M 18 British CoLuMBIA. 


Noctuidae. 
Anomogyna partita McDunnough. Described in the Can. Ent., Vol. 53, page 179, Aug., 1921, — 
from five specimens. The type taken at Banff, Alta. (Wallis) ; two paratypes from Kaslo, B.C. 
(Cockle) ; and two paratypes from Nordegg, Alta. (McDunnough). 
Lymantriida. 
THemerocampa pseudotsugata McDunnough. Described in the Can. Ent., Vol. 53, page 53, 
March, 1921. This is the tussock-moth which I had previously determined (vide Rep. Prov. 
Mus., 1918, page 12) as Hemerocampa vetusta gulosa Hy. Edw. It was originally discovered 
by Mr. W. B. Anderson at Chase, B.C., who found it doing considerable damage to Douglas 
fir. Upon the receipt of a number of egg-masses from Mr. Anderson in the spring of 1920, 
Dr. McDunnough was enabled to breed it from the egg to the adult. From his observations 
on the laryal stages he came to the conclusion that the species was distinct and undescribed. 
Pyralide (Scopariine). 
Scoparia basalis race pacificalis Dyar. Described in Ins. Ins. Mens., Vol. IX., page 66, 
April-June, 1921, from four specimens taken at Victoria, B.C. (Blackmore) ; Mount Newton, 
near Saanichton, B.C. (Blackmore); and Grayland, Wash. 
Scoparia commortalis Dyar. Described in Ins. Ins. Mens., Vol. IX., page 67, April-June, 
1921, from three specimens taken by the writer at Victoria, B.C. This species is close to 
rectilinea Zeller, but is much browner and the paler areas more contrasting. 
Pyralide (Crambine). 
Crambus tutillus MeDunnough. Described in Can. Mnt., Vol. 53, page 160, July, 1921, from 
six specimens taken at Victoria, B.C. The type and four paratypes were taken by W. Downes; 
the other paratype was taken by the writer, mention of which was accidentally omitted from the 
original description. A note on this species will be found under the heading of “Illustrated 
Lepidoptera,” together with a figure of the paratype on Plate IV. 
Pyralide (Phycitine). 
Pyla blackmorella Dyar. Described Ins. Ins. Mens., page 68, April—June, 1921, from two 
specimens taken by the writer on Mount Tzouhalem, near Duncan, B.C., on June 24th, 1913. 
A figure of the paratype will be found on Plate 1V. and further remarks on the species under 
the heading of ‘ Illustrated Lepidoptera.” 
Pterophoride. 
Platyptilia alberta B. & Lh. Described by Barnes and Lindsey in Cont. Lep. No. Amer., 
Vol. IV., No. 4, page 346, from four specimens. Holotype female, Laggan, Alta.; allotype male, 
Mount Cheam, B.C. (R. V. Harvey); and two paratype females, Laggan, Alta., and Olympic 
Mountains, Wash. 
HYMENOPTERA (PARASITIC). 
Ichneumonidae. 
Myersia grandis Cushman. Described in Proe. Ent. Soc. Wash., Vol. 25, page 110, May, 
1921, from one female taken June 5th by Dr. H. G. Dyar at Kaslo, B.C. This specimen was 
found by Mr. Cushman among some undetermined Ichneumonide in the U.S. National Museum, 
and was probably taken by Dr. Dyar when he made his large collection of Lepidoptera at 
Kaslo, 'B.C., in 1903. 
DIPTERA. 
Mycetophilide (Pungus-gnats). 
In the Proc. Brit. Col. Ent. Soey., Feb., 1920 (issued Noy., 1921), page 16 et seq., Mr. R S&S. 
Sherman described the following sixteen species of this family :— 
Mycoma mutabilis. Savary Island, April.
