The Agricultural College collection contains several species 

 not identified, which yet require further study to refer this mate- 

 rial to a proper specific position. The same is true of the Uni- 

 versity collection. 



The forty-seven species and varieties given above, almost one- 

 half of which are new to the Kansas list, shows that close and 

 careful work in this genus has only just begun among the collec- 

 tors of the State. The field is an attractive one to the entomol- 

 ogist, and it is reasonable to predict that the next few years will 

 find the list almost double that here given. 



THE Mediterranean Flour Moth. Ephcstia knehniella in Pennsylvania. 

 I am in receipt of a package of flour from a mill in Crawford County, 

 Pennsylvania, which is literally alive with the larv:c of this dreaded mill 

 pest. This is the first positive evidence of its occurrence in that State, 

 although we have suspected it had a foot-hold there for some time. It 

 has been very annoying to the firm in whose mill it was found for several 

 years. On account of the very dangerous nature of this creature I would 

 advise millers in eastern Ohio, western Pennsylvania and other places to 

 be on the lookout for it. W. G. JOHNSON.
