ENTOMOLOGICAL NOTES. 



FROM J. ALSTON MOFFAT, LONDON, ONT. 



Mr, C. G. Anderson, of this city, has a friend who is an electric-light 

 trimmer, and began last summer taking the insects that he could con- 

 veniently secure whilst on his rounds of duty. When looking over this 

 material recently, Mr. Anderson observed a sphinx moth that seemed 

 strange to him ; so he brought it to me to determine, when it proved to 

 be DilopJionota ello, Linn., which is the first reported appearance of this 

 Southern moth that I have heard of since the autumn of 1886, when a 

 number of specimens of it were taken by various persons in different 

 parts of the country. 



Whilst " sugaring" on the 24th of April, Mr. Anderson found on the 

 side of a tree a Catogenus ru/ui, Fab., as a male, paired with a Cucujus 

 clavipes, Fab., as the female.
