NOTES OF CAPTURES. 



(Species preceded by an asterisk (*) described during 1914.) 



Lepidoptera. 



(Arranged according to Dyar's List of North American Lepidoptera, U.S. Nat. 



Museum Bull. No. 52.) 



(Dyar's number.) 



Pi^ridse. 



40. Ponti'a rapce var. novanglicc ^Scudd. Smith's Cove, N.S., Aug. 11 (Gibson). 



52. Callidryas eubule L. Mr. W. E. Saunders, of London, Ont., reports having 



seen three specimens of this southern butterfly on Oct. 4 and 5. One of 



the specimens settled within three or four feet 'of him and spread its 



wings, so that he had an excellent view of it. 



81. Pyrisita mexicana Bdv. Aweme, Man., Oct. 1, (N. Criddle) ; Sept. 27, (E. 



■Criddle). Another very interesting record. 



Nymplialidae. 



222. Vanessa carye Hbn. Not uncommon this season, Duncan, B.C., noticed 

 ovipositing on hollyhocks, not observed in the district before, (Hanham). 

 Mr. R. N. Chrystal found the larvEo, the past season, doing considerable 

 damage to hollyhocks, at Vancouver, B.C. 



Hesperiidse. 



487. Erynnis comma var. laurentina Lyman. Bouaventure Island, Que., Sept. 

 20, (Taverner and Young). In Dr. Skinner's Synonymic Catalogue of 

 the N. A. Rhopalocera (1898) the reference should be corrected to read 

 " Can. Ent., XXIV, 59, 1892. The same correction should be mode in 

 Dyar's catalogue. 



Sphingidae. 



Hemaris diffinis var. ariadne B. and McD. (Psyche, XVII, 202, 1910). 

 Midnapore, Alta. ; common at dandelion blossoms, May 29, 30, (Tarns). 

 This is the diffinis of my Alberta list and the form figured by Holland as 

 thetis, on PI. 11, fig. l,'(Dod). 

 G53c. Hemans diffinis var. riihens Hy. Edw. Midnapore, Alta., a male, June 18, 

 (Tams). New to Alberta. Exactly like Vancouver Island specimens, 

 which, according to Barnes and McDunnough, are typical rubens or as it 

 is listed by tbem. " diffinis-theiis var. rnhens." It appears to me distinct 

 from ariadne (Dod).
