1388. Rhieagrotis flavicollis Sm. Vavenby, B.C.. August 26th, 1921 (T. A. Moilliet). This 

 species is listed in the 1006 B.C. Check-list from Wellington and Kaslo. but all the specimens 

 that I have seen under this name (about fifty from a dozen different localities) have been 

 Euxoa ridingsiana Grt. The two species are very much alike superficially, but flavicollis has a 

 more yellow costa and the collar is yellow also. 1 have the species from Xordegg, Alta., and 

 the Vavenby specimen agrees with these.

Rare axd Uncommon Lepidopteba taken ix British Columbia dueing 1021. 



Victoria. — Mr. Martin Brinkman took the following noctuids during the present season, all 

 of which are new records for Victoria: Graptolitha torrida Sm. : Acronycta funeralis G. & R. : 

 and Autographa speciosa Ottol. They -were all taken "at rest" on electric-light poles. He also 

 took a specimen of that rather rare geometer Gabriola dyari Tayl. 



Master Lewis Clark, who has recently become an enthusiastic collector, captured a fine 

 specimen of Autographa octoscripta Grt. This is the first record of this species for Vancouver 

 Island. It is a very rare species in British Columbia, as only three specimens have been 

 recorded to my knowledge. He also bred from a pupa found in his father's garden a female 

 specimen of that very rare geometer Cleora excelsaria Streck. It emerged on June 22nd. It is 

 four years since I have had a record of this species, when I took a specimen at Coldstream on 

 June 4th. 1017. A figure of this specimen was given in Rep. Prov. Mus., 1017. Plate II. 



Mr. W. B. Anderson took specimens of Volla restwa Sm. and sept is alia race rorulcnta Sm. 

 The former species is apparently increasing, as it has been taken by several local collectors 

 during the past two or three years.. It was at one time comparatively rare in collections. 



Mr. W. R. Carter, who has collected assiduously during the season, has captured several 

 very interesting species, amongst them being a nice series of Ipimorpha nanaimo Barnes. This 

 species has been a comparative rarity for many years, but from certain conclusions reached last 

 year an exhaustive search of certain localities resulted in an increased number of .specimens 

 being taken this season. As the specimens taken have always been in the vicinity of Lombardy
