oO 26 British CoLuMBIA. 1923 



he is a very keen naturalist his material always contains something worthy of note. The follow- 
ing are his most interesting captures :— 
Agassiz—Plagodis approvimaria Dyar.; a single specimen taken on July 23rd. This is a 
very late date for this species, as our specimens from other localities were all taken in May. 
Fort Steele-—Macaria unipunctaria Wright; Phasiane orillata Wik.; and a single specimen 
of Marmopteryx marmorata Pack.; this is an unexpected locality for this species, as all our 
previous specimens have been taken between Penticton and Osoyoos. 
Keremcos.—Euxoa cinereopallida Sm.; two specimens taken on September 16th. Our 
previous records are from Lillooet (A. W. Phair) and Penticton (W. B. Anderson). Turoa 
quadridentata flutea Sm.; a single specimen taken on the same date. This capture extends the 
known range of this species in the Provinee, as we have only had it listed previously from 
Chilcotin (IE. R. Buckell) and Fort Steele (W. B. Anderson). 
Lytton,—Oncocnemis cibalis Grt. A rather worn specimen of this uncommon species was 
taken on September 24th. 

MICROLEPIDOPTERA, 
4 
Although it has been such a poor season for Lepidoptera in general, we have been successful 
in getting together a large number of micros, of which I have set up something over 1,400 
specimens. Many of these have not been previously recorded from this Province, a few are 
new to science, and our collections have been enriched by many desirable species which were 
previously unrepresented. 
We are very much indebted to the Hon. J. G. Colville and to Captain J. Wise, who made i 
large collections during the season at the beautiful home of the former, which is ideally situated 
en the Saanich Arm, some 16 miles north of Victoria. They collected persistently throughout ; 
the whole of the season and brought in hundreds of specimens, including many desirable species q 
and several new records for the Province. Collections have also been made at Victoria, Fitz- : 
gerald, Dunean, Maillardville, Nicola Lake, Salmon Arm, Marron Lake, and Vavenby. ; 
The following list of species are new to the Province and are additional to those previously 
published in the Annual Reports of the Provincial Museum for 1920 and 1921 . 
The greater part of this season’s captures in the Tineina (sens lat.) have net yet been worked 
up and anything new or worthy of note will be included in next year’s report. 
The numbers and arrangement are in accord with Messrs. Barnes & MeDunnough’s Check- 
list. Those marked with a star have been described since the ‘“ List ’’ was published.
