28 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 



The species is allied to arcasaria W'lk., hut the apical dark triangle 

 at costal end of t. p. line is much narrower and the t. p. line is 

 almost rigidly oblique; the cf s are considerably browner in colour 

 than the 9 's, which tend towards yellowish. 



Sabulodes imitata Hy. Kdw. 



The 9 t\pe bears Hy. Edward's hand-written label, ''Ante- 

 pione imitata, type." It is closely related to the preceding species, 

 but still more closely to arcasaria W'lk., the apical triangle being 

 intermediate in width between arcasaria and indiscretata and the 

 t. p. line bent as in the former species. Costinolata Tayl., judging 

 by the cT and 9 cotypes from Prescott, Ariz, (not 2 9 's from 

 PhaMiix, Ariz., as stated in original description, vide Can. Knt. 

 XiTV, 275, 1912), becomes a synoin-m of this species. 



Pyralidae. 



Elophila avernalis C'.rt. 



The type specimen bears Grote's written type label; this has 

 been placed by Dr. Dyar in his rc\"ision of the NymphulidcC as 

 Ab. a oi fiilicalis Clem. It turns out to be abundantly distinct 

 and the same species as that described by ourselves as Argyraclis ? 

 confiisalis (1913 Cont. N. Hist. X. Am'. Lep. II (3) 133, PI. VIII, 

 fig. 11), which thus becomes a synonym. The species was de- 

 scribed from two specimens, so that the two cotypes (ex Coll. 

 Fernald) from Hot Springs, Arizona (? New Mexico) which 

 Dr. Dyar had before him at the time of the revision are probably 

 spurious; one at least must be, which possibly accounts for avernalis 

 being associated with fulicalis. We have" a long series from New 

 Mexico and Arizona, and find the species very constant. 



King Ferdinand of Bulgaria, has been removed from the 

 membership in the Entomological Society of France, which he has 

 held since 1882. His name has also been erased from the mem- 

 bership list of the Petrograd Entomological Society. In this 

 society there has been elected in his place M. Lameere, of Brus- 

 sels, who is now working in the Paris Museum of Natural 

 History. — Science.
