gr;iy, cilia yellowish. Hind wings very pale gray, cilia a shade paler, 

 preceded by a pale yellow line. Abdomen gray above ; beneath, anal 

 tuft and legs cinereous. Expanse 25 mm. Six ^, Reginjj VI., 16; 

 Aweme, VII., 10 (Norman Criddle) Winnipeg, (Hanham). Co-types, U.S. 

 Nat. Mus., No. 8209, and my collection. 



I have described this as a variety of puritana, but should not be 

 surprised if it should prove to be a good species. 



Archips cerasivorana, Fitch. — Three bred specimens, labelled "cherry 

 web-worm," Medicine Hat, July. Not differing from specimens from the 

 Middle and Western States. 



Archips argyrospi/a. Walk. — One specimen; Calgary, VIII., i. The 

 dark form common to California. 



Arc/lips virescana, CXexn. — One specimen; Regina, VIII,, 13, very 

 badly rubbed, but no doubt this species ; common in the Eastern and 

 Middle States, and also recorded from Arizona. 



Archips persicana. Fitch. — Two specimens; Portage, VII., 10, and 

 Regina, VII., 18. Darker than either Eastern Canada or British Colum- 

 bia specimens, and with the white costal mark broader on the costa and 

 more nearly resembling Zeller's figure of his conigerana; with a sufficient 

 series showing this constant difference, I would be disposed to restore 

 Zeller's name, at least to varietal rank. 



Pandemis Canadana, sp. nov. — Fore wing very dark rusty brown, 

 more or less overlaid with grayish-brown scales, with an oblique, purplish- 

 black fascia from middle of costa to anal angle, a half-round spot of same 

 colour on costa between fascia and apex, and an irregular basal band. 



Head, palpi and thorax cinereous-gray sprinkled with darker 

 specks. Antennae cinereous. Fore wing rusty brown, overlaid with 

 gray or grayish-brown, especially in basal patch and between it 

 and central fascia. The dark scales in basal patch became more 

 concentrated outwardly thus sharply defining the patch against 

 the lighter ground colour which succeeds it ; the outer edge begins at the 

 inner quarter on costa, is slightly concave above and below median line, 

 and convex outwardly on median line, widest on dorsal margin where it 

 extends a third the length of wing and is shortly truncated. The central 

 fascia is nearly straight, on its inner edge, from costa to middle, thence con- 

 vex towards base for a quarter of its length, thence straight to dorsal margin, 

 which it touches at two thirds ; outer edge of this fascia concave on its 

 upper quarter, thence nearly straight to anal angle; the lower, outer
