96 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



CHANGE OF ADDRESS. 



Our old friend, and much esteemed correspondent, Wm. Couper, late 

 editor of the Canadian Sportsman and Naturalist, has removed to Troy, 

 New York. Misaddress is 114 Fourth street, Troy, N. Y. His many 

 friends and correspondents will please note the change. Mr. Couper was 

 one of the earhest observers and writers on insects in Canada, and has 

 added much to our knowledge of insects and their habits. We are sorry 

 to lose from among us so old and faithful a worker, and wish him much 

 prosperity. He carries with him his love for insects and his long acquired 

 habits of observation to his new field of labor. In the letter announcing 

 his removal, written May 12th, he says : " The weather has been very 

 cold for some days past and I have not seen many insects on that account, 

 I have, however, noticed that HypercJiiria lo Fab. is extremely abund- 

 ant on the lilac. I could have collected three or four thousand cocoons 

 from bushes in one garden in this city."

CHRYSOMELID^. 



My collections in this extensive family contain over ninety species, of 

 which several are yet undetermined. The great similarity of the species 

 in some genera and the variation in form and color of individuals in other 

 groups render their determination difficult. 



Donacia pubescens Lee. This species is readily distinguished by the 

 dense pubesence of the upper surface, which in our other species 

 is of metallic lustre. It was described from a specimen taken by 

 Dr. I^e Conte at Smoky Hill river, while on the W. Pac. Ry. sur- 

 vey between Kansas and New Mexico in 1867, (Trans. Am. Ent. 

 Soc. Vol. II, pg. 55.) It has since been recorded from Michigan 

 and Buffalo. Four or five specimens taken by, Mr. Fletcher in a 

 small swamp near the city, in 1878. 



jucunda Lee. This beetle is apparently not rare — it is given in 

 the Lake Superior and Michigan lists. 

 Zeugophora abnormis Lee. One specimen ; 14th June.
