THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 119 



Orchestes niger Horn. A small, black hopping beetle, abundant in spring 

 upon willows, and frequently on other plants. 

 subhirtus Horn. This is a pretty species, with white bands 

 • across the elytra, of which I have taken three or four upon 



willows when in bloom. One captured later (15th July) is 

 slightly larger and differs in elytral markings and in color 

 of legs. 

 Elleschus bipwiciatus Linn. Rare on shrubbery. 



Pseudomus t?-uncatus Lee. Abundant in June on dead limbs of old but- 

 ternut trees. (See Canadian Entomologist, vol. xv., p. 79.) 

 Acoptus suturalis Lee. On hickories in June ; larvae evidently bore in 



bark, and adjacent wood, of old or dead trees. 

 Cetttorhynchus decipiens Lee. Rare on Sagittaria in July. 

 Stethobaris tubulatus Say. Rare. Found in the flowers of orchids in 

 June by Mr. Fletcher ; also (by myself) in July on Hab- 

 eiiaria psyc/iodes. 

 Rhyncholus oregonetisis Horn. Rare under bark of hardwood trees. 



As a large proportion of my weevils are still undetermined, it is proba- 

 ble that I will be able, on some future occasion, to make further additions 

 to our present record.

CORRESPONDENCE. 



Dear Sir : I have the pleasure of informing you of a somewhat 

 important addition to the Canadian list. When on a visit recently to my 

 friend, Mr. Kilman, of Ridgeway, in the Co. of Welland, whilst looking 

 over his Lepidoptera, my attention was arrested by the unusual appear- 

 ance of some specimens labeled Callosamia promethed. As I was pon- 

 dering and puzzling over them, it began to dawn upon me that it was not 

 proffiethea I was looking at, but atigitlifera, and upon enquiring, he in- 

 formed me they were his own captures in that locality. 



A few years ago I was put in possession of two pairs of angulifera 

 through the kindness of Mr. James Angus, of New York, the first I had 

 seen of them. You are aware how marked the difference is between the 

 males of the two species, the male angulifera bearing a strong resem- 

 blance in both form and color to the female promethea, with the addition 

 of the heavy whitish angular mark in the centre of the wings, from which
