206 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



From Mr. A. T. Dennis, oi Beidah^'A. small but interesting lot. 



Through your — I must say 02ir — well-beloved Dominion Entomolo- 

 gist-in-Chief, Dr. Jas. Fletcher, a very carefully prepared lot of specimens 

 from Mr. L. E. Marmont, recorded as from Rowithwaite. 



Through the courtesy of Dr. H. G. Dyar, a small lot of unidentified 

 material from the National Museum, collected by Mr. A. W. Hanham, 

 under the localities Wiiinipeg and West Manitoba. Also a few 

 indifferent specimens collected by a couple of small boys at Wattsview 

 and Souris. 



In regard to the identifications, I would say : In the Tortricids I am 

 entirely responsible for the names. The Pyralids have in a few cases been 

 directly identified by Prof. Fernald, the balance named from my own 

 collection, which, however, was also largely named by him. This also 

 applies to the Crambids. The Phycits have been largely determined by Dr. 

 Dyar. The Pterophorids I have worked out entirely by the synoptic 

 tables in Fernald's Monograph of this group, comparing where possible 

 with figures in Walsingliam's " Ptero. of Cal. and Ore." Some of these 

 names may have to be corrected, as synoptic tables at their best are very 

 far from perfect. In the Tineid families, those that have been named 

 have been identified by comparison with typical examples in my own and 

 the National Museum collection. Many species, however, yet remain to 

 be identified, and I purpose entering seriously into this work as soon as 

 I have got the Tortricids in fairly good order. 



In brackets, after many of the species, I have added the localities 

 hitherto recorded, so far as I know them. A particularly noteworthy fact 

 of this list is, that the Manitoba fauna seems to' embrace species from 

 both the coast and foothill districts of the Pacific Slope, from Texas and 

 from the Eastern States, as well as a number of the European species that 

 are accredited to North America. 



The descriptions of the new species of Tortricids will follow the 

 general list, with the hope that within the additional time permitted, more 

 specimens of some of them will have been received.
