130 THE EEPOKT OF THE No. 36 



for several years. It was entered as chandleri in my Alberta List (No. 



185), and so passed in other western collections until Sir Oeorge Hampson 



recognized it as distinct and named it, (Dod). 

 1403. Bhynchagrotis inel&gans Sm. Shawnigan, B.C., July 9, 1913, (Wallis). 

 ^ New to Canada, (Dod). 

 Noctua acarnea Sm. (Journ. N. Y, Ent. See. XIII, 194, Dec, 1905). 



Banff, July 3, 4, 10, on electric light poles, 3 males in good condition, 



(Sanson). Described from a male from Banff taken on July 11th, 1902, 



also by Mr. 'Sanson. This year's captures are the only specimens I ever 



saw besides the type, (Dod). 

 1493. Noctua patefacta Sm. Midnapore, Alta., July 11-30. A few at light, 



(Tams). 

 1497. Noctua clemens Sm. Midnapore, Alta., June 29. A male at treacle. Very 



rare in Canada, (Dod). 

 Noctua dislocata Sm. (Can. Ent., XXXVI, 149, June, 1904. Midnapore, 



Alta., July 3; two at treacle (Dod & Tams). 

 1547. Feltia Vancouver ensis Ort. Midnapore, Alta., June 3 and 30. A pair, at 



light, (Tams). I had only one previous Alberta record, June 9th, 1897. 



The male recently taken scarcelv differs from Vancouver Island specimens, 



(Dod). 

 Chorizagrotis sordida Sm. (Journ. N.Y, Ent. 'Soc. XVI, 86, June, 1908). 



Midnapore, Alta., a rather worn female at light. Aug. 36, (Tams). 



This is the No. 335 of my Alherta list, which on the strength of a specimen 



compared with type I now helieve to be sordida, (Dod). 

 1583. Paragrotis dargo Strk. Moose Jaw, Sask., (Johnson). Rumatana Sm. is an 



exact synonym, (Dod). 

 1611. Paragrotis acornis Sm. Midnapore, Alta., a few at light, Aug. 36th to Sept. 



35th, (Tams). 



1659. Paragrotis hrunneigera Grt. Victoria, B.C., (Blac^more). I had formerly 



given this name to a different species in British Columbia, but the de- 

 termination is correct, (Dod). 



1660. Paragrotis incalJida Sm. Midnapore, Alta. Two at light, Aug. 6th and 



Sept. 35th, (Tams). 

 1735. Paragrotis infusa ^m. Lethbridge, Alta., Aug. 33, 1912, (Wallis). Second 



Alberta record, (Dod).

(Dod & Tams). High Eiver, Alta., June 19, (Baird). 

 1799. Mamestra invalida Sm. Midnapore, Alta., June 39 and July 1. Two 



females at treacle, (Dod). Banff, Alta., several at light, (Sanson). I now 



believe this" to be identical Avith cristifera Walk., which however is quite 



distinct from hihens Grt., (Dod). 

 Mamestra lub^ns Grt. High River, Alta., June 16th, (Baird). Mr. Baird 



has' previously taken the species at High Eiver, though, this is the first 



published record for Alberta. It is distinct from cristifera, (Dod). 

 1806. Mamestra nib ef acta Morr. Midnapore, Alta., June 5 and 19. Two fine 



females at treacle. A great rarity here, (Dod). Hugh Eiver, Alta., June 



19, (Baird).
