Eucosmitke. 



G770. Evetria colfaxiana Kearf. Taken by Mr. W. R. Carter at Fitzgerald, B.C., on April 

 17th, 1921. A short series of five specimens was taken on this date and a single specimen on 

 May 8th. This species has not hitherto been recorded from the Province. Kearfott (Trans. 

 Am. Ent. Soc, XXXIII., :'>, 1007) described the species from a single male taken at Colfax, Cal. 



0840. Argyroploce mengelana Fern. This is a good record and is new to British Columbia. 

 A single specimen, luckily in good condition, was taken at Vavenby, B.C., by Mr. T. A. Moilliet 

 on July 12th, 1021. It was described (Ent. News. V., 131, 1804) from ten specimens in poor 

 condition taken by Mr. L. W. Mengel in North Greenland in 1801. 



6859. Argyroploce duplex Wlshm. A nice series of this handsome eucosmid was taken by Mr. 

 W. R. Carter from June 21st to 28th. 1021. It is exceedingly local and was only taken in a 

 very small area. They were all taken "at rest'' on a board fence bordering a small grove of 

 aspen, which is undoubtedly their food-plant. Dr. Dyar in his "Kootenai List" records finding 

 the larvae of this species on aspen at Kaslo. It has not been recorded from any other 

 locality in the Province. I have seen one other specimen taken by Mr. Hanham at Victoria, 

 ■ B.C.. many years ago. It was described (Trans. Ent. Soc, Lond., S01, 1895) from Colorado. 



7144. Enarmonia pinieolwna Zell. The specimen illustrated was taken at Victoria, B.C., by 

 W. R. Carter on July 20th, 1921. It is rather uncommon. Mr. Carter has taken two specimens 

 and the writer took one in July, 1018. It bears a close superficial resemblance to some forms of 

 Eucosma solandrtiina Linn. The species was described by Zeller in 1840 and is widely 

 distributed. Meyrick (Handb. Brit. Lep., 474, 1805) gives its distribution as Great Britain, 

 North and Central Europe, and North Asia, and its food-plant as larch. 



Glyphipterygidlae. 



7019. Chorentis balsamorrliizeUa Busck. Takeu by Mr. E. R. Buckell at Chilcotin, B.C., 

 on May 20th, 1920. This pretty little species, with its sprinkling of iridescent scales, is a new 

 record for the Province. Four specimens were taken, but they were not in the most perfect 

 condition, the one figured being the best. It has also been taken at Vernon (Ruhmann).
