O 26 British Columbia. 1923 



he is a very keen naturalist his material always contains something worthy of note. The follow- 

 ing are his most interesting captures : — 



Agassiz. — Plagodis approximaria Dyar. ; a single specimen taken on July 23rd. This is a 

 very late date for this species, as our specimens from other localities were all taken in May. 



Fort Steele. — Macaria unipunctaria Wright; Phasiane orillata Wlk. ; and a single specimen 

 of Marmopteryx marmorata Pack. ; this is an unexpected locality for this species, as all our 

 previous specimens have been taken between Penticton and Osoyoos. 



Keremeos. — Euxoa cinereopallida Sm. ; two specimens taken on September 16th. Our 

 previous records are from Lillooet (A. W. Phair) and Penticton (W. B. Anderson). Euxoa 

 quadridentata flutea Sm. ; a single specimen taken on the same date. This capture extends the 

 known range of this species in the Province, as we have only had it listed previously from 

 Chilcotin (E. E. Buckell) and Fort Steele (W. B. Anderson). 



Lytton. — Oncocnemis cibalis Grt. A rather worn specimen of this uncommon species was 

 taken on September 24th. 



MlCBOLEPTDOPTERA. 



Although it has been such a poor season for Lepidoptera in general, we have been successful 

 in getting together a large number of micros; of which I have set up something over 1,400 

 specimens. Many of these have not been previously recorded from this Province, a few are 

 new to science, and our collections have been enriched by many desirable species which were 

 previously unrepresented. 



We are very much indebted to the Hon. J. G. Colville and to Captain J. Wise, who made 

 large collections during the season at the beautiful home of the former, which is ideally situated 

 en the Saanich Arm, some 16 miles north of Victoria. They collected persistently throughout 

 the whole of the season and brought in hundreds of specimens, including many desirable species 

 and several new records for the Province. Collections have also been made at Victoria, Fitz- 

 gerald, Duncan, Maillardville, Nicola Lake, Salmon Arm, Marron Lake, and Vavenby. 



The following list of species are new to the Province and are additional to those previously 

 published in the Annual Reports of the Provincial Museum for 1920 and 1921 . 



The greater part of this season's captures in the Tineina (sens lat.) have not yet been worked 

 up and anything new or worthy of note will be included in next year's report. 



The numbers and arrangement are in accord with Messrs. Barnes & McDunnough's Check- 

 list. Those marked with a star have been described since the "List" was published.
