4009e. Hijdriomena nubilofasciata form vulnerata Swett. This species is new to the Province 

 and was taken by Mr. W. Downes at Sluggett's. V.I., on March 1st, 1021. Some years previously 

 Mr. Downes, who was then living in that locality, noticed a species of Hydriomena occurring in 

 February which was apparently different from any of our known spring species in that genus. 

 Owing to various causes uo opportunity offered until this spring to investigate the mailer, when 

 a nice series was takeu with the aid of a lantern. Nubilofasciata Pack, has six described forms 

 or races, all of which are colour forms (vide Swett, Can. Ent., XLIII., 79, 1911) ; this species 

 can at once be differentiated from any other British Columbia species by the dark marginal 

 band of primaries. Mr. Swett in his notes states that he has the species from British Columbia 

 amongst a number of widely spread localities, but he does not give any specific locality, neither 

 does he refer to any particular form. 



4192. Eupithecia intcrruptofasciata Pack. The specimen figured was taken by Mr. <;. O. Day 

 at Maple Bay, near Duncan, B.C., in August, 1913. This species has not been hitherto recorded 

 from British Columbia. It is an inhabitant of the Atlantic States and was described in Fifth 

 Rept. Peab. Acad. Sci., 59, 1873. Mr. Day states that it is rather rare and very local ; he has 

 not taken it in any other locality in the vicinity, excepting Maple Bay. 



4209. Eupithecia mutata Pears. Taken by the writer at Coldstream on July 2nd, 1921. 

 This is one of the rarer species of this genus. The only other specimen that I have seen is a 

 rather worn individual taken by myself in a pine woods near Victoria on July ISth, 1913. The 

 specimen figured is in good condition and was obtained by " beating " in a heavil5 r wooded 

 (chiefly Douglas fir) district. It agrees with Pearsall's description (Joum. N.Y. Ent. Soc, XVI.. 

 98, June, 1908). The species was described from the Catskill Mountains, New York State. 

 It is closely allied to albicapitata Pack., which is also a rare species in the Province, our only 

 records being Cowichan Lake (Day) and Kaslo (Cockle). 



4223. Eupithecia scabrogata Pears. This is another new record to add to the already long 

 list of Eupithecias (about fifty) recorded from British Columbia. It was taken by Mr. Theo. 

 Bryant at Wellington, B.C., on April lGth, 1903. One other specimen taken on March 24th of 

 the same year is not in such good condition. It is quite distinct from any other species that 

 we have. The determination was made for us by Mr. L. W. Swett. 



4316-1. Drepanulatrix secundaria B. & McD. Taken by Mr. Cockle at Kaslo, B.C., on June 

 14th, 1910. At first thought to be a new species. It, however, agrees with the description 

 (Cont. Lep. No. Amer., Vol. III., No. 1, page 25, Nov., 1916) of secundaria, and Dr. Lindsey, 

 who compared it with the types, believes it to be this species, although it is rather far north. 

 The species was described from Mineral King, Cal. 



4374. Phasiane hebetata .Hulst. Taken at Chilcotin, B.C., by Mr. E. R. Buckell on July 16th, 

 1921. This is the first specimen of this species in good condition that I have seen. We have bad 

 two specimens previously — one from Atlin (E. M. Anderson) and the other from Chilcotiu 

 (W. A. Newcombe) — that were referable to this species, but were so denuded of scales as to 

 make accurate identification impossible. The course of the extra and iutra-discal lines are 

 exactly the same as Barnes & McDunnough's figure (Cont. Lep. No. Amer., Vol. III., No. 4. 

 Plate XXII., Fig. 9) of demaculata, which the authors later (ibid., Vol. IV., No. 2. page 149) 

 sunk as a synonym of hvbatala. Mr. BuckelPs specimen agrees with the description and the 

 figure mentioned. The type material of demaculata also included a specimen from Field, B.C. 

 The species has a wide range, but is rare in British Columbia. 



4425. Itame pustularia Hub. This is another very rare species in British Columbia. The 

 specimen figured was taken by Mr. A. W. Phair at Lillooet, B.C., on June 29th, 1920. The only 

 other specimen that I know of in the Province is a specimen taken at Kaslo by Mr. Cockle many 

 years ago. It occurs throughout the Atlantic States and I have specimens from Manitoba. It 

 lias not been recorded from Alberta. 



4453. Dysmigiq loricaria Evers. This species is new to the Province. A nice series was 

 taken by Mr. T. A. Moilliet at Vavenby, B.C., during the middle of July. 1921. It was recorded 

 in the 1904 B.C.'i'hcck-list under the name of Sympherta Julia Hulst.. and tin- localities given 

 are Rocky Mountains and Kaslo (?). I have seen all Mr. Cockle's species and he has not taken 

 it. The species was left out in the 1900 List. Some specimens, especially if a Utile rubbed, 

 closely resemble Itame <:niiisjiic<ilii Wlk., which also occurs in the same district. The females 

 are wingless.
