Morpholeria mclaneura. Cranbrook, April-May-October. 



PseudoTeria pectinerata. Cranbrook. June. 



QScothea canadensis. Cranbrook ; Michel. April-July. 



Acautholcria adicmus. Cranbrook; Michel, April-August. 



Acantholeria abnormalis. Michel, July. 

 A new scheme of classification for this family has been proposed by Mr. Garrett, based 

 chiefly on the length of the foremost fronto-orbital bristle, and six new genera have been erected. 

 riz. : Barbastoma, Postlcria, Amcehalaria, Morpholeria, Pscudolcria, and Acantholeria. 



The species of this family are small dark-coloured flies looking something like dung-flies. 

 They are found in damp shady places and fly in the twilight. The larvae feed in fungi, decaying 

 wood, and the dung of small animals, such as dogs, rabbits, and bats. 



Hemiptera. 



The following four species were described by Dr. H. M. Parshley in the Proa Brit. Col. Ent.' 

 Soc, Feb., 1921, page 16 et seq.:— 



Tingidw. 



Acalypta modesta. From three specimens taken at Boyal Oak. B.C.. by R. C. Treherne on 

 May 14th, 1917. 



Miridw. 



Daccria formicina. This species was described from several specimens taken by Mr. W. 

 Downes in the Saanich District, B.C., and at Shawnigan Lake, B.C.. in July and August, 191s. 



Said i da- . 



Saldula comata. Holotype male and allotype female taken at Beaver Lake. Saanich District, 

 B.C., by AY. Downes, June 17th, 1919, and paratype female at Yernon, B.C. (Downes), September 

 26th, 191S. 



Saldula nigrita. Described from specimens taken by Mr. Downes at Duncan, B.C.. on 

 September 17th, 1919. 



Lepidopteka not pbeviously recorded from British Columbia. 



The following annotated list contains those species of Lepidoptera which have been taken 

 during the past two seasons and of which we have had no previous record. It does not include 

 the Microlepidoptera, which are treated of under a separate heading, neither does it include 

 the names of species recently determined as new to the Province, but which have stood as 

 uniques in the cabinets of various collectors for a number of years. The numbers preceding 

 the names are the same as those contained in Barnes & McDunnough's Check-list of North 

 American Lepidoptera, 1917. 



Noctuidw. 



1226. Orosagrotis incognita Sm. Mount McLean, near Lillooet. B.C., August -1st. 1920 

 (A. W. Ilanbam). Further remarks on this species will be found under the heading of 

 " Illustrated Lepidoptera." 



1256. Euxoa flortuniina Sin. A single specimen taken by A. W. Phair at Lillooet. B.C.. on 

 September 5th. has been determined by Dr. A. AY. Lindsey as agreeing with specimens of 

 floramina Sm. in the Barnes collection. 



1274. Euicoa rufula Sm. Mount McLean. B.C., August 22nd. P>20. (See "Illustrated 

 Lepidoptera.") 



]2ss. Euxoa exculta Sm. A single specimen taken at Vavenby. B.C., by T. A. Moil lie t on 

 August 26th has been determined as tliis species by Dr. IT. G. Dyar, who compared it with 

 Smith's unique type. In Proc. U.S. N.M., Vol. XXII., page 424. Smith gives " North-west British 

 Columbia" as the locality for the single male from which the species was described. It is more 

 likely thai "Xortb-west Territory" was meant, as most of Smith's species described from this 

 general locality have turned out to be from Northern Alberta. I believe that this Vavenby 

 specimen is the first authentic record that we have of this species from British Columbia. 



1364a. Euwoa excellens race infelir Sm. Port Steele. B.C., AugUSl 15th, 1921 (W. P. 



Anderson). (See ■•illustrated Lepidoptera.")
