Genus Parasemia Hbn. 
Parasetnia plantaginis L. 
' Bomhyx plantaginis L.: Syst. Nat., I, 501, 1758. 
One specimen in the Canadian National collection from the following Yukon 
locality: Lansing river/Yukon Territory, June 24, 1905 (J. Keele). 
FAMILY AGARISTIDAE. 
Genus Androloma Grt. 
Androloma mac-cullochi Kirby. 
Alypia mac-cullochii Kirby: Faun. Bor. Am., IV, 301, 1837. 
One specimen in the Canadian National collection from slopes of mount 
Ortell, Yukon Territory, July 16, 1905 (J. Keele). 
FAMILY NOCTUIDAE. 
Genus Barrovia B. and McD. 
Barrovia fasciata Skin. 
Psychophora fasciata Skin.: Ent. News, XIII, 143, 1902, 
Two males as follows: Barter island, north coast of Alaska, July 11, 1914, 
captured in bright sunshine on the tundra, temperature 56° F. (D. Jenness); 
Herschel island, Yukon Territory, July 29, 1916 (F. Johansen). 
Both of these specimens are in fair condition. The species, concerning the 
generic status of which much has been written, is an interesting one. The type 
locality is Point Barrow, Alaska. The specimen collected on Barter island is 
shown on PL V, fig. 17. 
Genus Parabarrovia, n. gen. 
(Type Parabarrovia keelei, n. sp.) 
Agrees with Hampson's characterization of the genus Agrotiphila, Section I 
(Schoyenia) , excepting that the fore-tibise are not spined and veins 3 and 4 of 
secondaries are stalked. 
In the Canadian Entomologist, vol. XL VIII, 290, Barnes and McDunnough 
erected the genus Barrovia with type fasciata Skin., placing the genus near 
Agrotiphila Grt., differing therefrom by its unspined fore-tibise and hairy vesti- 
ture. Dr. McDunnough has recently informed me, however, that this character- 
ization is not correct, as the spined fore-tibise of fasciata were overlooked at the 
time. Barrovia B. and McD. will, therefore, come very close to Schoyenia, from 
which it differs in antennal structure. 
Parabarrovia keelei, n. sp. 
Antennae serrate and fasciculate. Head, thorax, abdomen and feet clothed 
with black and gray or silvery hairs intermixed. All the wings brownish, semi- 
translucent, the primaries darker than the secondaries. The median area of 
the primaries particularly towards the costa is irrorated with white, as is also 
the costal margin to near apex. Hairs on costa yellowish. . The brown neuration 
of all the wings is conspicuous. Scales on discal vein black, showing as a black 
streak. Ciha brownish-yellow. Underside of all wings paler than upper side, 
the scales being of a creamy white colour.
