inclined to think that this species may be confounded in some collections 

 with P. bilineafa, examples of which from Nova Scotia are in my

NOTE ON THECLA AUGUSTUS. 



BY REV. THOMAS W. FYLES, SOUTH QUEBEC. 



I beg to record the capture, by myself, in the neighborhood of Berger- 

 ville, Province of Quebec, of two specimens of Theda Augustus. One 

 of them was taken on the 6th, and the other on the 8th of June. I am 

 indebted to Mr. W. H. Edwards for the identification of the insects. 



A figure of Theda AugusUcs is given by Harris in his work on insects 

 injurious to vegetation, page 279. As he gives no description of the 

 insect, the following may not be unwelcome to some of the readers of the 

 Canadian Entoiviologist : — 



Expanse of wings i inch. Colour above, umber-brown, darker along 

 the costa, and at the base in fore-wings. At the centre, in the fore-wings, 

 there is a rust-red tinge or blush ; and at the anal angle in the hind- 

 wings there is an indistinct spot of the same color. The under-side of 

 the fore -wings is of a lighter shade than the upper. Beyond the centre 

 of the wing is a wavy transverse dark line. The hind-wings on the under- 

 side have a basal patch of dark umber irregularly bordered. The 

 antennae are ringed black and white.

Very similar in shape and color to A. Americana. After long con- 

 sideration I believe them to be different species, until by a larger material
