1388. Rhizagrotis flavicollis Sm. Vavenby, B.C., August 26th, 1921 (T. A. Moilliet). This 
species is listed in the 1906 B.C, Check-list from Wellington and Kaslo, but all the specimens 
that I have seen under this name (about fifty from a dozen different localities) have been 
Auroa ridingsiana Grt. The two species are very much alike superficially, but flavicollis has a 
more yellow costa and the collar is yellow also. I have the species from Nordegg, Alta., and 
the Vavenby specimen agrees with these.

RARE AND UNCOMMON LEPIDOPTERA TAKEN IN British CoLuMBIA DURING 1921. 
Victoria —Mr. Martin Brinkman took the following noctuids during the present season, all 
of which are new records for Victoria: Graptolitha torrida Sm.; Acronycta funeralis G. & R.; 
and Autographa speciosa Ottol. They were all taken “at rest” on electric-light poles. He also 
took a specimen of that rather rare geometer Gabriola dyari Tayl. 
Master Lewis Clark, who has recently become an enthusiastic collector, captured a fine 
specimen of Autographa octoscripta Grt. This is the first record of this species for Vancouver 
Island. It is a very rare species in British Columbia, as only three specimens have been 
recorded to my knowledge. He also bred from a pupa found in his father’s garden a female 
specimen of that very rare geometer Cleora excelsaria Streck. It emerged on June 22nd. It is 
’ four years since I have had a record of this species, when I took a specimen at Goldstream on 
June 4th, 1917. A figure of this specimen was given in Rep. Proy. Mus., 1917, Plate IT. 
Mr. W. B. Anderson took specimens of Polia restora Sm. and Septis alia race rorulenta Sm. 
The former species is apparently increasing, as it has been taken by several local collectors 
during the past two or three years. It was at one time comparatively rare in eollections. 
Mr. W. R. Carter, who has collected assiduously during the season, has captured several 
very interesting species, amongst them heing a nice series of Jpimorpha nanaimo Barnes. This 
species has been a comparative rarity for many years, but from certain conclusions reached last 
year an exhaustive search of certain localities resulted in an increased number of specimens 
being taken this season. As the specimens taken haye always been in the vicinity of Lombardy
