Erannis coloradata Hulst. This is a record sent me by Mr. Swett, 

 taken by Mr. Livingstone at Vancouver, ijut without date. 



Euchlaena johnsonaria Fitch. One specimen taken on June 28th, 

 1913, at Okanagan Falls. This species was listed in the 1904 catalogue 

 as taken at Victoria ; that was an error, as the species taken at Victoria, 

 Duncan, and other localities on the Island is the variety mollisaria Hulst. 

 which occurs regularly, but not commonly. 



Pero giganteus Grossbeck. This was given to me by Mr. A. W. 

 Hanham amongst some pinned material last April. When setting it I 

 noticed that it was different from the species that I had in my collection 

 labelled " honestarius (ancetaria) Walker." I sent it to Mr. Swett, who 

 pronounced it to be giganteus. It was described by Mr. Grossbeck in 

 a paper given by him in the Proceedings of the United States National 

 Museum, Vol. 38, pages 359-377. In this paper he shows that the genus 

 Azelina Gue. must fall, as Pero H. & Sch. is the older one; also that our 

 species ancetaria should be called honestaria for the same reason, so that 

 the old name of Azelina ancetaria Hubner should read Pero honestaria 

 Walker. 



In addition to the foregoing, I have taken one species and three 

 varieties new to science, the descriptions of which are now in the hands 

 of the editor of the Canadian Enfonioloyisf. but as they have not yet been 

 pulilished I cannot make any remarks on them at this time. 



I will now bring my paper to a close with the remark that in the 

 near future all our closely allied species will be separated by comparisons 

 of the genitalia of the various forms. There has just been issued in 

 England a work of Mr. F. N. Pierce entitled " The Genitalia of the 

 Geometridje," dealing with all the recognized species in the British Isles 

 and illustrated with over 1,500 figures. This work will be indispensable 

 to any cme working up the North American Geometridas, as, having tliis 

 for a basis, it will be comparatively easy to determine with certainty 

 many of our doubtful species, and to settle the vexed question whether 

 certain species are European or not. 



Below is a tabulated list of the new records which I have been 

 enabled to get together. As it is necessarily incomplete, I should be 

 glad if the collectors of Geometridse in this Province would send me 

 the records of an)^ new species, with the date, locality, and the name 

 of the authoritv who made the determination.
