THE CANaWAN ENtOMOLOGISt. 6l 



(2.) Z. jKgiatidis, from Rochester, N. Y., closely resembles our insect in 



microscopic characters. Can the diversities in outward form be 



reconciled ? 

 (3.) Is it possibe that the parasitic fungus would so alter the scale in its 



growth as to make it seem like a different species ? 

 (4.) Can the male scale be found, and if so, is it smooth or rough ? 

 (5.) Can the Queenston people tell anything of the origin and spread of 



the scale ? 



[Mr. Cockerell has more recently examined other material from 

 Queenston, Ont., and also some from Geneva, N. Y., and is strongly of opin- 

 ion that the species in both cases is the same as the Rochester (N. Y.) 

 L. juglandis. The scales are shiny, red-brown; in both cases accom- 

 panied by hibernating young. — J. F.] 



SOME NEW SPECIES OF ROBINSONIA. 



BY W. SCHAUS, TWICKENHAM, ENGLAND. 



Robinsoiiia Grotei, sp. nov. — Head white, posteriorly shaded with 

 yellow. Collar white, with a central brown spot. Thorax brown, 

 with a central white line ; patagia white, laterally edged with brown. 

 Abdomen dorsally brownish-yellow, with a subdorsal row of small 

 white spots, and a lateral row of small black spots ; underneath whitish. 

 Primaries above white, with the margins broadly brown, except at 

 the apex, where the white extends to the fringe ; an oblique brown 

 band, from the costal margin at a third from the base to the inner 

 angle, separates the white into two large spaces. Secondaries white. 

 Primaries underneath white, showing indistinctly the markings of the 

 upper surface. 



Ex., 45-47 mm. 



Hab. — Rio Janeiro, Trinidad; Jalapa, Mexico. 



This species is very closely allied to Robinsonia formtila, Grote, 

 but differs in the straight brown margins which are sinuate in R. 

 formula. 



Robinsonia perfecta, Hy. Edw., is a synonym of Sallcea ochro- 

 sterna, Feld., and Tnriiptiana obliqua, Walk., the last being the 

 oldest name, and generically quite distinct from Robinsonia., which 

 is most closely allied to Ormetica, Clem. The genus Ormetica is 

 congeneric with Euplesia, Feld., and will have priority over the 

 latter. Ormetica sphingiformis, Clem., has been redescribed by Mr.
