1910 EXTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 117 



2,111. Xylina tha.vtcri Grt. Hymers, Ont., Sept. 2, (Dawson) ; McNab's Island, 

 Halifax, N.S., June 12, (Perrin). 

 CuculUa indicia Sm. Millarville, Alta., one male, at Bnrgamot, Aug, 1, 

 rare ; this will probably prove to be synonymous with ohscurior of Smith, 

 (Dod). 

 Gortyna pallescens Sm. Millarville, Alta., one about Sept. 8, disturbed 

 from a bunch of hay, a frequent method of capture in some previous 

 years. My note in the Eecord for 1906 should have referred to this 

 species and not medialis Sm., of which I have seen typical specimens 

 from Colorado which look distinct, (Dod). 

 Gortyna tlialictri Lyman. Aweme, Man., Oct. 1, (Criddle) ; a poor speci- 

 man of what I think is this species was taken this year at Winnipeg 

 by Mr. Wallis. The variety perohsohta, Lyman, was collected the past 

 season at Hymers, Ont., by Mr. Dawson. 

 Gortyna nepheleptena Dyar. Ottavv^a, Sept. 23, (Fletcher) ; Oct. 17, 

 (Gibson). The first Canadian records. 



2,200. Xanthia pulchella Sm. Duncans, B.C., Sept., over 20 specimens taken 

 at sugar. During previous residence of six years on Vancouver Island, 

 had only taken two specimens, (Hanham). 



2,214. Tapinostola variana Morr. Britannia, near Ottawa, July 28, (Baldwin) ; 

 Trenton, Ont., another specimen taken July 31, (Evans). 



2,221. Orthosia ralla G. & E. Trenton, Ont., Aug. 20, (Evans). 



2,301. Heliothis phlogophagus G. & E. Winnipeg, Man., Oct. 2, (Wallis). 



PoIycJirysia trahea Sm. Millarville, Alta., July 23 to Aug. 9, about thirty 

 specimens, principally at flowers of Larkspur, on which the larva in all 

 probability feeds. I have clusters of these flowers in my garden, but 

 those growing w^ild attracted by far the greater number. These captures 

 are an interesting discovery, as the food plant of moneta in Europe is 

 Monkshood, which belongs to the same family. The only constant dif- 

 ference between the European and North American forms appears to 

 be that the latter is slightly paler in colour. I have not seen typical 

 Siberian esmeralda, (Dod). 



2,481. Eosphoropteryx thyatiroides Gn. Duncans, B.C., a single specimen at 

 bloom in my garden in 1908 and another in 1909; a rare visitant on 

 Vancouver Island, (Hanham). 



2,494. Autographa ruhidns Ottol. Millarville, Alta., June 23 to July 5, six 

 specimens, five of them at treacle. It is unusual for this genus to come 

 to treacle in this district, and the capture of five specimens by this 

 means suggests that I might have found the species common had I dis- 

 covered its favourite flower, as I did trahea, (Dod). 



2.528. Autographa sacheni Grt. Millarville, Alta., one worn specimen flying in 



sunshine, Aug. 1, (Dod). 



2.529. Autographa snowi Hy. Edw. " Head of Pine Creek, Calgary " (the lo- 



cality usually cited in this Eecord, with equal correctness, as "Millar- 

 ville"), Jiily 23, 1905*, (Dod), and Mt. Athabasca, Alberta Eockies, 

 July 31, 1907, (Mrs. Nicholl). Both specimens are in the British 

 Museum and agree fully with the description and with Ottolengui's 

 figure. So far as I know these are the first correct records from Canada. 

 The resemblance to sacTceni is very close, (Dod).
