THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



sary here to mention. It will be observed there are in my list several 

 species, and even some genera, hitherto new to science ; these have in nearly 

 all cases been published by Mr. Grote in various journals. Many of the 



Homopteridae I have omitted altogether, as it seems hopeless to identify 

 them by the meagre descriptions existing. Finally, Mr. Grote has several 



specimens yet undetermined, which will have to be added to the list. 



Thyaiira cymatophoroides — 14th July; at sugar ; not common. 



expultrix — 23rd June to July ; not common. 



Raphia f rater — 25 th June ; rare ; at sugar.

 seems its nearest allv.
