212 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [September, 



on Hederea helix in Italy, associated with Aspidiotus hedercz. 

 Without having compared specimens, it is perhaps rash to give 

 an opinion, but I have little doubt that P. hederce Licht. and A. 

 massalongianum Targ. are identical, the former of course having 

 priority. The description by Lichtenstein is short, and there is 

 no figure; whereas, that of Targioni-Tozzetti is detailed and well 

 illustrated. 



Thus the ivy Coccidae, nominally eight, may be reduced to five 

 by the suppression of L. lauri, A. nerii and Ast. massalongianum.

Addition to a Local List of the Genus Catocala, and a note on 



Papilio cresphontes. 



By GEO. A. EHRMANN, Pittsburgh, Pa. 



I find in looking over my " Local List of the Genus Catocala," 

 which was published in the ENT. NEWS, vol. iii, pp. 168-69, 

 that I am now able to make considerable increase in it, especially 

 with the material that I have accumulated during the collecting 

 season of 1893, and some few that I received from some of our 

 local collectors. I have not listed any that were not captured in 

 or about Pittsburgh. The additions are as follows: 



Catocala elonympha Hbn. Catocala denussa Ehr. 



inicronyiiipha Gn. inubcns\. hinda French. 

 cerogama\. bunberi Grt. v. flavidalis Grt. 



ilia v. uxor Gn. amatrix v. minis Walk. 



parta v. perplcxa Strk. viduata Gn. 



re/icta Walk. agrippina Strk. 



habilis v. basalts Grt. lucetta H. Edw. 



With these additions I have increased my previous list to 

 thirty-nine species "including a new species to the fauna of 

 Boreal America," and twelve catalogue varieties. 



Papilio cresphontes Cram. This species though very common 

 south of here has been taken quite frequently north, east and 

 west of our locality, but never to my knowledge been seen in 

 our vicinity until the Summer of 1893, when it appeared among 

 us as some spirit from the fairy lands, and no doubt it has come 

 to stay, as I have taken five males and two females irom the I5th 

 to the 29th of August.
