tributed in the west; the others are common species of wide range 

 over North America. 



In addition to the above, I obtained some small Hymenoptera, 

 etc., which I have not yet tried to determine. 



Sunflower Insects in the Transvaal. 



Mr. J. Biirtt-Davy has been growing the red sunflowers iH. 

 anniiiis coronalus) at Burttholm, Vereeniging, Transvaal, and has 

 found the following lepidopterous visitors to the flower-heads, the 

 first three being the most frequent. I give in brackets the nomen- 

 clature of recent revisions: 



Pliisia orichalcea {Phytometra orichakea Fabricius). 



Plusia chalcites {Phytometra chalcytes Esper.). 



Melicleptria armigera (Chloridea ohsoleta Fabricius). 



Plusia exquisita {Phytometra exquisita Felder). 



Plusia oxy gramma (possibly Phytometra albostriata Brem. & 

 Gr. ; true oxygramma is American). 



Zinckenia fascialis {Hymenia fascialis Cramer) . 



Audea catocala {Ulothrichopits catocala Felder). 



Empusada chrysota Hampson. 



Coradrena sp. 



Thus it appears that in S. Africa sunflowers attract Plusiine& 



exactly as they do in this country. 



TWO LOCALITY CORRECTIONS. 

 In the Canadian Entomologist, October, 1915, pp. 329 and 

 331, Dr. Dietz described two new species of Tipulidse, which we 

 had sent to him, viz., Limnohia gracilis and Dicranomyia aquiia, 

 the localities given being "Tsolinoi Lake — about five miles north 

 of Athabaska Lake — July 5th, 1914 (F. Harper) and "Fort Resolu- 

 tion, August 24th, 1914 (F. Harper.)" I have been recently in- 

 formed by Mr. Harper, who collected the specimens, that the 

 localities should be changed to read as follows: 



Limnohia gma7i5— Tsal-Wor Lake, Saskatchewan, about eight 

 miles from the north shore of Lake Athabaska, at a point 

 midway of its length. 

 Dicranomyia aquita — District of Mackenzie, along the south 

 shore of Great Slave Lake. Arthur Gibson, 



Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, Ont.
