GEOMETRID.E. 



Canadian collectors have devoted considerable attention to these in- 

 teresting moths during the past season, and many have taken advantage of 

 the kind offer made by Eev. G. W. Taylor to identify their material. Mr. 

 Taylor has furnished me with the following interim report, and fuller 

 papers will appear later. 



''At the request of Dr. Fletcher I gladly furnish some notes on the 

 principal species of Geometridse referred to me during the year by Cana- 

 dian collectors. 



Beginning at the east. — I have beeen able through the kindness of Mr. 

 A. F. Winn, of Montreal, to see specimens of most of the species occurring 

 at Montreal and Quebec. Three are additions to the list. — 



Rachela bruceata, Hulst. 



Plagodis serin-aria, Herr-Sch. 



Cleora umhrosaria, Hiibner. 



Two species were on the list 'Geometridse taken at Quebec and Montreal,' 

 by G. E. J. Bowles, Can. Ent., XY., p. 164., under other names, viz.: 

 Rheumaptern sociata, as Eheumaptera unano-ulala, and llierina fisi cUaria, 

 as Therina fervidaria. With regard to the first of these, — In all the old 

 lists and collections Ihe insect stands as R. unaugiilata. Whether the true 

 Hydriomena nnangtilata, as it is now called, really occurs in America or not 

 I cannot say of my own knowledge. I have a good series of European spe- 

 cimens, but have not so far seen any taken in North America. The spe- 

 cimens from Montreal, Winnipeg and British Columbia, of which I have 

 seen very many, are quite clearly all Rheumaptei'a sociata. 



With regard to the Therinas, formerly Therina fervidaria, Hubner, and 

 T. fiscellaria, Guenee, were considered to be one species, which went under 



oa ENT.
