112 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST, 



It is said to feed on Willow (Saunders). It is a well-sized species with 

 indeterminate lines and no discal spots. The female expands 38.mil. 



Eurytnene Kuetzingi Grote. 



A description and the type of this purple-black species have been sent 

 to Prof. Packard for publication in his expected monograph of the Geo- 

 metrae. It is named for Mr. Kuetzing, of Montreal, who found the 

 species. 



Sisyrosea, n. g. 



The type of this genus is the Limacodes inomatus of Grote and Rob- 

 inson. Sisyrosca inornata has the ^riale antennae bipectinate, with 

 converging setose branches, throughout their length. The palpi are 

 prominent, the body thickly scaled. The moths are of the size of the 

 species of Euclea as defined by Packard. The color recalls the sack- 

 bearing species of Perophora. S. inornata is immaculate, without lines 

 (Am. N. Y. Lye. N. Hist., 8, 1866). 



Sisyrosea Nasoni, n. s. 



£ $ . This species is of a pale brownish color, like its congener, 

 sparsely sprinkled with black. An oblique dark brown line crosses the 

 fore wings from apical third of costal to basal third of internal margin. 

 A second subterminal dark brown line crosses the wing straightly. Both 

 lines are faintly pale bordered outwardly. The thorax is slightly brighter, 

 reddish tinged. Expanse 1 inch to 1^. 



Collected by Dr. William A. Nason, after whom the species is named, 

 in Virginia. 



Canadian Insects at the Centennial. — It will please our friends 

 to know that the collection of insects sent from the Entomological Society 

 of Ontario to the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, arrived there in 

 excellent order. Visitors will find it displayed in the Canadian depart- 

 ment in the Agricultural Hall. There are eighty-six cases in all, arranged 

 in a double row on a suitable stand, which is over seventy-six feet in 

 length. We think the collection does great credit to the energy and 

 industry of our members.
