180 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. 



The Curator begs to acknowledge, with grateful thanks, the gift to 



the Entomological Society of Ontario of a large collection of Canadian 



and exotic Coleoptera, which are a welcome and valuable addition to the 



cabinets. The native specimens will be used to fill up blanks and replace 



imperfect examples in the collections, and will assist very materially in 



rendering more complete the Society's representation of the insects, of the 



Dominion. Thanks are due to Mr. Henry S. Saunders, of Toronto, for 



this generous gift. 



He also thankfully acknowledges the receipt of a pair of co-types of 

 Chrysophanus aret/iusa, new species, from Mr. WoUey Dod, of Millar- 

 ville, Albena. This form is described on page 169 above. 



A NEW GEOMETRID. 



BY WM. H. BROADWELL, NEWARK, N. J. 



Cleora areataria, n. sp. — rype, i $ . Antennae filifcrm. Body and 

 wings whitish-gray. Fore wings with three conspicuous, sinuous lines, 

 discal dot faint. T. a. line beginning one-third outward on costa, rounded 

 outwardly and denticulate, inner edge bordered with dark gray ; a white 

 patch at base. Middle of wings light gray, almost white, with a faint line 

 running from lower margin to just below discal dot, then rounding outward 

 to just below discal dot, and back to costa, where it ends in a conspicuous 

 black elongated mark. 



T. p. line black and bent outward at middle of wings, then inward to 



costa ; between that and outer edge a white denticulate line of same shape 

 as t. p. line. A marginal row of black dots at ends of veins. Area from 

 t. p. line to outer edge dark gray. Fringe checkered white and gray. 

 Lower wings with a faint trace of the inner line. 



Beneath pale whitish-gray. T. p. line showing on both wings. 

 Discal dot large, jirominent and with a white centre. Discal dot on lower 

 wings smaller, black and solid. 



Legs dark gray. Fore legs darker and banded, white and black. 



Length of body, ir mm.; of fore wings, 15 mm.; expanse, 30 mm. 



This species may be known by the broad light-coloured band in 

 middle of wings, and white patch at base, equalling about one-half the 

 area of fore wings. It is almost a replica of C. atroliuenria, Hulst, but 

 smaller, and lacking the general brown cast bordering the lines of that 

 species.
