the older name of fervidaria. (See Packard's Monograph, p. 493.) This 

 name, therefore, was the one placed on the older lists. The two forms 

 are now considered distinct; but it is the form fiscellaria that is so abundant 

 in Canada and of which our western somniaria, Hulst, is the representative. 

 T. fisceljllaria and T. spmniaria feed as larvae on deciduous trees, while T. 

 fervidaria feeds on Conifers. 



From Ottawa I have received a number of splendid specimens from Dr. 

 James Fletcher and Mr. C. H. Young; indeed, the insects sent by the last 

 named are more beautifully set up than any I have ever seen in any collec- 

 tion. 



Mr. Young has sent me the true Nyctohia vernata, Packard, under 

 which name one usually receives anguilineata, Grote, (fusifasciata, Walker). 



He has also sent me specimens of the moth which stands on our lists as 

 Eustroma prunata, L. 



Mr. Young's specimens, however, are not really conspecific with this 

 European insect. Neither do they agree with our western form, which Dr. 

 Hulst separated under the name Neolexia xylina. For the present I have 

 placed the Ottawa moth in my cabinet as Eustroma triangulata, Packard, 

 (5th Eept. Peab. Acad. Science, p. 54.), as it is undoubtedly the form re- 

 ferred to by Dr. Packard under that name. I will point out the differen- 

 ces between the three forms : prunata, triangulata and .xylina in a paper 

 on our American Eustromas, which I hope shortly to publish. 



Mr. Young has also sent me a beautiful specimen of Anaplodes remo- 

 taria, Walker, taken at Meech Lake, Que. Among the moths sent by Dr. 

 Fletcher were specimens of Eupithlecia interrupto-fasctata, from larvae found 

 by Mr. W. Metcalfe on Jxniipenis communis in May. This was consid- 

 ered by Packard himself (Monograph, p. 52.) to be a synonym oi Eupithecia 

 miserulata, Grote, and in the Monograph Packard actually reprints his own 

 description of interrupto-fasciata almost word for word as the description of 

 miserulata. The American Eupithecia; are in a state of great confusion 

 (See note at end of this paper). Nearly all the specimens sent out by eastern 

 collectors bear the label E. miserulata, and two or three different larvae have 

 been described under this name. (Compare the descriptions in Packard's 

 "Insects injurious to Forest and Shade Trees, 1890." pp. 190, 910 and 

 919.) But if Grote's original description is to count for anything, his 

 species is quite different from Packard's and easily to be distinguished. 



Miserulata has a linear di'scal spot on the fore wing and is ivithout any 

 black band on the 2nd segment of the abdomen. It flies in April and May. 



Interrupto-fasciata has a large round discal dot and a distinct black 

 band on the 2nd segment of the abdomen. It flies in August. 



Several collectors have been good enough to furnish me with specimens 

 from Manitoba, and, as a result, I can add 14 species to Mr. Hanham's list 

 published in the Canadian Entomologist, vol. XXXIII. , p. 213 et seq.
