Petrophora incursata Hub. is, according to Pcarsall (Bull. Brooklyn 

 Ent. Society, June, 1913), strictly European, he differentiating it from 

 our species, which he has named P. salvata, by the structure of the 

 antennje. 



In the Canadian Entomologist, 1900, page 104, Hulst described 

 Hydriomena amorata (No. 3410 of Dyar's List). This Geometer is 

 not a Hydriomena, however, but a Petrophora, and is a variety of P. 

 defensaria Gue. I have found it to be double-brooded, as I have taken 

 it at rest in September, and both at rest and at light in April, the spring 

 forms being larger and a little brighter coloured. 



Deilinia variolaria Gue. was included in the Provincial Museum 

 catalogue compiled by E. M. Anderson in 1904, but was thrown out by 

 Mr. Taylor in the 1906 check-list. This was wrong, as it is still taken 

 in the Province, one specimen in good condition being taken at Okanagan 

 Falls on Juh^3rd, 1913. 



Macaria teucaria Strecker. There has been a certain amount of 

 doubt connected with this insect. In the 1906 check-list Taylor put 

 a question-mark before the specific name teucaria, and in Mr. Skinner's 

 collection I found a specimen taken by him at Duncan some years ago 

 and labelled " Undescribed " in Taylor's handwriting. When visiting 

 Duncan in June. 1913, I was fortunate in taking a couple of specimens, 

 and submitted them to Mr. Swett for his final opinion. Last July he 

 took them to New York and compared them with specimens in tlie 

 American Museum of Natural History. The result was that my speci- 

 mens were found identical with those labelled " Sciagraphia respersata 

 Hulst," one of which was also marked " Compared with t}'pe." As the 

 late Mr. Grossbeck had the arrangement of the Geometridse in the above 

 Museum, and also was familiar with most of Hulst's types, there is no 

 doubt that the above determination is correct. 



Sympherta tripunctaria Pack, should be Gladela lorquinaria Gue. It 

 appears that the genus Sympherta was preoccupied, so Grossbeck pro- 

 posed the name of Gladela for it {Entomological Nczvs, October, 1909). 

 The specific name of lorquinaria Gue. antedates by seventeen years that 

 of tripunctaria Pack., so that name must stand, the latter becoming a 

 syniin}m. 



Alois disEonaria Hulst. One specimen taken at Okanagan Falls on 

 May "th, 1Q13, and one at Penticton on June 30th. This is another rare 

 insect and a \ery interesting record. Its type locality is Colorado, and 

 it has been taken in Nevada. 



Cleora indicataria Walker. I have taken an interesting series of 

 this insect this past season. It is (|uite distinct from umbrosaria Hub., 

 when fresh, but rubbed or worn specimens are hard to distinguish. 

 Unfortunately they get worn very ciuickl}-, not lasting more than two 

 or three davs in a fresh condition.
