THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 323 



longilabris. Say, was found in abundance on the road to Eustis by Dr. 

 Skinner, during his visit to this part of Maine in 1S94 ; but this year 

 only three or four specimens were observed. The only other Cicindela 

 seen was I2guitata, Dej., which was quite common. A specimen of 

 Monohaitwius mar moratory Kir., was the best capture in the line of 

 Coleoptera. The following Coleoptera were also captured : Tachys nanus, 

 Gyll.; Pterostichics honestus. Say; Coccinella trifasciata, Linn.; Hyper- 

 aspis fiinbriolata, Melsh.; Dicer ca ienebrosa, Kir.; Ellychnia comisca, 

 Linn.; ApJiodius fimetarins, Linn.; Trichius affinis, Gory; Rhagiuvi 

 lineatiim, Oliv.; MonoJiannnus confnsor, Kir.; Alonohommiis scutellattis, 

 Say ; Doryphora lo-lineata, Say ; Luperus ineraca, Say ; and Meloe 

 angusticollis, Say. In the capture of Lepidoptera we were somewhat 

 more successful; not that this order was in any way better represented, 

 but in the fact that some of our captures were new to our cabinets. 

 There was not a lepidopterous insect observed of which we could say it 

 was common. Pier is rapce, Linn., outside of tne small kitchen garden, 

 was extremely scarce. Grapta /annus, Edw., possibly the commonest of 

 all the Lepidoptera observed, was by no means very abundant, as only 

 eighteen specimens were captured during our two-weeks' stay, and then 

 only after a persistent effort on our part to secure them. Grapta gracilis, 

 G. & R., a very desirable species, of which we secured nine specimens, 

 was one of the few good things secured in the butterfly line. The small 

 white aphis on which the larva of Feniseca tarquinius. Fab., is said to 

 feed, was very plentiful on the branches of the black alder, but of Feniseca 

 itself we only saw one or two specimens. On both occasions when I 

 visited the alders it was after a heavy rain, and this may have had some- 

 thing to do with the scarcity of Tarquinius. Following is a list of 

 Lepidoptera secured during our two weeks of collecting : Argyimis 

 atlafiiis, Edw.; Argynnis myrina, Cram.; Phyciodes tharos, Dru. ; 

 Grapta faioius, Edw.; Grapta gracilis, G. & R.; Grapta progne. Cram.; 

 Grapta j-album, Bd. & Lee; Limenitis artheinis, Dru.; Lijnenitis 

 disippus, Gdt.; Chrysophanus hypophlceas, Bdv.; Pieris rapce, Linn.; 

 Colias philodice, Gdt.; Papilio turnus, Linn.; Arctia virgo, Linn.?; 

 Mamestra renigera, Steph.; Hadena arctica, Bdv.; Hadena modica, Gn.; 

 Caradrina rnultifera, Walk.; Cirroedia painpina, Gn.; Scoliopteryx 

 libatrix, Linn.; Pseudaglossa lubricalis, Geyer ; Therina fervidaria, 

 Hbn.; Cleora semiclusaria, Walk.; Triphosa dubitata, Linn.; Petrophora 

 prunata, Linn.; Pinipestis Zimmertnanni, Grt. ; and Crambus vulgiva-
