Gris BrrrisH COLUMBIA. 1924 

Transmissana Walk. must now be removed from out British Columbia List and digitana 
Heinrich put in its place. Digitana is very close in colour and maculation to nigralbana Wals. 
The latter also occurs on Vancouver Island. 
Epinotia meritana Heinrich. Described (ibidem, page 226) from thirteen specimens. ‘The 
type and eight paratypes were reared from larvie mining pine-needles by H. J. Peck, of the Utah 
Agricultural Experiment Station; the other four paratypes were taken by W. R. Carter at 
Victoria, B.C. The latter were found at rest on the trunks of Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga 
mucronata). This is a small species measuring from 10-11 mm. in alar expanse. The fore 
wings are white, banded and cross-lined with blackish fuscous ; the hind wings are smoky fuscous, 
with shining lead-grey fringes. So far it has been found here in a very limited area.
