R 2(> British Columbia. 1921 



only from Windermere) ; Acronycta niinella Dyar (known only from Kaslo and the Okauagan 

 District) ; A. innolata griseor Dyar (not previously recorded from other than Kaslo, the 

 nimotypical locality) ; Arzama obliqua Wlk. (rare), and Panthea portlandia Grt. (this specimen 

 taken on earliest known date — i.e., April 14th; regular date of emergence is in July). 



The geometrids taken included Lygris Karveyata Tayl. (very rare) : 11 ydriomena rcnunciata 

 columbiata Taylor (uncommon) ; Euphyia muUifcrata Walk, (several specimens of this 

 uncommon species taken at light) ; Philohia ulsterata Pears (Mr. Marmout reports this species 

 common at light; it has previously been regarded as rather rare); and Euchlccnu tigrinaria 

 sirena/ria Strecker (uncommon). 



Hagcnsborg. — This locality is about 12 miles from Bella Coola and is in a very wet district. 

 Mr. W. A. Sykes sent some material down that he had collected late in the season, but owing 

 to the abnormal rainfall very little was taken. However, we were pleased to receive it, as 

 scarcely any collecting has been done in this vicinity. The species received were: Pohjgonia 

 satyrus Edw. ; P. faunus rusticus Edw. ; Aglais J. album B. & Le C. ; A. antiopa Linn. ; Enargia 

 citrata Linn. ; D. citrata immanata Haw. ; Ellopia somniaria Hulst. (this record extends its 

 known distribution) ; Ennomos magnarius Gue. ; and Synuxis jubararia Hulst. 



Lillooet. — Mr. A. W. Hanhain, of Duncan, spent a week in this locality during the latter 

 part of August. Most of his collecting was done on Mount McLean at altitudes varying from 

 3.000 to 6,500 feet. Some valuable material was taken, amongst which we note the following : 

 Argynnis hydaspe sakuntula Skin, (a hew locality for this form) ; Euphydryas anicia D. & H. 

 (not previously known from here) ; Plebeius scudderi Edw. (known only from Atlin, vide Pro. 

 B.C. Ent. Soc, No. 14, page 7, 191&) ; Lasionycta sedilis Sm. (previously known from Kaslo 

 only) ; Oncocnemis atrifasciata Morr. (new to British Columbia) ; Carsia paludata Thuu. 

 (rare) ; Itame epigenata B. & McD. (new to British Columbia) ; Pyla rainierella Dyar 

 (Mount Cheam only previous record) ; Eucosma sty-giana Dyar (rare) ; and Hcpialus pulcher 

 macglashani Hy. Edw. (very local- — we have no other record than Mount McLean). Mr. A. W. 

 Phair has also taken it. 



Amongst some material sent to us for identification by Mr. Phair the following are of special 

 interest: Euxoa andera Sm. (rare and a new locality); E. quinquelinca Sm. (rare); Scptis 

 barnesi Sm. (not previously known from here) ; Aci-onycta strigulata Sm. (new to British 

 Columbia) ; A. moesta Dyar (uncommon) ; Andropolia theodori epichysis Grt. (uncommon) ; 

 Catocala nevadensis montana Beut. (rare) ; and Eosphoroptcryx thyatiroides Gue. (very rare). 



Enclerby. — Mr. J. Wynne, who resides in this district, reports the capture of Polia assiniilis 

 pulverulcnta Sm. and Cirphis commoides Gue. Both are good records. The former adds to 

 our knowledge of the distribution of this rather rare noctuid, as our previous records are from 

 widely distant localities — viz., Vancouver Island, Northern British Columbia (Taku River), and 

 Kaslo. The latter (commoides) is also rare, our only records being from Kaslo and Penticton. 



Kaslo. — A long list of captures has been sent in by Mr. J. W. Cockle, one of the oldest and 

 most enthusiastic entomologists in British Columbia. The following are of special interest: 

 Aplectoides occidens Hamp. (very rare) ; Perigrapha aehsha Dyar (rare) ; Platyperigca anotha 

 Dyar (rare) ; Arzama obliqua Wlk. (uncommon) ; Panthea portlandia Grt. (the third specimen 

 taken in this district) ; Autographa orophila Hamp. (rare) ; A. flagellum Wlk. (second specimen 

 taken at Kaslo) ; A. sansoni Dod (new to British Columbia) ; Eupithccia tenuata Hulst. 

 (uncommon) ; Macaria purcellata Tayl. (rare) ; Caripeta angustiorata Wlk. (new to British 

 Columbia) ; Clcora satisfacta B. & McD. (rare) ; Gabriola dyari Tayl. (rare in this district 

 until this season, when Mr. Cockle captured five males and one female) ; and Erannis vancouver- 

 ensis Hulst. (rare — one male taken, the first specimen taken since 1904 L 



Elko. — Mr. W. B. Anderson, Dominion Inspector of Indian Orchards, while on an inspection 

 trip in this district took a short series of ltamc occiduaria Pack. This geometer is rather rare 

 in British Columbia collections, as it evidently is a Rocky Mountain species, our previous record 

 being Cranbrook. 



Sheep Creek, Kootenay-Columbia Valley. A nice series of Eurymus alexandra on ilia Edw. 

 was taken by Mr. Anderson in the latter part of July. He also took a specimen each of Lygris 

 atrifasciata Hulst. and Euchlaena astylusaria Wlk. Mr. Anderson, whose duties take him over 

 a large portion of the Province, reports that climatic conditions were bad in most localities 

 and insect-collecting poor.
