follows: July 16th (one); July 29th (two); August 4th (one); August 10th (two); and — 
August 12th (one). Strange to relate, six of the seven specimens were taken in my own garden. — 
It is a very pretty moth, the ground colour of the primaries being of a dull pink, with an i 
oblong yellow patch on the costa, and the long fringe of the outer margin is also yellow. It : 
belongs to the family Qicophoride. In a recent letter Mr. A. Busck, of the United States 
National Museum, states that we should find the larva spinning a flat web on the under-side — 
of oak, apple, or willow. 
53847. Crambus bidens Zell. This is an unexpected record, as its habitat is Eastern Canada 
and the New England States. <A nice series of this pretty crambid was taken by Mr. L. E. 
Marmont at Maillardville. It was on the wing from the end of July until the middle of August, 
but was extremely local. It is very closely allied to pascweilus Linn., with which species it is 
liable to be confused. 
7009. Hucosma johnsonana Kearf. This exceedingly pretty species was described in Trans. — 
Am. Ent. Soe., Vol. 33, page 36, Jan., 1907, from five specimens, which included a female from 
Victoria (Rev. G. W. Taylor) and a male from Vancouver Island. According to Mr. Busck this 
species is rather rare in collections. Mr. W. R. Carter, however, secured three nice specimens 
during the past season, the best of which, taken on July 29th, is figured. 
When in good condition it is a very pretty insect, presenting a rosy-pink appearance. The 
upper portion of the primaries are salmon-pink, with the lower half of the basal area a deep 
rose-pink, bordered by a narrow band of blackish scales. 
7010. Eucosma hopkinsana Kearf. This is another of Mr. Carter’s captures and is apparently 
new to British Columbia. It was described (ibid., page 87) from two specimens taken at 
Hoquiam, Wash. Four specimens were taken by Mr. Carter during August, one of which is 
illustrated. The primaries are of a light green, marked with lines and shades of black and 
fuscous. 
7313. Sparganotiis tunicana Wishm. A short series of this pretty brown and yellow tortricid 
was taken by the writer at Victoria and Goldstream during July and August. Mr. Busck considers 
this species to be an extreme variety of the immaculate inconditana Wishm. 'Two specimens of 
the latter were also taken by me at Victoria in July last. . 
*Cacecia hewittana Buseck. This species was described in Can. Ent., Vol. 52, page 125, — 
June and July, 1920, by August Busck from a large series bred from raspberry at Sydney, Nova 
Seotia. It is evidently a general feeder, as the writer bred a long series from larve feeding on — 
apple, pear, cherry, and laurel. The adults began to emerge on July 4th and continued doing 
so until about the 15th. They are very variable in the coloration of the fore wings, the ground 
colour ranging from light ochreous, reddish ochreous, to fawn and dark brown. 
It is rather surprising to see this species here in such numbers and it evidently has a wide 
distribution. Mr. Busck informs me that he also has the species from Toronto. : 
* Tortrix invidana Barnes & Buseck. The writer took several specimens of this new species 
in August and September, one of which proved to be a male. This is the first male recorded, 
the type specimens being all females. The ground colour is sordid white, with grey bands and 
markings edged narrowly with black. It is rather uncommon. ‘i 
* Peronea maximana Barnes & Busck. This is one of the largest of our British Columbia 
tortricids and is rather a handsome moth. Mr. Marmont took a long series at Maillardville from 
the middle of September and extending away on into October. The ground colour varies from 
a very light grey to dark grey, with a series of reddish-brown markings on the costal edge of 
the fore wing. The amount of reddish-brown sealing is also very variable, some of the specimens 
having comparatively little, while others are heavily strigulated. Mr. Marmont’s specimens 
were all taken at rest in a grove of second-growth alders a short distance away from his home, 
and this is probably their food-plant.
