Hadena jibulata Morr. 

 Bull. Buff. S. N. S., 1874. 



I have specimens of this species from Maine and Canada, which offer 

 considerable variation ; it is probable that it should be referred to Hadena 

 rather than Dryobota ; it seems to be in a measure intermediate between 

 the two genera.

This is one of the small, slender species of Hadena, belonging to the

 lobes ; orbicular spot absent ; reniform present, situated in the centre of 

 the median dark space, white and strongly contrasting ; exterior line also

 costal shade before the inconspicuous subterminal line ; a black line at 

 the base of the fringe. Posterior wings yellowish gray, with a fine median

GRAPTA SATYRUS (Edwards). 



BY C. W. PEARSON, .MONTREAL, QUE. 



On Dominion Day, Avhile at Chateauguay Basin, I collected a number 

 of larvae which were found feeding on nettle. I secured them in my larva 

 box, and took a quantity of the food-plant with me. When I reached 

 home in the evening I was too busy to examine them carefully, and the 

 next day I found that quite a lot of them had changed to chrysalids.
