecimens are generally larger and darker than the 

 Eastern form and differ decidedly in the reduction of the secondary 

 sexual characters. I shall descril)e the larvie in Life Histories of 

 North American Geometridte, LX. They feed on spruce, mimicking 

 the young needles in color. Ir^ the male moths the lateral a])dominaI 

 tufts are very small, in some hardly 2)erceptil)le, and the hind til)ia' are 

 less swollen than in Eastern specimens and are more slender, though 

 bearing a distinct hair pencil. I have the form also from Mount 

 Angel, Oregon (F. Epper), Push, Oregon (H. Ahlers), Seattle,
