with ochreous. Cilia paler. Under side front wing light tawny brown 

 below costa and before outer margin ; central part of wing from base to 

 end of cell, dark, brownish fuscous. The reticulations of upper side are 

 duplicated on costa and outer margin, with three well-defined short costal 

 streaks beneath the inner and outer edge of fascia and inner edge of costal 

 spot. Abdomen grayish-brown, tuft ochreous, legs pale ochreous. 



$ , 25 mm. Marked generally same as -ft , but ground colour is 

 darker brown, causing the fascia and spot to be less distinctly defined; the 

 reticulations are also more obscure, except between the submarginal line 

 and outer margin they are more distinct and form a submarginal dark 

 shade. Hind wings slightly paler. One (^ . Two 9 . Medicine Hat,

The rnaculation of this species is very much like Robinson's figure 

 of Archips zapulata^ except that the dark basal area sh&wn on the figure 

 is entirely absent. It is also very much darker than zaptdata, and as 

 the o has no costal fold, it cannot even be referred to the same genus. 



Tortrix pallorana, Rob. — Twelve specimens, Lethbridge, VII., 11, 

 Regina, VII., 10, to IX., 2. (^ 's average 25 mm ; 9 3° "im- I have so 

 far found it impossible to satisfactorily separate Robinson's two species, 

 pallorana and lata. Mr. VVilling's specimens agree in size with lata, but 

 in colour and shape they are nearer pallorana, although they do not 

 exactly agree in any one particular with either, except that the fore 

 wings are immaculate. We may have a new species, but I should hesitate 

 describing it without very much more complete data of the larval stages. 

 Pallorana is on record as bred from Verbena and Cerasus. 



Tortrix albicomana, Clem. — One specimen, Lethbridge, VII., 11; 

 The canary-yellow form, rather heavily overlaid with pale purple scales, 

 concentrated in two half fascife from costa and a whole fascia before the 

 cilia on the outer margin. It is the intermediate form, between the type, 

 which is the palest canary-yellow, and the other extreme, where the whole 

 fore wing is overlaid with deep lustrous purple, excepting a short basal 

 yellow patch, continuing in a line along the costa and running into the 

 outer marginal yellow fascia. I have recently separated this form, 

 calling it var. semipurpurana. This Regina specimen is of the form 

 commonly bred on Rose, and which has usually been mistaken for 

 bergmanniana, Linn. I have considerable doubt that the latter really 

 occurs in America.
