THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 97 



Thecla strigosa, Harr. Very rare some seasons, and rather common 

 others. Fh'es in the beginning of July, and frequents the flowers of 

 Asclepias and Apocynum. 



Pamphila leonardus, Harr. One specimen ( ? ) taken on the flowers 

 of Golden-rod, September 7th, 1890. The first I have taken. 



Dilophonota ello, Linn. I have been given a specimen of this '• visitor 

 from the south," that was found in the grass on McGill College grounds 

 about the end of September, 1886. This is an interesting capture, as 

 the date agrees exactly with captures in Ontario at London, Hamilton, 

 and Dundas, already recorded in the Canadian Entomologist, 



Crocota Treatii, Grote. One specimen taken at rest on the trunk of 

 an oak, July 6th, 1889. 



Dryocampa rubimnda, Fabr. This is recorded as being very rare in 

 this province (Can. Ent. VL, 220; VH., 109); but since the introduc- 

 tion of electric lights in our streets a number have been taken every 

 season. 



Thyatira pudens., Guen. One specimen found at rest on a lamp 

 post. May 13th, 1889. 



Charadra deridens, Guen. I bred a specimen of this moth Feb. 

 2 1 St, 1889. The larva was found on oak, and agreed exactly with the 

 " unidentified larva " described in Vol. XVHL, p. 124 of the Can. Ent. 

 Last September I found two larvae on white birch, but not having enough 

 boxes with me to keep all the species of larvie separate, I put a Noto- 

 donta larva in the same box, and when I reached home I found that both 

 my deridens had been bitten to death. 



Syneda Al/eni, Grote. Two specimens, 1889, o"^ taken at Cote St. 

 Antoine, flying at noon, June 30th ; the other in the city, about the 

 middle of July, by light. 



Afarmopteryx strigtthiria, Minot. I took this species in large num- 

 bers in a maple grove near St. Therese, on August 31st, 1890. They 

 seemed to be confined to this place, as in the fields surrounding the 

 wood none were seen, but as soon as the woods were entered they flew 

 up from the trees by dozens to settle again a iew yards off" on other 

 maple trunks. When at rest the wings were invariably closed over the 

 back like tho.se of a butterfly, showing the beautiful marbling of the under 

 surface.
