Parectopa pennsylvaniella Engel. 



Gracilaria pennsylvaniella Engel, Ent. News, XVIII, 278, 1907. 



I have bred this species from large inflated mines on leaves 

 of Aster cordifolius L., similar to the mines of P. plantagi- 

 nella Cham, on Erigeron. At first the parenchyma is not eat- 

 en in the loosened area and the mine is indistinct ; later most 

 of the parenchyma is consumed and the mine becomes yellow. 

 Cocoon in a fold of the leaf. Mines collected July i/th yield- 

 ed imagoes July 3Oth. 







Recent Collections of Spiders in Newfoundland and 



Labrador (Aran.). 

 By J. H. EMERTON, Boston, Mass. 



In the last two seasons several small collections of spiders 

 from Newfoundland and Labrador have come into the writ- 

 er's hands, which considerably extend the published range of 

 several species. The Newfoundland spiders are nearly all 

 familiar species of northern New England, but they include 

 Lycosa quinaria, previously found in the Rocky Mountains 

 and once in a bog in Maine. The spiders from the Natash- 

 quan River region in southern Labrador are also familiar New 

 England species. The Labrador spiders from Battle Harbor 

 and northward include two species of very wide distribution, 

 Epeira patagiata and Eriyone longipalpls, but all the others 

 are well known residents of mountain tops in New England 

 and in the Rocky Mountains. Messrs. Leng and Engelhart, 

 two New York entomologists, while at Battle Harbor sifted 

 the scanty leaf mold under the dwarf birch trees and found 

 Ceratinella brunnea, a common northern New England species 

 and Tmeticus montanus, Tmeticus bidcntatus and Bathy- 

 phantcs alpina, all common under moss and leaves in the up- 

 per forests of the White Mountains. In Miss Esterbrook's col- 

 lection from the northern part of the Labrador coast occurs 

 for the first time Lycosa pictilis, a species before only known 

 from the top of Mt. Washington. The accompanying table 

 gives a list of the species found with their localities and 

 range. Besides the species mentioned are two unidentified 

 Linyphiadae from Newfoundland.
