many cases both species are mixed together under this latter name. 

 During the last three seasons I have taken a long series of both these 

 species and find them easily separable, the chief distinguishing feature 

 is that in latifasciaria the extra-discal line on the primaries is heavily 

 shaded with blackish-brown, whereas imitata is of an even colour 

 throughout. Also the median band of imitata is concolorous with the 

 rest of the wing, whilst in latifasciaria it is broken up and mottled with 

 a lighter shade. They fly together in the same localities, but my notes 

 tell me that latifasciaria is generally a week later in emerging and it is 

 also much less common than imitata. 



Metanema determinata Walk. Two specimens taken at Cranbrook 

 by Mr. Garrett on the 12th May, 1915. Its general habitat is the North 

 Atlantic States, but it has been taken at Calgary by Mr. Wolley Dod, 

 although but very rarely. 



Sabulodes cervinaria Pack. I have a pair in good condition, taken 

 by Mr. Danby at Rossland on the 4th May, 1900. They have been com- 

 pared with Packard's type and are correct. In the 1904 Catalogue of 

 B.C. Lepidoptera it was listed as a doubtful species, but I found on 

 examination that the insect with that label was a female specimen of 

 Pherne jubararia Hulst. 



Sabulodes auranticaria Pack. I have one from Rossland, also taken 

 by Mr. Danby. I have a note somewhere that Mr. Taylor saw a female 

 specimen of this species taken by Mr. Cockle at Kaslo many years ago. 



This concludes the main part of my paper relating to the additions 

 to the B.C. List, and I will now proceed to the corrections and changes 

 in nomenclature which afifect our B.C. Geometridae. 



In the paper I read before you at the last Annual Meeting (Pro. Ent. 

 Socy. B.C., No. 6, N.S.), I have to correct one error of identification, and 

 that is Philopsia nivigerata Walk., which was made from a single speci- 

 men. Since then, through the kindness of Mr. G. O. Day and Mr. A. W. 

 Hanham, I have obtained additional material, with the result that 

 although very close, it is not nivigerata but is probably tabulata Hulst, 

 but I will not state so positively until I have had the specimens com- 

 pared with Hulst's type. We have three distinct forms of this group in 

 British Columbia, but it has been definitely settled that montanata does 

 not occur here, and therefore must be dropped from our lists. The 

 variety magnoliatoidata Dyar I have from both Rossland and Kaslo. 

 The species that I have tentatively called tabulata Hulst are from \'ic- 

 toria and Quamichan Lake, while the third form was taken by Mr. Day 

 at Stewart, B.C., and is probably a northern form of Philopsia canaves- 

 tita Pearsall. I hope to have this group worked out satisfactorily by our 

 next annual meeting. 



Three species of Eupithecia listed by Dr. Dyar from Kaslo in 1904 

 must be struck off our lists ; his determinations were made at a great
