34 I Canadian Arctic Expedition, 1913-18 



Unfortunately the specimen is rubbed, rendering a more complete descrip- 

 tion impossible. 



Alar expanse, 26 mm. 



Type, male, bearing the label " Mountain below Twitya river, near Gravel 

 river. Northwest Territories, July 2, 1908 (J. Keele)." 



Paratype, female from the same locahty and bearing the same label. This 

 specimen expands 30.mm., and in general is in rather fair condition. The wings 

 are brownish and semi-translucent as in the type and there is a faint indication- 

 of a wide darker brown median band on the primaries, the outer third of the wing 

 being faintly irrorated with white. In the median and basal areas whitish scales 

 are also present. The wings of this specimen are more rounded at apex than are 

 those of the type. The latter is figured on PL V, fig. 10, the paratype on the 

 same plate at figure 9. Both types are in the Canadian National collection. 



Genus Epipsilia Hbn. 

 Epipsilia wockei Moeschler. 

 Agrotis wockei Moeschler: Wien. Ent. Mon., VI, 130, 1862. 



In the Entomological Record for 1908^ I recorded this species from Labrador, 

 July 19 (A. P. Low). This specimen is in the Canadian National collection. 



Hampson gives the following distribution: Labrador; White mountains. 

 New Hampshire; Ala Tau, W. Turkestan. 



I have compared our specimen with his figure^ with which it agrees very 

 well. 



Genus Anarta Ochs. 

 Anarta subfumosa, n.sp. 



Head, thorax and abdomen brown, thorax with black and gray hairs inter- 

 mixed. Antennae moderately serrate and fasciculate. Primaries dull smoky- 

 brown suffused with gray; costal area black along the edge and thinly irrorated 

 with white. Markings on the primaries indistinct, the most apparent being the 

 t. p. line. The basal line and the t. a. line are specially noticeable on the costa. 

 All these lines are whitish. The s. t. line is represented by a series of faint dots. 

 _ Orbicular and reniform small, whitish. Cilia inner third dark brown, outer 

 two-thirds pale brown. Secondaries white with rather broad dark brown 

 terminal band and dark brown discoidal lunule; basal area darkened. Cilia 

 whitish, inner third pale brown. 



Underside of all wings whitish, veins black-lined; discoidal spot on each 

 wing conspicuous; secondaries with dark terminal band 



Alar expanse, 26 mm. 



Type, a male, (PL V, fig. 16) from Armstrong point, Victoria island. North- 

 west Territories, July, 1916 (J. Hadley) . Paratypes, 4 males and 1 female from ' 

 the same locality, July 1-10, 1916 (J. Hadley). In one of these (male) the median 

 area on the primaries is darkened. In another (male) there are faint golden- 

 yellow scales in the subterminal area and traces of a postmedial line on the 

 secondaries. All are of a similar size to the type. Types in the Canadian 

 National collection. 



This species evidently comes nearest to A. staudingeri Auriv.
