_ 4009E: Hydriomena nubilofasciata form vulnerata Swett. This species is new to the Province 
and was taken by Mr. W. Downes at Sluggett’s, V.I., on March Ist, 1921. Some years previously 
Mr. Downes, who was then living in that locality, noticed a species of Hydriomena occurring in 
February which was apparently different from any of our known spring species in that genus. 
Owing to various causes no opportunity offered until this spring to investigate the matter, when 
a nice series was taken with the aid of a lantern. Nwbilofasciata Pack. has six described forms 
or races, all of which are colour forms (vide Swett, Can, Ent., XLIII., 79, 1911); this species 
ean at once be differentiated from any other British Columbia species by the dark marginal 
band of primaries. Mr. Swett in his notes states that he has the species from British Columbia 
amongst a number of widely spread localities, but he does not give any specific locality, neither 
does he refer to any particular form. 
4192. Eupithecia interruptofasciata Pack. The specimen figured was taken by Mr. G. O. lay 
at Maple Bay, near Dunean, B.C., in August, 1918. This species has not been hitherto recorded 
from British Columbia. It is an inhabitant of the Atlantic States and was described in Fifth 
Rept. Peab. Acad. Sci., 59, 1873. Mr. Day states that it is rather rare and very local; he has 
not taken it in any other locality in the vicinity, excepting Maple Bay. 
4209. Eupithecia mutata Pears. Taken by the writer at Goldstream on July 2nd, 1921. 
This is one of the rarer species of this genus. The only other specimen that I have seen is a 
rather worn individual taken by myself in a pine woods near Victoria on July 18th, 1913. ‘The 
specimen figured is in good condition and was obtained by “beating” in a heavily wooded 
(chiefly Douglas fir) district. It agrees with Pearsall’s description (Journ. N.Y. Ent. Soe., XVI., 
98, June, 1908S). The species was described from the Catskill Mountains, New York State. 
It is closely allied to albicapitata Tack., which is also a rare species in the Proyinee, our only 
records being Cowichan Lake (Day) and Kaslo (Cockle). 
4223. Bupithecia scabrogata Pears. This is another new record to add to the already long 
list of Bupithecias (about fifty) recorded from British Columbia. It was taken by Mr. Theo. 
Bryant at Wellington, B.C., on April 16th, 1908. One other specimen taken on March 24th of 
the same year is not in such good condition. It is quite distinct from any other species that 
we have. The determination was made for us by Mr. L. W. Swett. 
4316-1. Drepanulatrix secundaria B. & McD. Taken by Mr. Cockle at Kaslo, B.C., on June 
14th, 1910. At first thought to be a new species. It, however, agrees with the description 
(Cont. Lep. No. Amer., Vol. III., No. 1, page 25, Nov., 1916) of secundaria, and Dr. Lindsey, 
‘who compared. it with the types, believes it to be this species, although it is rather far north. 
The species was described from Mineral King, Cal. 
4374. Phasiane hebetata Hulst. Taken at Chilcotin, B.C., by Mr. E. R. Buckell on July 16th, 
1921. This is the first specimen of this species in good condition that I have seen. We have had 
two specimens previously—one from Atlin (EH. M. Anderson) and the other from Chileotin 
(W. A. Newcombe)—that were referable to this species, but were so denuded of scales as to 
make accurate identification impossible. The course of the extra and intra-discal lines are 
exactly the same as Barnes & McDunnough’s figure (Cont. Lep. No. Amer., Vol. III., No. 4, 
Plate XXII., Fig. 9) of demaculata, which the authors later (ibid., Vol. IV., No. 2, page 149) 
sunk as a synonym of hebataia. Mr. Buckell’s specimen agrees with the description and the 
figure mentioned. The type material of demaculata also included a specimen from Field, B.c. 
The species has a wide range, but is rare in British Columbia. 
4425. Itame pustularia Hub. ‘This is another very rare species in British Columbia. The 
specimen figured was taken by Mr. A. W. Phair at Lillooet, B.C., on June 29th, 1920. The only 
other specimen that I know of in the Province is a specimen taken at Kaslo by Mr. Cockle many 
years ago. It occurs throughout the Atlantic States and I have specimens from Manitoba. It 
has not been recorded from Alberta. 
4453. Dysmigia loricaria Evers. This species is new to the Province. A nice series was 
taken by Mr. T. A. Moilliet at Vavenby, B.C., during the middle of July, 1921. It was recorded 
in the 1904 B.C. Check-list under the name of Sympherta Julia Uulst., and the localities given 
are Rocky Mountains and Kaslo (?). I have seen all Mr. Cockle’s species and he has not taken 
it. The species was left out in the 1906 List. Some specimens, especially if a little rubbed, 
closely resemble Itame erauspicata Wk., which also occurs in the same district. The females 
are wingless.
