34 I Canadian Arctic Expedition, 1913-18 
Unfortunately the specimen is rubbed, rendering a more complete descrip- 
tion impossible. 
Alar expanse, 26 mm. 
Type, male, bearing the label '' Mountain below Twitya river, near Gravel 
river, Northwest Territories, July 2, 1908 (J. Keele)." 
Paratype, female from the same locality and bearing the same label. This 
specimen expands 30 mm., and in general is in rather fair condition. The wings 
are brownish and semi-translucent as in the type and there is a faint indication 
of a wide darker brown median band on the primaries, the outer third of the wing 
being faintly irrorated with white. In the median and basal areas whitish scales 
are also present. The wings of this specimen are more rounded at apex than are 
those of the type. The latter is figured on PL V, fig. 10, the paratype on the 
same plate at figure 9. Both types are in the Canadian National collection. 
Genus Epipsilia Hbn. 
Epipsilia wockei Moeschler. 
Agrotis wockei Moeschler: Wien. Ent. Mon., VI, 130, 1862. 
In the Entomological Record for 1908^ I recorded this species from Labrador, 
July 19 (A. P. Low). This specimen is in the Canadian National collection. 
Hampson gives the following distribution: Labrador; White mountains, 
New Hampshire; Ala Tau, W. Turkestan. 
I have compared our specimen with his figure- with which it agrees very 
well. 
Genus Anarta Ochs. 
Anarta subfumosa, n.sp. 
Head, thorax and abdomen brown, thorax with black and gray hairs inter- 
mixed. Antenna moderately serrate and fasciculate. Primaries dull smoky- 
brown suffused with gray; costal area black along the edge and thinly irrorated 
with white. Markings on the primaries indistinct, the most apparent being the 
t. p. line. The basal line and the t. a. line are specially noticeable on the costa. 
All these lines are whitish. The s. t. line is represented by a series of faint dots. 
Orbicular and reniform small, whitish. Cilia inner third dark brown, outer 
two-thirds pale brown. Secondaries white with rather broad dark brown 
terminal band and dark brown discoidal lunule; basal area darkened. Cilia 
whitish, inner third pale brown. 
Underside of all wings whitish, veins black-lined; discoidal spot on each 
wing conspicuous; secondaries with dark terminal band 
Alar expanse, 26 mm. 
Type, a male, (PI. V, fig. 16) from Armstrong point, Victoria island, North- 
west Territories, July, 1916 (J. Hadlcy). Paratypes, 4 males and 1 female from 
the same locality, July 1-10, 1916 (J. Hadley). In one of these (male) the median 
area on the primaries is darkened. In another (male) there are faint golden- 
yellow scales in the subterminal area and traces of a postmedial line on the 
secondaries. All are of a similar size to the type. Types in the Canadian: 
National collection. 
This species evidently comes nearest to A. staudingeri Auriv.
