C22 Brrrisoh CoLuMBIA, 1924 

Grt. (rare) ; Scotogrammea trifolii Rott.; Polia sutrina Grt. (very rare on the Mainland) ; Pyrrhia 
umbra experimens Wlik.; and Autographa orophila Wamp. (rather rare). A fine specimen of 
Pachysphing modesta Warris was also taken. 
Marron Lake—A few specimens were taken by Mr. C. deB. Green in the latter part of 
September; the two most desirable species being Euroa andera Sm. and Trachea mactata allecto 
Sm., both of which are rather rare in collections. 
Mr. W. B. Anderson, Dominion Inspector of Indian Orchards, states that although last year 
was a bad one from a collecting standpoint, this year was very much worse. Amongst the coim- 
paratively few species taken, the best were Heodcs cupreus Edw., taken at Paradise, B.C. a 
mining camp in the Selkirk Range at an altitude of 7,300 feet and about 20 miles from Inver- 
mere. This brilliant ‘* copper” butterfly has only previously been recorded in the Province from 
Mount McLean. A single specimen of Apantesis parthenice Wirby was taken at Invermere, B.C., 
Melicleptria sucta Grt. was taken at Chase, B.C. This latter species is very rare in the Province, 
our preyfous records being from Vaseaux Lake and the Hope Mountains, 
MICROLEPIDOPTERA. 
Owing to the extensive collecting done in this group during the previous three seasons, much 
of the material sent in was found to be a duplication of species already set up; consequently 
I only mounted some 880 specimens this season. However, many new records for the Province 
were discovered and series of hitherto rare species were taken. 
Collections have been made at Victoria, Brentwood, Saanichton, Colwood, Goldstream, 
Shawnigan Lake, Duncan, Maillardville, Seton Lake, 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, 1921, aud 1922. Included 
in this list are species taken in 1921 and 1922, but which have only recently been definitely 
determined. 
The numbers and arrangements are in accord with Barnes & McDunnough’s Check-list 
(1917), with the exception of the Eucosminze, which are arranged according to Heinrich’s 
“ Revision of the Hucosminz of North America” (1923).
