these two genera, Philopsia and Talledsga, are inconstant; therefore one 

 of them must fall, and as Philopsia has priority of page it must stand, 

 Talledega becoming a synonym of it. 



Nasusina (Gymnocelis) melissa Grosbeck. Taken at (3kanagan 

 Falls on May Qth, 1913. This genus differs from Eupithecia, which 

 follows it, in ha\ing one pair of spurs on hind tibiae, whereas all the 

 species of Eupithecia have two pairs ; also in having a projecting cone 

 tuft on front of head. 



In the British Columbia Check-list Taylor has a Eupithecia listed 

 as lachrymosa Hulst, which is wrong: it should be E. limnata Pearsall. 

 Taylor was not very well acquainted with Hulst's species, which was 

 from Oregon, and, although somewhat similar in markings, can be at 

 once differentiated by the antennas, which is simple ciliate in lachrymosa 

 and bi-ciliate in limnata. Another one listed wrongly is E. togata Hub., 

 which is strictly European. Pearsall described it later as E. mutata, and 

 that name will take the place of togata in our lists. There are three more 

 records to be added to this genus — E. cestata Hulst and E. implorata 

 Hulst at Okanagan Falls in April, 1913. and E. adornata Taylor at Atlin. 

 This latter species was also taken by Mr. J. W. Cockle at Kaslo on May 

 i6th, 1914. These records are ver)' interesting, as the two districts are 

 widely separated, each having different fauna and flora from the other. 

 It is evidently a high-altitude species, as its type locality is Calgary, 

 Alberta. It was described by Taylor in Canadian Entomologist. December, 

 1906. 



One of the most interesting Geometers taken by Mr. Anderson cm 

 his Atlin trip was Eustroma destinata var. lugubrata Moschler. This 

 is a most beautiful insect of a rich chestnut colour and exceedingly rare. 

 I would like to remark here that Mr. Anderson's captures of Geometridse 

 in the Atlin District were verj- gratifying, and besides gathering in many 

 uncommon species, he has taken at least five new to the Province. It is 

 also remarkable to find that a number of species recorded from Atlin have 

 been taken by Mr. F. A\ olley-Dod at Calgary, Alberta. 



Rheumaptera hastata var. gothica Gue. Four specimens of this 

 well-marked variety were taken by me at X'ictoria in June, 1913, but 

 I did not see any during the past season. It is also taken at Vancouver. 



Rheumaptera hastata var. hastulata Hub. This is much smaller 

 and quite distinct from the preceding, somewhat resembling the variety 

 subhastata, which, however, is darker. A series of this insect was taken 

 at Atlin in the middle of June. 



Mesoleuca cassiata 1). & Sch. should he changed to M. aurata, as 

 caesiata is strictly European. 



The Mesoleuca truncata-immanata group I treated of in my paper 

 read before you at the last annual meeting (Bulletin No. 4, page 44). 

 It is unnecessary to add any more to that at present, only to remark 

 that a few specimens of that group were taken at Atlin. and they all
