Xoctiii'hr. 



Anomogyna partita MeDunnough. Described in the Can. Ent.. Vol. 53, page 179. Aug., 1021, 

 from five specimens. The type taken at Banff. Alta. (Wallis) ; two paratypes from Kaslo, B.C. 

 (Cockle); and two paratypes from Nordegg, Alta. (MeDunnough). 



Lymantriidce. 



Hemerocampa pseudotsugata McDnunough. Described in the Can. Ent., Vol. 53. page 53, 

 March, 1921. This is the tussock-moth which I had previously determined (vide Rep. Prov. 

 Mus., 1918, page 12) as Hemerocampa vvtusta gulosa Hy. Edw. It was originally discovered 

 by Mr. W. B. Anderson at Chase, B.C., who found it doing considerable damage to Douglas 

 fir. Upon the receipt of a number of egg-masses from Mr. Anderson in the spring of 1920, 

 Dr. McDunnough was enabled to breed it from the egg to the adult. From his observations 

 on the larval stages he came to the conclusion that the species was distinct and undescribed. 



Pyralidjp (Scopariiwv). 



Scoparia basalts race paciflcalis Dyar. Described in Ins. Ins. Mens., Vol. IX.. page GG. 

 April-June, 1921, from four specimens taken at Victoria. B.C. (Blackmore) ; Mount Newton, 

 near Saanichton, B.C. (Blackmore) ; and Grayland, Wash. 



Scoparia commortalis Dyar. Described in Ins. Ins. Mens., Vol. IX., page 67, April-June. 

 1921, from three specimens taken by the writer at Victoria, B.C. This species is close to 

 rectilinea Zeller, but is much browner and the paler areas more contrasting. 



Pyralidw (Crambina) . 



Crambus tutillus McDunnough. Described in Can. Ent., Vol. 53, page 1G0, July, 1921, from 

 six specimens taken at Victoria, B.C. The type and four paratypes were taken by W. Downes ; 

 the other paratype was taken by the writer, mention of which was accidentally omitted from the 

 original description. A note on this species will be found under the heading of " Illustrated 

 Lepidoptera," together with a figure of the paratype on Plate IV. 



Pyralidw (Phycitina'). 



Pyla blaclcmorella Dyar. Described Ins. Ins. Mens., page 6S, April-June. 1921. from two 

 specimens taken by the writer on Mount Tzouhalem, near Duncan, B.C., on June 24th, 1913.

 found by Mr. Cushman among some undetermined Ichneumonidse in the U.S. National Museum, 

 and was probably taken by Dr. Dyar when he made his large collection of Lepidoptera at 

 Kaslo, B.C., in 1903.
