80 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



submedian space are nearly black. The exterior, not angulated, 

 transverse line is broken into brown marks nearly continuous, 

 and followed by a whitish shade. A fine black, partly dotted, 

 terminal hair line ; fringes silver at base, else whitish interrupted 

 with brown. Palpi outwardly brownish ; head and thorax whit- 

 ish, more or less brown tinged. Hind wings slightly soiled with 

 white fringes. Expanse 32 mil. Colorado, Mr. Hulst. This 

 species differs from pectviifer in the shorter antennal teeth, the 

 white scales on the stem, and in the bleached fore wings with 

 their fine dark longitudinal hair-lines, together with the silver 

 base of the fringes. 

 In making out this List I have omitted references to the British 

 Museum, where undoubtedly many of our species are represented under 

 different names. I am obliged to Prof. Fernald for sending me specimens 

 of Dr. Packard's species, whose paper I had overlooked. 



Prof. Zeller's excellent monograph should have priority over Walker's 

 compilation in the B. M. Lists, not only on account of its merits, but 

 because there is evidence of its issue as early at least as March, 1863. A 

 separate edition was afterwards printed in July, 1863. 



Note. — Since writing the above List I am indebted to Prof. Fernald 

 for the identification of Crambus inortiatellus Clem., Proc. Ent. Soc Phil., 

 2, 418, March, 1864. It is a synonym of sericinellus Zeller, and should 

 be added to the synonymy given above. 



CORRESPONDENCE. 



The paper on three new species of Botis in the February number was 

 issued without my seeing the proof. I had, subsequently to writing the 

 paper, discovered that dissectalis was a fresh and bright specimen of my 

 submedialis, Can. Ent., 8, in. The ringlet in submedian space is so 

 obliterate as to allow only its traces to be made out on very close inspec- 

 tion. With this exception the description last published is naturally the 

 best, as my type of submedialis is somewhat faded and worn. The species 

 may be quickly known by the dark under surface, broken by pale spots, 

 the squarely produced fascia on secondaries above, the three open ringlets 

 on the yellow primaries, with their discolorous fuscous fringes, and the 

 vague fuscous subterminal shade diffuse subcostally on both pair of wings. 

 The species may be known as submedialis, with dissectalis as a synonym.
